    DIY 3D Printed CNC Plasma table based on JD's Garage plans

    Are you guys doing water tables? If you are have you narrowed down your rust inhibitors? I'm thinking borox, mold/algae killer and water.

    Everlast plasma cutters PSA...

    I just want to post this is little psa since there seems to be quite a few folks doing plasma cutters. I contacted Everlast a couple of days ago about upgrade the s45 torch clone to a machine torch for cnc use. I was quickly shot down and told that I would blow up my little machine and that...

    DIY 3D Printed CNC Plasma table based on JD's Garage plans

    I've been doing the wide open on the amps and adjusting the travel speed. I think this will mess with fine detail but be ok 90% of the time. When I trained on water jet and commercial plasma tables we would enter the material type and thickness and adjust the torch components and let it rip...

    DIY 3D Printed CNC Plasma table based on JD's Garage plans

    Since I'm in the same boat with you guys just a different design, how are you going about your feeds and speeds. I've doing test cuts for the last few days and trying to dial stuff in, but it's still a long process. I'm also encountering an issue where on large circles it has slight pause on...

    Fordkid's ADHD Fabrications

    I know I have posted to this thread in over a year😂, and I know it's probably got one foot in the ground but I have been doing stuff. The little Honda got a handful of miles this summer and a few complements even though it's far from done. I also brought home another Japanese bike. I found an 81...

    TIG Welding Aluminum - What Gives You The Most Issues?

    I think my issue with aluminum is the dabbing and lifting the torch process, I'm a fan of walking the cup and doing a lay wire. I do stainless for a living, I find stainless to be consistent with a puddle that seems slightly less fluid than steel especially when walking the cup which you don't...

    Building a DIY CNC Plasma Table....

    I don't know how wiring you have with the setup you're going for but these little connectors I got off of Amazon are pretty slick and they're cheap. You lift the levers slide your wire in and close the lever.

    Building a DIY CNC Plasma Table....

    Here's what I have so far, don't mind the mess it's small room with a lot of tools crammed in it. I'm working on the control cabinet right now. I have a little welding left and to form the cable trays at work and then it's a bunch of little hardware left to order.

    15th annual GJ Secret Santa!

    I'm glad you like it and it got to you on time. I had originally planned to make you a similar one out of stainless at work but we are so backed up I wasn't sure how long it would take for the waterjet department to get it cut.

    15th annual GJ Secret Santa!

    JGwinn knocked it out of the park on this one. A couple nifty little carry knives, never have too many, various scales and other tools. But the best is this 'How To Run A Lathe' book from south bend from the 40's. Seriously friggin cool.
