We Build a CNC Plasma Table!

Is that the XL or the Gen 2.0?

Rust proofing - Go to your farm store, get some milk Stone remover / cleaner. Phosphoric acid based, not sulfuric acid based, and you can 'pickle' the steel, so it won't rust by brushing it on It is acidic so use proper ppe. Cheap.

I’ve been following the same series. Really want to try it out, but I currently don’t have the room for one in my shop. Still might try to figure it out. I notice yours is on wheels. That would be a plus.

I’ve been putting off building a cnc plasma cutter for years. After seeing this I may have to move it up on the to do list. I have a Bambu Labs X1 Carbon and a lot of experience with ESP 32’s. But I think my plasma cutter is hi frequency start😂. Thanks for helping spend my money….
You’ll find countless ways of using the 3d printer and when your wife asks you to make something, it’s all the justification you need. Great video.

I’m digging the airport grade man glitter receptacle.

Great build!! Im planning on building the XL version of their table. One question… would you provide links to the Canadian Amazon site for the material you purchased? I’ve had some issues locating the right material. Thanks!! Again, thanks for the video and great build. 🙂👍🏻

Brilliant work😊😊

I've built this plasma cutter table. It is physically complete as to the mechanical elements. My wiring is only as far as the controles mounted in the box and wired together. My shop burned down and i needed something to do last winter so i built it in my bedroom in the house. Ill have to partially disassemble it to get it downstairs and out to the shop ( once it is done ) . I was unaware there were updated plans. I have not been getting notices of new videos. I JUST found out there is a larger version now available. I've ordered those plans as well. Your video has made me aware of the revisions on the electronic which makes me wonder if i need to change the board. I am NO wiring expert ( which explains why it isnt done )

That looks like a very useful shop addition. 3D printers are pretty handy to have too, although I don't have one yet. My son and his friend took a broken fan blade from a nice older, made in USA belt sander and were able to print a new fan because parts were long since unavailable. It should be said though that my son also broke the fan. Seems like one of these items would be a good Christmas present to myself!

Brilliant video, I'd like to see it in more detail, if you ever fancy a re-edit. I ended up cheaping out and getting an HF plasma so my DIY CNC has all the electronics battery powered and inside a metal faraday cage enclosure.

👍👍😎👍👍

Super timely, as I have just been looking at their new XL plans. I believe I'll build that one early in the new year. Hopefully I won't catch my shop on fire.

I used a Hitbox non-hf plasma cutter for mine. Was $150 on eBay. Just had to adjust my torch on delay up a bit and have had no interference yet. Almost bought the real Langmuir Crossfire but glad I didn't in the end

The arduino, you flashed over / erased the arduino bootloader. If you have an AVR programmer, you can re-flash the bootloader and it would be back to being an arduino. It's no big deal, but you need an AVR programmer - they're only a few dollars on the usual places these days

I have plans like that.

Congrats!

Very interesting and informative video, thank you. I bought JD's plans many, many years ago but never put the machine together. I subscribe to JD's channel and bought the updated plans too. You never know, I might just find energy and build it! LOL!! Thank you again for the video.

Nice work. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎
