Great to have joined the group

Post by X29TOM »

I have a welding engineering background, my welding experience dates back to 1970 and still continues to date. I first used a plasma cutting system back in 1971, cutting stainless steel, normally in the day, stainless steel was cut using a combination of welding electrodes to generate a molten pool and then use the same electrode to force the molten metal to fall away, then when cooled down, the material edge was ground back using an angle grinder.
So, to have used plasma was quite a privilege in that time. I have worked as the Managing Director of Thermacut UK, I was involved in the design, test and manufacture of the 1st Generation EX-TRAFIRE Plasma systems, had a lesser involvement in the 2nd Generation.
I wrote the operator manuals for the systems and also for the EX-TRACK CNC system.
I'm now representing B&Bartoni Consumables, having setup the UK division, I'm converting end users in the UK to use the B&B brand of consumables.
If I can assist in any way, it will be my pleasure to help.
