I fixed a 5 x 10 a couple of years ago, many little problems, mostly by bad
choice of wiring connectors, pinions gears with no keys, etc.
I got the machine up & running for the customer, but it was not a good, robust machine,
both mechanically, nor electrically.
The other day, I get asked to help start up a brand new torchmate "growth series" 4 x 4.
Supposedly "New & Improved", software and controls.
Same bad software (just different screens), same bad wiring practices (a real cobble job) and the table itself is quite flimsy. (the 5 x 10, the best thing on it was the table, quite robust)
I cannot understand why they are still in business, and how blindsided Lincoln electric was
to invest in them.
