It will create .dxf or gcode files.
Torchmate cad exports .dxf. You then open that .dxf in the Torchmate table driver program which converts .dxf or .dwg into gcode for cutting.
With you a Torchmate cnc table, you work with 2...
With the material your using, your limited in welding processes.
My first choice would be tig.
I used ceramic wool matting around the wall thimble for the selkirk flue on the wood pellet stove i put in my house. Nice stuff to work with.
I have no regrets with my little Torchmate 2x2. For the cost, it has served me well. Just wish I got got a larger unit now.
I'm using a Thermal Dynamics plasma with my set up. I have been pleased...

Lincoln now owns Torchmate.
Those hand held helmets can be used with a mig welder but I myself like using 2 hands for all welding methods.
I have had 2x2 for over a year and a half now. It is a great little machine for it's size. Worst thing about a 2x2 is having to break down a 4x8 sheet into 2x2 pieces. I dont have a large power...
Plasma arc welding is nothing new.
Strange you were missing a part when Torchmate assembles and tests all units prior to packaging and shipping.

You willl need the specific torch holder for the hand torch and machine torch. Whats nice about the hand torch is you can use it off the cnc table, the machine torch stays on the cnc table.
As for...
ESAB makes a very good cutter. Right up there with Hypertherm and TD units.
We have an older 1150 ESAB at work running on 3 phase and it is a very good cutter. Be carefull buying a used older ESAB...
I have a 2x2 with a TD cutmaster 52.
I could purchase a $150 add on board for my cutmaster 52 that allows dirrect plug in for automated control. It was cheaper for me to splice in the on/off torch...
Highlight the entire drawing (F3) and arange, break path, highlight the drawing again (F3) then arange, make path using .01 setting. Highlight the entire drawing again (F3) and arange, connect path....
Yes, the table driver softwate needs to reinstalled as well. You will also have to make sure the proper windows driver is installed beit the 32 or 64 bit driver to run the software, depending on your...
I just recieved another brochure in the mail from plasmacam. In it I see plasmacam has a new pipe cutting accessory. Does anyone have any experience with thie new accessory? From the pics it almost...
I don't agree.
Aluminum mig wire is very soft. That can lead to feeding issues because of the softness and suppleness of the wire. This is why there are spoolguns.
Now, take some soft 4034 .030...
The ESAB cutters are quality cutterst as well, however the high frequency start feture can sometimes cause issues with computers.
I'm not familiar with the ESAB 875.
Is that model a high frequency start machine?

It's interesting that Torchmate CAD is crashing for you while exporting .dxf files.
I have never had this issue myself while exporting .dxf's with Torchmate CAD.
The only time this program...
Oops, forgot to mention. Correct cutting air pressure will also influence dross levels too.
Agreed.
Dross should be dealt with by adjusting travel speed and or amps. Your plasma cutter manual will have speeds listed for the thickness of material and amps your using. Get to that speed zone...
There are 3 names in plasma cutting that stand out above the rest. Hypertherm, Thermal Dynamics and ESAB.
One of the china made units may be all you need. The torch is the big question? Consumables...
Like Mike said Shannon, the CAD program is just the design program. The torchmate driver program runs the machine. You will get the driver program free with the purchase of the cnc table. The CAD...
If your used to using a handler 135, the jump to a handler 210 is a big step up. The handler 210 goes for a very good price at Northern Tool and comes with a spool gun. The 210 costs much less than...
When I recieved my 2x2 from Torchmate, the gantry (y axis) motor had had the connection plug on the end of the wire pulled off durring shipping. I called Torchmate and they had me remove the motor,...
I do just as Mike said to do.
I spray a shop towel with WD40 and just give the rails a wipe to clean, protect and lightly lube them every so often.
When welding aluminum it is best to have a ball on the end of your tungsten. That spreads out your arc as aluminum is more of a heat sink than steel of comprable size thickness.
Pure tungsten (green...
The others have answered most of your questions.
You can mig al but a spoolgun will do the best job.
100% argon shielding gas is required for this. Argon/co2 will not do.
Mig welding al with a...
