New build, small plasma that got to be very complicated build.

Sorry, but i had to change the designation of this machine, changed the head so now it is an engraver for making pictures on Granite, Marble, Stone, Glass, Plastic, Wood, whatever with a hard surface as it uses diamond tips spinning at 30000 RPM.
Came up nicely. Just ned to bend some plastic for the Z axis cover.

Most probably by tomorrow this time it will be gone and in a week it will look dusty!
Moving on to the next project........whatever that might be, maybe a cnc plasma tube cutter ? Have not done one of those in over a year.
Regards,
Tom.

that is always a sad time if you build some weeks on a beleved very good mashine and then it goes out the shopdor without a simple cut done

This one did no cutting, but it did some nice pictures on black Marble ! And they look even better on black Granite, marble (this that i am using) has a lot of quartz and silicium so not the best canvas.
Here is a video of it during testing and tuning, so not yet at the best it can do. Now it does even better pictures with more details.

Tommy, can you explain how the engraving head is set up?

Will start a new topic about it, it's about time.
