My husband has purchased a dynatorch and yet to get it rolling. Seemingly small things keep going wrong. This is an 8ft gantry, he built his own water table...everything is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Had to buy new tips to keep the arc going to cut expanded metal mesh.
The machine starts cutting the expanded metal scrap pieces he uses to 'test' the new copper tips. SOMETHING GOES WRONG when he then places a full sheet of mesh on the table...the cover plate for the torch POPS loose EVERYTHING comes to yet another hault.
With the money that has been spent to purchase this Gantry and the inability to start using it, I NEED TO KNOW...is Dynatorch a good purchase?? Have other users experienced a series of failures with this equipment just trying to get started?? Does this quanlify as mechanical failure??
The table is level, no reason for torch to 'snag' or whatever it did to cause the cover plate to pop off. I AM ANGRY, my old man is HOPEFUL, due to customer service being very responsive. "I don't know what you did" was a comment he received from the company - sort of jokingly, but all he did was use the machine.
Have we just gotten the biggest most expensive paper weight in the world???
