Was it a Torchmate?

If so, what materials did you use it for mostly? Did you modify the cutter head at all or what gas you were using. I'd love to hear more about the setup if you used it for FRC parts because MORT just got a CNC plasma cutter as well and they're looking to set it up for the season. I'm not sure what company or model this one is though. I believe it is a PlasmaCam.



Thanks!
