    new to me torchmate 2 i think

    hey guess, finally got my first personal cnc table. i dont know much about it yet, i guess its a torchmate 2 4x4 with the avhc. the signal generator is the older 401a

    i am curious to know if the table would work for light cnc routing ( mostly soft wood, foam & vinyl cutting) although i would love to prototype aluminum rc parts im doubting the table has the rigidity for that

    im also wondering if anyone has any ideas to clean the rust off the tracks and gears? all i can think is wd40 and a brillow pad, maybe pb blaster






    here is the table i use at work currently, although fun, the definition is terrible

    yep, scotchbrite and PB blaster and elbow grease, lol, I use turtle wax on the rails when clean, they dont rust up so much.
