    Mike,
    Can you guys at Torchmate extend the width of the TM1/TM2 to 7', instead of the 6' specified in the catalog? I need cutting capacity of 7'x20' for a simple, personal project.

    But with plates or sheets of material being 20' long, a forklift will not be enough to lift the plates evenly. The material will curve a lot.
