Welcome to the family! Don't know about your area, but our local community college offers courses in CAD/CAM as well as using a plasma table. Might be a good place to start. Good luck!

What kind of classes are you looking for? How to operate your Torchmate? Produce a DXF? Convert the DXF into a G code file???

I'm just looking for like the best way of doing things what amps to use to do what and really to learn what this machine is capable of. my boss wants to use this to make percison production brackets that will be repeatable and hold a tolarance sofar I am not having the best of luck. I figure the more info I have the better I will be able to operate this thing.
