@jw200 JD's garage and myself believe it isn't necessary for most people. It's pretty expensive addition and you can get decent cuts without it. Hope that helps!

​@@barnbuiltbeaters Actually there are free schematics for this too online. Especially on russian forums. But I will not do it atm. I have to first start the cutter project and then think about height controller. I see you got pretty good cuts without it. Thanks for reply.

@jw200 my cut quality could have been improved. They were slightly beveled and a good amount of dross on the back. But sure beats cutting it out on the bandsaw!

@@Jbezley87 thanks!

@kitmaira im actually not sure what Langmuir uses. I want to say it is aluminum but honestly not sure. I Printed my JD's design on my Ender 3 V2 out of PLA+ and it has held up well. If it's in your budget I recommend upgrading to a Bambu Labs model. They work much better, work with any material with their provided settings. It makes 3D printing much more enjoyable. The Ender 3 is good to get started though don't get me wrong. Good luck on your build!

I’m thinking that buying the Bambu would be much more expensive than buying the printed parts. I get way too little use out of my Ender as it is. Still figuring out what I want to do. Thanks.

@kitmaira your Ender will be just fine for those parts!

@ivanyalamov5109 thanks for watching! No issues with Z-axis other than some slop at the end of the cantilever. For touch off, I believe their is a setting in fusion you need to check or a line in G-code you need to add. I haven't used it in months so unfortunately I'm not much help. There is a group on Facebook you can join and ask "3D Printed Budget CNC Plasma Builders", most are building JD's table.

@barnbuiltbeaters Much appreciated!

@@Maneviyatımız_ve_Değerlerimiz thanks!

Thank you so much! I need to be more consistent is my issue! it is hard as these things take a lot of time to do, film, and edit! Hard to make a lot of progress with a full time job and other responsibilites. Almost done with my compounds so a new video will be up in a week or two, I unfortunately got sick and doctors orders were no welding! Thanks for the sub!

That is a great question. I know when I registered my truck prior to taking it all apart, the guy used the VIN tag on the door jam. I suppose the worst case I can buy a junk frame from someone, cut the VIN out of the frame and weld it onto the new one. Not sure the legality of that but thats my first initial thoughts. I actually briefly looked over the original frame and was unable to find it. Could have been covered in grease though. I also have the Title.

@@skylumz yes very true!

Why is that? So far haven't used anything from GM yet. Silverado chassis probably would have been easier though, I believe they are flatter.

@@barnbuiltbeaters because I have one I want to swap something on 😁

@@dapetik do it! I did my entire swap with little prior fab experience! What would you.put on top?

@@barnbuiltbeaters 70s Ford club cab maybe

@dapetik sounds like it would be a cool project. I love a restoration but I more so appreciate a fab project. Do you have the 70s Ford yet?

@MrFlashHandy Nope the cab can stay put. The transmission crossmember can be removed just like stock. I don't have a lift so easiest method for me was to remove the cab and fab. once the cab is painted, I won't be removing it unless absolutely necessary

@wyattb3138 I honestly don't think so. I have a fair amount of time fabricating, wiring, and building and it took me a long time granted mine was a few hours a day. I would say over the course of 2 to 3 weekends is feasible. I highly recommend doing a gantry style over the cantilever design. I wish I had Good luck!

@@ericsmith-sx8xi Thanks! I spent a lot of time and money building it. I'm happy with how it came out!

After I welded I checked it with a straight edge and it was dead flat. I took my time with it, worked my way around stitch welding, just welding enough to hold it together not 100% penetration, and TIG'ed the entire thing as it heats it up less (and my only choice!). Hope that helps!

@barnbuiltbeaters yep,appreciate it! Forgot that tig welding isn't as hot!

@@Self.reliant I thought about doing that. Probably the way to go. Thanks for help!

@KenMayer-g7f i ran into the same issue as well. Let me know if you need help i may be able to assist!

Probably would have been easier with MIG but I dont have a MIG machine. Stick welding is farm welding imo. TIG is capable of anything which is why I learned it. Have yet to learn MIG but on my to do list!

@TheRoadhammer379 i just commented saying the exact same thing haha! Thank you I think it turned out well too. I've never done any large fabrication like this before so I'm pretty proud of it!

