Crossfire XR for HVAC Ductwork

[mhugunin]

I’m looking at buying the Crossfire XR for my residential HVAC business. Just curious if anyone here also uses this product for their HVAC business and if so what program do you use for your HVAC parts and fittings? Anyone in the Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska or Oklahoma area with one that I can come take a look at?

Yes, Wanabe gave you the right guy. Here is a link to a topic he started just for YOU!!!

HVAC . Pattern Development

From Time to time I create some less common sheet metal fittings for HVAC, I figured I’d start a topic to keep this information together. Any other Tinsmith’s out there? This first fitting will serve 3 functions: Plenum Take-off [PTO] 90 deg Elbow [Side-Elbow] Rising offset. [Riser-300x300] Some of these types of patterns make Fusion through a fit. We’ll start with a wildly hard layout, wish me luck. Starting at about 9AM pst. Oct 4 2023 [Videos of the Fusion CAD CAM for pl…

And one of the reasons he bought the XR was specifically for his HVAC work.

I bought an XR after I had the pro for a while so I could use it more for my HVAC business. I mainly only use it for custom fittings not production fittings. I’ll make small runs of this or that sometimes depending on the job. You could use any program that could export a dxf file or SVG file and use that with sheet cam. Myself I like Fusion and I’ve made a few different files that I use for drop cheek elbows or squared to rounds for example.

There’s any specific fitting you’re looking at tackling let me know.
