Your Bandsaw Is Costing You More Than You Think. And Your Competitors Already Know It.
The TORIX™ Series by PB Lasers is the tube laser built for North American fabricators who are done measuring, marking, and hoping the cut is square. From single-phase entry-level to 60-foot industrial production — there's a TORIX™ for the way you actually work.
We size the machine to your operation. Not to a brochure.
Every Part You Cold-Saw, Drill, and Grind by Hand Is a Part Your Competitor Cuts in Seconds.
You're cutting tube with a cold saw. Or a bandsaw. Or you're outsourcing it and waiting weeks. Either way, every hole is drilled by hand. Every miter is measured manually. Every cope is ground to fit. And you're praying the guy running the saw isn't off by a degree — because if he is, the welder has to compensate everywhere downstream.
You're paying skilled labor to do grunt work. The welder isn't welding — he's grinding. The fitter isn't fitting — he's fighting parts that don't line up. Every jig you build takes time. Every assembly you rework takes margin.
A tube laser doesn't just cut tube faster. It eliminates everything that happens between the cut and the weld.
Holes, slots, miters, copes, notches, tabs — all programmed, all cut in one pass, all fitting together like Lego when they come off the machine. No jig. No drill press. No grinder. No prayer.
Maybe one in thirty shops in North America has a tube laser right now. If you're reading this page, you're thinking about becoming one of them. The question is whether you do it before your competitor across the street does.
Because when they do, they can make and sell parts cheaper than you can make them. That's not a threat. That's math.
We Spent Thirty Dollars to Find You. Not Eighteen Million.
PB Lasers is not one of the big six. We don't have a twenty-million-dollar trade show budget. We don't have a service contract business model. We don't have a C-suite with four hundred people. That means we don't have their prices. A tube laser that competitors sell for one-point-four million dollars? We're at a fraction of that. No difference in cut quality. No gimmick features. Everything designed for production. Just the work.
Our company is built on a concept called Means of Manufacturing™. The machine comes first. The machine has to run. The person operating it has to know it inside out — not because of a service contract, but because independence is the goal. When you know your machine, you make money with it. When you don't, you call us forty-three times in ninety days. That's bad for both of us.
We don't sell machines. We create competent, independent operators who become long-term clients and buy the next piece of equipment from us because they trust us.
It's Not a Faster Saw. It's the End of the Saw.
A tube laser doesn't replace your bandsaw the way a faster car replaces a slower car. It replaces your bandsaw, your drill press, your grinder, your layout table, your jigs, and half the labor hours between the raw material and the finished weld.
The TORIX™ Series accepts round, square, rectangular, and oval tube — plus angle iron, C-channel, and I-beam on the dedicated production models. The machine cuts holes, slots, notches, miters, copes, and tabs in a single pass. Every cut is programmed. Every part is identical. Every joint fits the first time.
One of our customers was building headache racks for pickup trucks. Old method: seventeen individual pieces, cut manually, drilled by hand, stuck into jigs, four sides of welding. New method after our engineer restructured his designs for the TORIX™: five pieces. Fold it. Three sides of welding. No jig. Parts snap together like Lego. His cutting capacity went four times. One day on the tube laser equals one to two weeks of what they were doing before.
The tube laser doesn't just speed up your process. It redesigns your process. Fewer parts. Fewer welds. Fewer people. More output.
What Happens Next: The Welding Bottleneck
Here's what will happen when you have a TORIX™ running: you're going to produce more parts in a shorter period of time than you ever have in your life. That's the good news. The bad news is you're going to have a welding problem. Your cut output goes up dramatically. Welding becomes the constraint.
That's why we send an engineer instead of a tech — for selfish reasons. We want you to call us in twelve months and say: talk to me about a robotic welder. We'd rather earn that call than try to make margin off overpriced optics.
Every Inch of Material You Waste Is Money in the Dumpster.
On a traditional tube laser, the cutting head can't reach all the way to the chuck that's gripping the material. That leaves a "tail" at the end of every stick — sometimes six inches or more of usable material that gets thrown away because the machine physically can't cut it.
Over a week, that's a pile of scrap. Over a year, it's a significant line item.
The TORIX™ EDGE Series and TORIX™ EXTREME Series use Zero-Tailing Technology — a cutting head design where the head moves between the two chucks, reducing tail waste to approximately one to two inches per stick. The head reaches further. You waste less. Every twenty-four-foot stick gives you more usable parts.
