3.5X1.5 Meters cnc plasma cutter

only half as much as you it seems wish i was excited like you off to see what i can mess up today for a while on my junk. thinking since i have 8 leveling casters it might not be a bad idea to use them all rather than just a set in the middle while i'm back to the drawing board

As always Tom, looking good.

The sign writing has come up well.

Did you use a single pack paint or a two pack? Enamel or acrylic?

looks pretty nice on both machines. paint is typical soft for a while even after it is dry. it takes a while to fully cure.

i can't even paint this time of year because it's to cold without heat. once you hit 65 degrees that's about the bottom limit for painting anything, metal temp is about 15 degrees below what it is outside so that complicates finishes as well.

i'm curious about the industrial enamel i'm going to be using once i get that far.hopefully it is something durable enough? I've never used the industrial grade before so hopefully it's not much different than the automotive type.

what ever type you have it looks good in a picture, hopefully it was used with some type of hardener? if you notice fingerprints getting in it that's soft paint which is normal for a while but if it still is something you notice after about 3 or 4 weeks then the paint could just be that soft in general and that would be something i would expect with no hardener in the paint system.

looks good regardless.

is this a fully asambled mashine or does it come as a Kit without welding

Tom,

Do you have any experience using large stepper motors on a large heavy plasma gantry?

If so how did you find their performance?