@TheRoadhammer379 yep I actually knew that! I believe those chassis are a bit flatter than the one I used. I didn't cut off any of the Ford body mounts either. It can be swapped back onto the original chassis no issue!

@OdiesGarage Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help!

@GroundedConceptsLLC yes for sure! I think I want to build another down the road using extruded aluminum. This will suit me for a while though!

@@tkiff7720 woof woof woof

@jeffjohnson5394 I totally understand that point of view and that's why I ended up building mine. The table is decent but I think I have to spend some time tinkering with it. I'd much rather be fabricating than tinkering. I would like to think the Langmuir is ready to rock out of the box. If I was to do it over, I'd either buy a Langmuir or build JDs table again but use extruded aluminum

Sounds like a cool truck! As cool as normal restorations are I love the unique projects even more! Why did you decide to go with the 78 frame? How did everthing line up? Any engine work done to the 12V?

@@barnbuiltbeaters Frame swapped my 2wd f100 30+ years ago, needed a 4wd truck for hunting. On a Ford the easiest way is to frame swap. The cab alignment was ok, the bed mounting width not so much. The f250 donor had twin Dana 60’s F/R and a T18/Np205. Kept the 390 in the f100, the rest running gear was from the 78. Hunted with that truck ever since, but the body is now really rough so last year decided to make it more presentable after the 390 flat spotted the cam, currently doing a frame off. (Started as a 12v swap!) A sane man would get another body, but too much history with it. The 12v is basically stock (governor/valve springs, pump turned up, etc), frame is now a roller again, all running gear of the new version is bolted in. Next will be body work, least favorite part…but it’s only going to be a driver!

​@@divadyrdnalwow sounds awesome and like a lot of work. I've done little bits of body work and it does suck. I wish I was better at it. I also want to learn to paint too!

@joetimmlv1 haha glad to get you stirred up! Huge improvement over the stock chassis in basically everyday. So might not be the best compared to Ford/GM but better than the original. Pros and cons to each manufacturer!

Well, if you know history, you'll recall the Dodge brothers made truck chassis for Henry way back when. They broke away from Ford and began producing their own vehicles. The early Dodge logos featured the Star of David. Now you know why Ford aligned with the Germans and hated the Jews. He hated Louis Chevrolet so much (OHV inline six) he refused to make inline six engines. When he did, it was an industrial flathead. Looks like we're coming full circle, 80s Ford body on 2000s Dodge chassis. The 12v Cummins and ZF6 will be icing on the cake...

@TonyJHughes-sf6zx thanks! Best looking truck ever made, in my opinion! Can't wait until it's done!

@barnbuiltbeaters your doing a great job im working on a 85 c20 to k20 conversion

@TonyJHughes-sf6zx that's rwd to 4wd right? I'm not too knowledgeable on chevys so forgive me! You should start a UA-cam channel! A lot of people would find that interesting and it's it's own challenge to film and work! My progress has been super slow recently which is why I haven't uploaded in awhile. Vacation, fabbed parts not fitting exactly how I want them, was having trouble with welding (small leak in shielding gas), house projects, and well life! Trying to get the next video out in a few weeks!

@barnbuiltbeaters I would not be a good UA-camr but yes 2x4 to 4x4

As much crap you give me I know you love it haha!

Start a channel for the Maro!

No hablo espanol, moy picante. Gracias! Planos es JD's Garage $20-25

Sounds like the exact pan I ordered. I made my table and then ordered the pan. Should have done it the other way around, smart!

You just have to prep your area and you'll be fine with TIG! Good luck!

I am using Fusion to generate the Gcode and then the normal grbl program. I think I selected dark mode which may be why it looks different?

I am sure you just saw they just released the THC but it is a pretty expensive option that many people probably dont need....maybe you do though. I think the budget friendly option is to build a duplicate Y axis (without the motor) which would keep everything level. The cantilever design is the worst part about the build...much more to be desired. I spent a good amount of time getting mine adjusted. If you tighten it too much, it wont roll. Go to that point and then back it off some. It will never be perfectly level, atleast not from my experience but has not affected cutting much. If you are like me, I do not need my cuts to be perfect, just close. A CNC plasma I use to speed up my fabrication process, not looking for perfection perfectly. Let me know if you need help, I am happy to try! Thanks for watching!

Oh man, traming that arm is driving me insane. I get a 5mm (1/4in ish) drop at the end, and I just can't dial it out. I'm combing yt looking for tips on how to deal with it. I might be adding a support rail...

