CNC tube coping machines?

I'm looking for information on CNC tube coping (nocthing) machines. There doesn't seem to be to many out there, I found a expensive laser one, but I'm looking for something cheaper that uses a plasma. Does anyone know a company that makes something like this?
Thanks

Depends on what you mean by "tube". Also depends on the tolerances you require. Oxy-fuel doesnt have the control, especially on small stuff, that laser does. So if you are doing precision on 1/2", then you are pretty much stuck with laser. Might be a waterjet system out there?

Most of the plasma and torch, models are for larger diameters- 2" and up usually.
For smaller stuff, its usually either done with a laser, for the precision, or done mechanically.
IE, with a shear setup, either freestanding or tooling that fits in some kind of press, or sometimes even with abrasive belts.

Assuming you want big,
these guys make a plasma model, made in USA.

Heres one, think its from Taiwan, should be cheaper-

You really ought to get the Tube and Pipe Journal, if just for the ads. Its free.

Most of the industry advertises in it.

also, this is good site- http://www.tubenet.org/main.shtml

I've been down this road and found that it's all uphill...depending on what you're needs are.

If you need precision fitup for TIG welds (like I do), by the time you figure in machine cost and secondary cleaning of the cut, having an outside source laser cut your tubes will be cheaper and much less hassle.

Thanks for the info guys.

If you are going to outsource, you can try Laser Industries in Orange, CA. They got a 5 axis laser that can do most laser cutting projects.

They cut a bunch of angle iron brackets from two angles for a buddy of mine and the parts were clean and precise.
