New Torchmate 2'x2' CNC Plasma Cutting, Routing and Milling System - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Torchmate · 10-12-2009, 07:03 PM

I put the thread here:

/forum/shop-tools/827864-new-torchmate-2x2-plasma-cutting-milling-routing-system-ready-launch.html

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Torchmate · 10-13-2009, 12:22 PM

Lots of really great posts on the thread about this new system of ours. I really appreciate all the input!

Torchmate · 10-15-2009, 09:45 AM

$1,995 for the basic unit and we will begin shipping December 1st. Still making changes to make it stronger for milling. Details about the wait list can be found on the other thread. Again, lots of great responses, suggestions and questions in that thread. Thanks for everyone's input!!!

So, my PM box is full from requests on the small system. If you want to get on the list or have questions, then please email me directly at bill@torchmate.com

I will work on getting it cleaned out.

Torchmate · 11-05-2009, 05:50 PM

Final (almost) pic's and pricing up on other thread. Tell me what you think! I venture to say the this is the strongest machine we have ever produced other than our Routermate line of CNC Routers.

What time? I took off from my office at about 5pm. I will be back in to check my email on Monday if it can wait until then or you can PM questions to me on here.

Only at 10:45 pm, not a problem it can wait.

Thanks

I haven't heard back from you yet, maybe I put the wrong e-mail address, so I'm sending you a pm now.

Thanks

Torchmate · 11-26-2009, 10:07 AM

I posted up some new pictures of the final product the other day on the following thread. We have begun to take the deposits and production has begun. Check it out!

The new website for this machine is up and running. It is a work in progress. We took a lot of questions from the other thread on it and used them in the Q&A section.

Bottom left with white letters instead of red.

I still never got a pm or e-mail from awhile ago...fyi.

PAToyota · 12-10-2009, 08:15 PM

I take it that is front and back? Not six versions but three?

Bottom one. Either red or white lettering. Keep it simple.

You are correct that those are front and back views of each color scheme. I have to veto the white. White will turn brown in short order. Plasma dust and smoke is unavoidable unless you only plan on routing and milling with it.

Srouf7, I will get a reply to your email. Sorry!

cccbroncos · 12-11-2009, 07:11 AM

I like the black base, with red gantry... but the all black with red lettering is cool too!

kyCJ5guy · 12-15-2009, 08:34 AM

Can I get a price on a 2x2 with the router, torch holder, and any other parts to get me started with any applicable military discount?

Also can I get a price on one without the router?

Give a call and talk to one of our sales people. They can put together a couple of quotes with everything you want. (866)571-1066. They are going to want to know what torch you will be using and will also talk to you about software. Unfortunately, there are no discounts on this little machine. I am fighting just to keep it at the price it is. Not a lot of profit in this little thing. Let me know if you don't get what you need from my people here. Things have gotten to the point where I can't do the quotes fast enough. I have to rely on these guys to help.

I just noticed you are in Iraq. Send me an email at bill@torchmate.com. I will make sure someone gets in touch via email, which is probably the best way considering your location.

pos97tj · 12-16-2009, 05:44 PM

1 vote for black with red lettering

I cant wait to get mine, hopefully getting a call from one of your tech guys any day now

Torchmate · 01-01-2010, 10:19 AM

All of those at the top of the list can expect shipping to begin next week. A few units are ready to go and the rest should be assembled quickly. We are still a little on edge about how to pack these first units because our packaging supplier is still working on the final box configuration. In the future we may offer different colors, but for now this is what I decided on. This is the same color scheme that we use on our Torchmate XS2 CNC Plasma Tables as well (shown in the bottom picture).

PAToyota · 01-01-2010, 12:01 PM

Looking seriously sweet!

Just to confirm, you're going to make a round of calls before shipping them out? I need to change some shipping info before mine is sent.

Yes. The plan is to begin making those calls in the first few days of next week.

New video. We will be debuting the new Torchmate 2x2 machine live on PirateTV on Tuesday, January 12th. Hobart sent a plasma cutter for Lance to try. So he sent it to me to beat on. The thing cuts great!