Zero-tailing isn't a luxury feature. It's production math. On high-volume runs, the material savings alone can shift your margins.
From Your First Tube Laser to Your Last. We Built the Whole Path.
The Entry Point for Smaller American Shops
Not every shop has three-phase power. Not every shop has ten thousand square feet of floor space. That doesn't mean you can't have a tube laser.
The TORIX™ CORE Series is a compact 2kW tube laser designed specifically for businesses running on single-phase 200-amp service. It cuts up to quarter-inch carbon steel in profiles up to 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches. The entire machine fits in a footprint of approximately four feet wide by twenty-five feet long. It goes against the wall. It's front-loading. You choose whether the operator stands on the left side or the right side.
This is not a toy. It's an industrial tube laser scaled to the reality of how smaller American businesses actually operate. Affordable semi-auto and auto-load options are available so you're not wrestling twenty-foot sticks by hand all day.
The TORIX™ CORE was designed to do one thing: bring tube laser capability to the shops that the big brands have ignored because they can't sell a million-dollar machine to a business with 200-amp service.
Industrial Production Tube Lasers
The TORIX™ EDGE Series is the production workhorse. These are full-size Zero-Tailing Tube Lasers that accept up to twenty-four-foot stock and handle profiles up to ten inches in diameter. Available in 3kW and 6kW, with chuck options ranging from 4.5 inches to 7 inches to 10 inches.
The footprint runs approximately seven to twelve feet wide by thirty-two feet long — sized to accommodate full twenty-four-foot sticks in an L-shape or hockey-stick configuration in your shop. Auto-loading and semi-unloading are available for high-volume, repetitive runs where you need the machine working while the operator is doing something else.
The TORIX™ EDGE is where you step into serious tube production. The dedicated long-snout cutting head gets into the crevices of I-beams, angle iron, and open structural profiles that a combo laser physically cannot reach. It bevels. It copes. It miters. And with Zero-Tailing Technology, it squeezes every usable inch out of every stick.
This is the machine that turns a fabrication shop into a production operation.
Heavy Structural and Industrial Scale
When the work is too heavy for a two-chuck machine, the TORIX™ EXTREME takes over. These are three-chuck tube lasers that handle profiles from ten inches all the way up to twenty-five and five-eighths inches in diameter. Available in input and output lengths of six meters, twelve meters, and eighteen meters — approximately twenty, forty, and sixty feet — or any combination of input and output length that fits your operation.
Power ranges from 12kW to 20kW. Auto-loading and auto-unloading are standard territory at this level. The third chuck supports the weight and inertia of heavy structural material through the entire cut cycle — because when you're processing 24-inch I-beams or heavy-wall pipe, two chucks can't hold it steady enough for precision.
The TORIX™ EXTREME exists for one reason: when the structural steel is too big, too heavy, and too critical for anything less.
What Makes a TORIX™ Different
An Engineer. Not a Tech.
Every other manufacturer sends a technician. The tech makes two cuts, shows you a few settings, and gets to the airport. He doesn't actually want to share everything — because sharing everything is counterproductive to him making a living on the next service call.
We send an engineer. He ran a fabrication business. He's done eight hundred thousand dollars of custom stainless steel work for hospitals, casinos, and government projects. He's been working in SolidWorks since 2001. He doesn't just install the machine — he redesigns how you build your products for the tube laser. Seventeen parts become five. Four sides of welding become three. Jigs disappear. That's what an engineer does that a tech never will.
We don't leave until you are producing. Not demonstrating. Producing.
No Service Contracts. By Design.
In two years, you'd be mad at us if you paid for a service contract and realized you could have bought a new truck. The goal is that you know this machine so well you don't need one. That's why we invest more in installation — more days, more engineer time, more real production during training. You pay more upfront for independence. You don't pay forever for dependency.
A Year of Consumables. Included.
Every TORIX™ ships with fifty protection lenses, six ceramic nozzles, twenty-four standard nozzles, and two complete focal and collimating lens sets. Enough to run a year without blinking. We built this model because we know firsthand what it's like to get raked over the coals on consumables — four thousand dollars for a protection lens, then seven, then twelve, then they tell you the head is discontinued.
That is not going to happen to you.
Software Included. No Subscription. Forever.
Fully featured nesting and CAM software comes with every TORIX™ — machine-side and desktop, both permanently licensed. No monthly fee. No annual renewal. No subscription attached to your production output. Plus our proprietary ShopFlow IQ™ and Off-Cut IQ™ software for job tracking and material management — included, set up by the engineer during installation.
