Flush Beam Vs Drop Beam Cost
Voortman uses a special torch nozzle. It can last approximately 3 to 6 months depending upon how hot it is. Because the torchnozzle has a break-away head that directs the torch nozzle it is almost impossible for it to be bent. The heat from gases passing through the torch nozzle eventually wears out the nozzles. Replacement torch tips start at $75 per tip.
AutoCAD is and architectural software and works well for exporting flat 2-D pieces to plate processing machines. Where it falls short is in its ability to export files for 3-D shapes like beams, channel, angles etc. AutoCAD exports both DWG files and DXF files which are perfect for plates.
