Im looking forward to learning more from all of you, maybe meeting up with a few Michigan folks. Here are a few pics of my shop, projects, Mr. you were a good friend while you were around! im looking for a recommendation.Ill need a machine torch also. I like what I have read on the internet from users of the Hypertherm and with my use being light to medium duty with a max steel cutting capability of up to 3/8" steel. I have a lot of money is Miller gear but this being the second Miller machine I have owned that has lost its smoke. Should I cross over to the Hypertherm side or stick with my boys in Blue. The really bad thing is that after tuning my machine, tonight was going to be my first paying job. it had a 60 day warranty but since im not made of cash I bought it and put it in the garage until I saved up enough money to buy a table. Miller not more than 6 months ago from a local Miller dealer used. my Miller Plasma cutter (701) bit the dust. I was very pleased with my new iron baby. I had this baby humming and my confidence was sky high. So, almost a week later and cutting a few dozen little designs, adjusting the slack out from the geared belt and tightening down the set screws on the gear that drives the X axis that had backed out over the last 10 years. I am curious what new things they have added with the new upgrades that are 3 versions ahead of mine. This was all in clear concise English and really easy for a knuckledragger like me to understand. And unlike some users manuals I have read lately. the FlashCut program that came with my table is really easy to understand. So, after a few days I was cooking with fire. it worked out perfect, didnt loose any fingers or damage the trailer. I made this time lapse video of how I had to unloaded it since I dont have 2 forklifts. So, I drove over and 2 forklifts put this monster of iron on my car hauler. So, I was very happy to say the least to see a used table up for sale within 100 miles of my place. Their website is impressive, and when I talked with the sales guy on pricing a new table he seemed to have lots of time for my many questions and details. My first impressions with FastCut were what lead me to purchase this used machine. I purchased the FastCut CNC table from an industry shop in Michigan who used it for prototyping small parts, they downsized to a 4'X4' table to save space in their shop. I have a full time job and have decided after much searching that I would move from having a hobby of metal work to a source of enjoyment and hopefully some profit in the CNC Plasma and light fabrication market. Im a proud new owner of an older but rock steady 6'x12' FastCut table equipped with a FlashCut software package version 1.
