please advise

Post by BAR M »

I use a torchmate cnc setup for art work. It sometimes does not get used for weeks at a time. I am usually cutting mild sheet, 16 to 12 ga. The system is about 10 yrs old. It came with a Thermal Dynamics A 60 torch. That torch lasted about 8 yrs. I bought a new A 60 2 yrs ago and now it is in the repair shop, for the last 3 wks. I am considering buying a new system and I wonder if a different make will last longer, such as Hyper Therm. I do not abuse any tools, ever.

Thank you for reading. Bob

I use a torchmate at work and originally it had a Thermal Dynamics A80, Honestly I never liked how it cut. Now we have a Hypertherm 85 hooked to it and it cuts great. If you are able I would definitely go with a Hypertherm.
