Founders Andrew & Bethany Dueck, launched Bear Country Metalworks (BCM) in 2019. They were young and were looking to find another source of income to supplement their main job in the family business. They purchased a Torchmate CNC Plasma table for cutting parts and designs for their customers.

The company sold to Kevin Fast in 2025. Where Kevin moved the company to Carberry, MB. With the goal of expanding and serving more customers.

WHAT IS CNC?

CNC is the acronym for computer numeric control, it is a system that uses numbers to plot a position on an X and Y-axis. So when you look at the picture of the table at the top of this page the bottom left corner of the sheet of metal is X0 Y0. The long side of the sheet is the X-axis, the short side of the sheet is the Y-axis. So if the torch were to move to the right end of the sheet and to the far side of the sheet you would find yourself at the X120 Y60 position. So all that happens is the computer tells the torch to move from what we call the “Machine Zero” X0Y0, to the different points on the machine as I plot them in the design software. so if you were going to cut a 2-inch line along the X-axis,1 inch in from the bottom corner, your coordinates would be to cut from X0Y1 to X2 Y1. That is a brief overview of what CNC stands for.

WHAT IS PLASMA?

Plasma is the fourth state of matter, we have solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Plasma is created once an element is heated up beyond the gas stage, at that point, it turns into plasma. It is an intensely hot jet of air(plasma) in this situation that cuts the metal. The jet of air(plasma) can be as hot as 40,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Electricity is what ionizes the air and turns it into a plasma which at that point blasts the metal away from in front of the tip of the plasma torch. I hope this gives those of you looking for a bit deeper understanding, a slight picture into the complex world of CNC PLASMA CUTTING! GIVE US A CALL TODAY
