    4X4 Small Shop log

    Hi guys,

    Lots of info here for sure. Skipping through the post I learned alot and was able to make what I think are informed decicions. I wanted to start this thread to track my experiance as a novice in ordering, assembling and operating the Torchmate 4X4 Small Shop Machine. Hopefully with my observations and your help we can put together information to help other start up Companies get the most of thier $$ and machines.

    Today, 1-3-08 I ordered my machine. After a few phone calls to Pete at Torchmate that is. He was very helpfull yet allowed me to make up my own mind. I also ordered a TD 101 from a local Welding Supply Company. This saved me a good bit of $ off Torchmate's price and a bunch on shipping cost to. So here I sit waiting for delivery.

    More to follow...

    Thanks Mike,

    Your support is why I picked Torchmate. I did recieve the 3 packages as promiced. All that came is the aluminum kit for the table and gantry. No instructions and no electronics as yet. I put the table together from pictures on your site, hopefully I got it right and dont have to re do it. I'm getting anxious and need to get several of my parts back in production so I can pay for this thing!

    Almost all was delivered today. The only back order was the cassette that moves across the gantry. I didnt just get some note saying it was back ordered, not even an e-mail... No, I got a phone call with a real person explaining the details and letting me know when it will be here. I was able to bolt the table together quickly. It is impressive and SOLID. I am very impressed so far...
