Folks with plasma tables, help me make a final decision.
I’m on the cusp of ordering a plasma table from Langmuir. I’m looking at the base Crossfire system with the base Razorweld 45. I’ll definitely add the XL extension kit and water tray but am unsure about the need for the “Z” axis kit and limit switch options. Most of the cutting I’ll do will be ¼” or under. I’m also a hoarder of scrap materials, so I expect I’ll rarely be cutting from full-size, unused material (i.e., I’ll be trying to nest my parts in what material is left).
Being an old school AutoCAD guy, I can CAD out anything and have wanted one of these for more than a decade. I'm finally motivated to make it happen. FWIW, this system will be for hobby use, not commercial production.
Why my choices? I don’t have the shop floor space to upgrade for the Crossfire PRO. I don’t already have a plasma cutter, so ordering one with a regular torch handle (versus the machine torch) whereas not optimal for table use, affords me the option to use it as a handheld.
