I definitely will. The new addition to the shop should be underway soon, at which point Project #1 is finishing up this table build and getting it up and running.

Other than buying your steel locally, it's basically a two-stop process. One, Tom at CandCNC. Two, Ron at Precision Plasma. Tom manufactures and sells all the electronics you'll need, including torch height control, motors, etc. Ron makes the aluminum gantry, torch holder, etc. You build the...

Point taken about the 5th. Hopefully my point made it across nonetheless. From the outside looking in, I can see where it'd look like good service on their part, but that's not really the case. In the same thread on a different forum earlier today, the owner of said company really showed his...
