What's the difference between the TPC tube line and the HPM structural line?

Short answer

TPC uses a chuck system that rotates tube and pipe through the cut. HPM is a dual-station platform cutting structural profile (beam, channel, angle) plus flat plate, with bevel weld prep. Beam and channel dominant, start with HPM; tube dominant, start with TPC.

The full answer

TPC uses a chuck system that rotates tube and pipe stock through the cut. HPM is a dual-station platform: one station cuts structural profile like H-beam, I-beam, channel and angle, and a second station cuts flat sheet and plate at the same time, with bevel-cutting capability for weld prep. If beam and channel dominate your mix, start with HPM. If round or shaped tube dominates, start with TPC.
