I also run torchmate and don't know where on the program to find it but if you send it to the cutting software and select the speed to cut then multiply the ipm with the estimated time it should give you a rough idea how many cut inches it is
hope this helps

The other posted was right on...multiply your IPM speed by the time to cut the file, i.e, cutting at 60 inches per minute times 5 minutes equals 300 inches of cut. Don't forget your pierces if you are trying to figure out how long your consumables last.

Are you using the TM cutting program? At the bottom, middle, is the time it takes to cut the file you have open.

Left of the Start/Reset buttons, and it's labled RUN TIME.

Would it be possible for you to do a screen shot and send it to me? jmsrbrt at gmail dot com

Just in case, hit your PRINT SCREEN button and then open your PAINT program where you can open what you just saved.
