CNC Plasma cutters, DIY, building info and guide

some pictures to go by.

not my idea but something i came across that was worth re posting here. it would not be hard to make a mold to make something like this for any torch or shape you wanted but it would not be as cheap as stealing one from an oil filter. so a cheap solution to a real problem with water tables. i think it was for hypertherm torches if i remember right.

Thank you for a lot of useful information!

Lol I saw this post eariler this morning when it had the link for futon mattresses,

jonsguide.org/best-futon-mattresses-review/

I mean really wtf is this guy thinking.

Edit: Checked the link and it does show plasma cutters which might be helpful even if he is pushing his products.

i remember coming across the editors choice and opted to see if they had a machine torch option for anything? i never did get a response back from them so i took that as a no. those reviews look manipulated honestly. if it was the ten best low end machines with hand torches it would make some sense but it;s not and looks like a marketing aid for self interests if anything. everlast was the only cheaper plasma cutting with a machine torch option and i think i seen some issues with the voltage divider board on the everlast machines if i remember right?

i would say duty cycles are a huge factor in deciding on cutting unit for a cnc table. if your doing full sheets and have a bunch of small parts and the cycle time is really long these cheap machines won't hold up if your able to cobble one together into a cnc system.

just my 2 cents on the subject.

How do you think one of those cheap machines would go with this? Its only 10mm thick so should be within the capacity but I think the duty cycle would be a problem.
