Bob's Plasmac Build

I'm sure this machine is being built by somebody who makes routers in his spare time!

Geez Bob! Have you checked the radial forces a single linear rail that size can handle?

I'm sure even one rail would have been overkill!

I will say its coming together nicely though!

Well, if the customer don't pay, then I'll put a spindle on it....lol

versatility never hurts. a spindle option or a machine torch option gives you two angles to unload the machine. i would have taken a deposit for material costs that was none refundable before i even thought about building something for a customer. but then i don't think that route is something i would do just because of liability issues. to many head aches that could happen.

OH, I got a 50% down payment before I even ordered anything.

As a business, you should have product liability insurance for that. Don't ask me what that cost me!

well yeah that is some protection but if you are not incorporated and don't have enough insurance then they can come after your personal property to get what ever else they are trying to get. insurance costs are high and lawyers have made a mess of things sadly. would be nice if people would just own up to the risks they take and not try to point the finger at someone else for mistakes on their part, but that's a whole other topic in itself