Built to Twice the Weight. On Purpose.
The TORIX™ frame is annealed, heat-treated, and machined in-house. Physical weight is literally double many competitors in the same category. Internal components are UL-listed Schneider electronics with full electrical schematics. Max fiber resonator. Boci cutting head. Chucks built in-house — so you never get the phone call that says they don't make your part anymore.
Before You Hire Another Person, Do This Math.
On a lease-to-own, a TORIX™ tube laser costs you roughly twenty-one to twenty-eight dollars an hour on a standard work month. What do you pay the guy running the cold saw, drilling holes, and grinding miters? Twenty-five, thirty, forty dollars an hour? And he still can't produce what this machine produces in a single shift.
The machine doesn't call in sick. It doesn't need health benefits. It doesn't show up hungover and throw off every downstream weld. Every payment is one hundred percent tax deductible. Section 179 lets you write off the full purchase price in the year you take delivery.
If you're already outsourcing tube cutting and waiting four to five weeks for parts, you almost have a free tube laser. The processing cost you're paying someone else nearly covers the lease payment. That's not a cost — that's a reallocation. You bring it in-house, you control the timeline, and the machine pays for itself out of what you were already spending.
A leasing company approves you in forty-eight hours. A bank takes six to eight weeks and wants your house as collateral. There's a reason smart fabricators lease.
Real Shops. Real Results.
Spider Industries — Wenatchee, Washington
Josh makes headache racks for pickup trucks and railings. Old method: seventeen individual pieces, cut manually, drilled by hand. New method after our engineer restructured his designs for the tube laser: five pieces. Fold it. Three sides of welding. No jig. One day on the laser equals one to two weeks of previous output.
His welders called a meeting — they were scared they'd lose their jobs. The engineer told them: you're not losing your jobs. You're welding four hundred racks a month instead of one hundred.
Josh bought the machine sight unseen.
Gary the Sign Maker — First-Time Solo Operator
Gary makes roadside signs. He'd never touched a laser in his life. He needed a hundred signs cut with slots in square tubing so sign panels could slide in from the side. We gave him one window. He finished the job by himself in three shifts. No fabrication background. No helper.
If Gary can do it, your shop can do it.
"You guys are nothing if not amazing with all that you have done and are doing to help us out here at Spyder."
"Your engineer that trained us has a deep understanding of how parts come off the machine — not just how it runs, but how to make better products."
Not BLM. Not Bodor. Not Even Close to Either.
If you're comparing us to a legacy tube laser brand:
You're paying for their trade show budget and their service contract ecosystem. The same machine that costs one-point-four million from a legacy brand delivers the same cut quality we deliver at a fraction of the price. And when something goes wrong, you're not waiting for a tech who's never seen your machine before. You have three personal cell phone numbers: the owner, the engineer, and the electronics specialist.
If you're comparing us to a low-cost import:
Different machine category. Lighter build, assembled from mixed suppliers, not engineered to North American spec. We're nearly double the physical weight. UL-listed components throughout. Chucks built in-house. Not the same tier.
If you're looking at a used tube laser to save money:
There's an old saying: first one drives it, second one pays for it, third one repairs it. You don't know what duty cycles that machine was pushed to, what reflection damage it took, or what parts don't exist anymore. A new TORIX™ with a warranty, mission-critical spares in North America, and an engineer who trains you into production is a completely different risk profile. The numbers are closer than you think.
You Don't Get the Keys to the Airplane Until You Qualify as Co-Pilot.
A plasma cutter is a go-kart and a chainsaw. A tube laser is an airplane with a glass cockpit. Focus depth, gas combination, beam alignment, power ramping, nozzle selection, bevel compensation — you have to understand all of it. Not because it's scary. Because when you understand it, you make money. When you don't, you make phone calls.
We train Full Metal Jacket style. You do it our way. We don't just hand you parameters — we teach you how to get to those parameters yourself. Because the first time something is different about your material, your gas, your ambient temperature, you need to know why you're adjusting what you're adjusting.
When the engineer leaves, you get a complete standard operating procedure. If you ever bring someone new on, you have a template. You're not playing broken telephone. And if you have a son or daughter who's going to work in this business — they need to be there for the full installation. That kid becomes your best operator, your best marketing asset, and eventually your succession plan.
You pay more upfront for competence. You never pay again for dependency.
