Justa quick howdy from Bronson Florida. Have a TM 4x4 with a Hypertherm PM1000 G3 w/machine torch. Love the small shop machine. Wish I had bought it sooner. Had it about 5 years now, got the Font add-on and that was a good addition, as well as a cable guide kit. My computer and controller are cieling mounted on a track to conserve shop floor space when not in use. The whole machine fits in my small (20x20)fab shop perfectly with the Mill, Lathe and welding table with tig, mig and arc welders. Been on Millerwelds, Hobart, CNCZone, and Weldzone for a while too. I'm medically retired from Iraq and just got well enough to come home and stay, so I do tend to troll from time to time due to pain and sleep issues, so accept my appologies because it isnt intentional or intended to be mean spirited. Thanks!!!

Welcome to the forum! What is it you use your machine for? If you could take some pictures of your setup it's always cool to see different customers installations.
I would also like to thank you for your service to this Country! :usa:

I would love to see the computer and controller ceiling mount. I hate having mine on the floor and it would be super easy to get it up out of the way with my "mezzanine" running over the machine.

I/ll try an get a pic. I used Tractor supply sliding door track and built a 14 Ga sheet box thats 2' tall and 40 inches wide and 14 inches deep and suspended it from the rollers on a 1 inch square tube frame. It aint the prettiest girl at the dance but it keeps it all nice and compact. Cables all run overhead and drop down on the center of the table into a cable guide across the top of the linear slide. I havent been out to the shop and worked it since I got sick and finally got to come home, but it has made tines for root rakes, bucket patches, repair plates, and thin guage yard art in the past. When I left for Iraq, I piled a lot of stuff from my off site truck shop in and left, so I gotta clean it all out and get it back working again.
