Overview

The Lincoln Electric Torchmate 4400 is a 4x4 foot CNC plasma cutting table built for small fabrication shops, job shops, and educational programs. The 4400 integrates directly with Lincoln Electric's VIKING plasma power supplies and is built in the USA, offering a tight hardware-software integration that simplifies setup and troubleshooting. The gantry features precision linear bearings and stepper motor drives with anti-backlash gearing for accurate part repeatability on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The table uses a slat bed with water tray for fume capture, and the included FlexCut 125 plasma cutter delivers clean cuts on material up to 1 inch thick. Programming is handled through Torchmate CAD/CAM software included with the machine, supporting DXF import and true-shape nesting for material yield optimization. The 4400 is popular in technical schools and entry-level production shops for its out-of-the-box completeness.

Small fabrication shops cutting structural brackets and flat parts Technical schools and vocational programs teaching CNC plasma Custom metal art and sign shops needing compact footprint Job shops adding plasma capability without large capital investment

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Does the Torchmate 4400 come with plasma cutter included?

Yes. The standard package includes a Lincoln Electric FlexCut 125 plasma cutter. The table can also accept third-party plasma units, though integration and THC compatibility must be verified.

02 What software is included with the 4400?

Torchmate CAD/CAM software is included. It supports DXF import, part drawing, and true-shape nesting to optimize material utilization.

03 Can the 4400 cut aluminum and stainless steel?

Yes. The 4400 cuts mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Maximum cut thickness varies by material — approximately 5/8 inch on stainless and 1/2 inch on aluminum with the FlexCut 125.
