Here is the cost breakdown for this build. There may be some additional items that have to be purchased here and there, but this will be the bulk of it. Note, the CNC package I bought was a fairly sophisticated model that uses no pin based output. It works 100% from ethernet jacks on the...

@Kazlx, I'm using a Hypertherm Powermax 45, with the hand torch unless I find a smoking deal on a machine torch. @Doug, I'll be posting a detailed cost breakdown of all the components soon, just have to add some recent entries to my spreadsheet.

I've been working on building a hobby plasma table for a month or two and thought it might be fun to document the build as I go. I skulk around enjoying everyone's content here all the time, so I figured it's about time I provide some. I've always been interested in CNC (I mostly work with...

Thanks for the responses. The tube is clear and their is a strong pulse of air coming out of the bottom outlet, the top outlet has a push pull air flow that goes along with the cylinder. Maybe there is too much crankcase pressure and it is flowing it up into the top of the cylinder head where...

I forgot to post pictures... might help. The line I'm talking about is the black one. On, Motor Hangs Off, Motor has no problem

I've got a 5hp air compressor that is doing something strange. There is a line running from the crankcase up to the top of one of the cylinders. I don't exactly know what exactly the line is for. I thought maybe it was some sort of top oiler, but there is no oil in the line and its not...

Thanks so much for the help. Now I can move forward, but before I haul off and purchase a new starter, overloads, enclosures, etc., I just want to make sure I can't just by uprated heaters like...

Hi all, I've been researching and putting components together to change a three phase air compressor over to 1 phase. Plan: I've purchased a 1 phase, 5HP compressor duty motor, 23-21 FLA rating. Now, the compressor came with a mag starter and overloads that are obviously too small for...
