SwiftCut after Esab ??

[Ged93]

So we all know that SwiftCut has been acquired from Esab ( ...even EWM !! ... ) , so I'm just curious to know if they have improved machines quality , customer service and if they solved all those problems regarding cnc , motors , software , PLCs and whatever .
Or .. if everything remained as it was .

Just curiousity , won't buy a SwiftCut machine anymore in my life , ever .

Surprised they're buying EWM - that will be that brand absolutely ruined.

Thats exactly the sort of brand that ESAB likes to destroy, specialist, small but respected market share.

When they took over thermal dynamics they destroyed the brand. They turned the highly respected plasma cutter line into junk, they stopped supporting products, they stopped producing the plasma welding units.

They bought Victor and moved production to South America, quality dropped to absolute junk.
