ShopSabre TC-24

Q: How much does the ShopSabre TC-24 cost?

The price estimate for the ShopSabre TC-24 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/shopsabre-tc-24#price; the request is passed to ShopSabre or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the ShopSabre TC-24 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

Full mill lengths are what the ShopSabre TC-24 is for. This CNC plasma tube cutter accepts stock up to 24 ft (288 in, 7,315 mm) long, so a stick of tube or pipe can go on the machine as delivered and come off as a set of finished, coped parts with one remnant.

The machine is long and narrow: 312 x 70 x 60 in (7,925 x 1,778 x 1,524 mm). It fits along a wall, but the wall has to be 26 ft clear and there must be a way to feed 24 ft stock onto it, either from the side with a rack or from the end. Shipping weight is listed as 1,500 lbs (680 kg), the same figure ShopSabre gives for the 12 ft model.

Long stock raises a question a short machine does not: what happens as the tube gets heavier. ShopSabre answers with two Y-axis rapid rates, 1,500 ipm (38.1 m/min) at 50% of the weight limit and 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) at 100%. The limit itself is not on the page, and at 24 ft a heavy-wall section reaches it far sooner than a 12 ft piece, so get the number before planning work in thick pipe. Wall thickness is capped at 5/8 in (15.9 mm) in any case.

The working end matches the smaller TC: an 8 in (203 mm) steel tailstock with a 7 in (178 mm) hypotenuse pass-through, rotation up to 15,000 degrees per minute (41 rpm), X and Z rapids of 500 ipm (12.7 m/min), torch collision detection and laser sights. Water cooling and a water table in 4 ft or 12 ft sizes are offered to limit heat distortion. The listed power requirement is 110 V at 15 A.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Takes tube and pipe up to 24 ft (288 in, 7,315 mm) without pre-cutting
70 in (1,778 mm) wide, so the machine can stand along a wall
Same 8 in (203 mm) tailstock and 7 in (178 mm) hypotenuse pass-through as the TC-12
Water table offered in 4 ft or 12 ft sizes, with SabreCool water cooling as an option
Listed power requirement of 110 V, 15 A

Limitations

312 in (7,925 mm) long, plus room to load 24 ft stock
The weight limit that governs the 1,500 and 1,000 ipm Y rapids is not published
5/8 in (15.9 mm) maximum material thickness
The listed water tables cover 4 ft or 12 ft, not the full 24 ft length

Best For

Fabricators buying tube and pipe in full 24 ft lengths Long handrail, guardrail and truss members Structural tube with coped ends for trailers and frames Production runs where one long stick yields many nested parts

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What length of tube does the ShopSabre TC-24 handle?

Up to 24 ft (288 in, 7,315 mm). The minimum part length is 12 in (305 mm). The machine is 312 x 70 x 60 in (7,925 x 1,778 x 1,524 mm) overall, so allow for that plus loading room.

02 Is the TC-24 slower than the TC-12 because of its length?

The listed speeds are the same as the TC-12: Y axis rapids of 1,500 ipm at 50% of the weight limit and 1,000 ipm at 100%, X and Z at 500 ipm, and rotation up to 15,000 degrees per minute. A full 24 ft stick is more likely to sit at the upper end of the weight range.

03 What sections and wall thickness can it cut?

Round tube with the round-only chuck, or round, square and rectangular tube with the advanced 4-jaw chuck. Maximum material thickness is 5/8 in (15.9 mm), and sections must pass the 8 in (203 mm) tailstock, which allows up to a 7 in (178 mm) hypotenuse.

04 What comes in the Well Equipped TC-24 package?

A Hypertherm Powermax45 SYNC with machine torch, the upgraded 4-jaw head, a 4 ft water table, Hypertherm Rotary Tube Pro software, torch collision detection with auto torch alignment, digital torch height control, XY quick-zero laser sights and a desktop PC running Windows.
