About this Manual

Torchmate is a unique application involving hardware and software, so you’ll need some
instruction to get started.

Since automated machining is potentially dangerous, please take
the time to completely read through this manual and the
software User’s Guide to understand the operation of the
electronics, software and machine before cutting a part.
