Yes, we have a Torchmate II 4'x8' Table with a Hypertherm Powermax 1250 at the shop. We use it almost daily for shop projects as well as outsourcing for anything else. We actually do a lot of cutting of misc. things for people, some from previous parts, some from patterns. If you are good at drafting/drawing you can do things quickly and be cost effective. I have done cad work for 12+ years and can draw extremely fast, so I can draw and cut parts quick enough to not put people in sticker shock. It is usually faster and cleaner and less overall work for me to draw a part and cut it on the table than it is to do it be hand, even for one off's. I currently have over 150 parts on file that we use a lot of and can cut out at any given time.

They definitely change the way to build and design things, but have a pretty good learning curve to get them correct and running right. The other things to look at beyond the table is cost of the machine, building the table (ours was a bolt together version, but still have $500 worth of consumable slats) a lot of ventilation for when it is cutting, computer, machine torch, or hand torch, etc.
