Plasmacam, Torchmate, and Samson are some of the systems I have found so far that seem like they are worth a look.

Is there a list of the commonly available (lower priced) plasma CNC systems, what they come with, what they need, as well as an idea on the basic pricing?

I had assumed, and verified that they all (not the huge/expensive commercial units) require a basic computer and plasma cutter, but they are evasive on even the most basic info on prices.

Plasmacam even had one that you could assemble the basic framing to save $$$ on the over all system.

Other than the price on some of the Torchmate systems, and a few numbers rumored on some web sites about what some say they paid, they all want you to call a salesman.

The 2X2 $3000 and 4X4 $4000 for the gantry are not bad as you can adapt another table and fabricate the remaining parts your self.

I $ee that the co$t of the proprietary $oftware is an i$$ue though.

Anyone know about the possibility of using open sourced like FastCut does with the Torchmate?

Any info on the other systems would be appreciated.
