Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 2-D shape Cutting solutions.

I just got a brochure in the mail (finally) from Broco. www.Brocoinc.com
They make a torch system that runs on a 12 volt battery and an oxygen
bottle. It will cut up to 6" thick steel plate. The cost is very cheap
too, since all you'd need is the smallest version they sell. You could
mount it so as to be easily removed and still use it as a portable
cutting/gouging torch.