@@timandrew4515 I found a video where someone added a caster wheel to the arm that rides on the table frame. I think for a quick fix this might work perfect. Havent used the table too much recently, so havent had the urge to fix it either! Let me know if you find a solution!

A few reasons actually! 1. Ram was the only truck manufacturer to offer coil springs both front and rear. I am thinking this would aid in ride quality 2. Because of the coil springs, the axles are already 4-linked (using that term as a general statement) 3. The axles are already proven to handle the torque of a diesel and that of modified Cummins. I am planning to build my engine up. Although most heavy duty trucks will. 4. Speaking of an engine, I wanted a 12V Cummins as the power plant and although a 12V was never installed in this year chassis, a 6.7 Cummins was and figured it may help with the installation process as 6.7 and 5.9 are very similar. 5. I never thought I would find this chassis (2018+ Ram 2500) that was affordable honestly. I managed to find this pretty local to me for a very reasonable price delivered. I never have fabricated like this before, and figured if I messed up shortening the wheelbase, at least I have the axles I could use or sell to make up the money I spent on the chassis. I realize some will not like it isn't on a Ford Chassis, and although that may have made it easier, I am pretty happy with how my build is turning out. Turns out a bunch of Dentside guys actually swap onto Dodge/Ram chassis, although typically 2nd gen chassis!

VBENLEM 32 x 30 x 2.5 Inch... www.amazon.com/dp/B07XP6ZN7N?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share FYI, The pan they recommend is nicer than the one. heavier gauge metal. Also note, this one has a drain hole, nothing you couldn't plug but be aware. Thanks for watching!

@@barnbuiltbeaters I put a 1/4 turn PVC valve on the drain hole with a 90 elbow pointing down. I drain the water into a 5 gallon bucket after every day of cutting. I do have to lift the pan a little bit to get some of the water out since there is a lip on the drain plumbing. Works great! I don't know what you would do if you didn't have the drain. I mean trying to dump the water without the drain would be a mess as the pan is fairly thin and weak, you have the supports in there and the X axis would be in the way when trying to lift it to drain it . . . love the drain! LOL HIGHLY recommend putting in a drain if you buy a pan without one. With that said, a bottom drain might be better than a side drain . . .

@glenrock672 the pan JD recommends is a lot nicer than the vevor. Much thicker gauge. I admit it'll still be a pain to drain though! Haven't done so yet!

@@barnbuiltbeaters Since I didn't get that one, I'll take your word for it, but it was $130 versus $85 . . . Being a cheap ars, I went with the Vevor! LOL

I thought about doing that but this seemed safer. Also got multiple use for moving the cab and taking the hood on and off!

I am still playing with speeds and plan on increasing as it has been helping a lot with dross. Thanks for the insight! Only one nozzle available for my Plasma (YesWelder CT2050) I believe. CNC does not have THC only z-probe. JD's Garage is working on THC but have not yet released it.

That's awesome! Let me know if you run into any issues! Thanks so much!

That actually isn't a bad idea! I have an Etsy shop where I have sold the digital files (3D print) to my Wheel and Tire Fitment Tool. I could sell this too. Would you be interested in the plans or just the physical tool?

That would depend on the price, very similar one is being sold for 200

@@barnbuiltbeatersdid you start making these?

@@DaFsPilot I put some effort into designing one but never followed through to completion. Are you interested?

Thanks! I am just using the stock Ram body mounts for simplicity sake!

This is a Dragway Tools 2 Ton Hoist. I bought it because it was one of the highest lifting hoists out there. It's great I'd buy it again!

It has been working pretty good for me! The 5" throat has gotten me a few times. Wish it was a bit bigger but I've just had to work around it. For the price, I can't complain too much. I have had blades break on me a few times. Not entirely sure why that is. I don't believe I am putting too much pressure tightening or pushing material through. I just swapped blade manufacturers and this blade seems to be holding up well. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the suggestion! I will look into it! I have done similar with pallets and casters!

That's a great idea! And simple! Will definetly be using this in the coming future

I do not envy you! Drywall is terrible! Mine isn't perfect but for a garage It is fine and honestly the seems you can see, aren't too noticeable. First time doing drywall so I'm happy! Good luck on your project!

Good luck! I'd imagine it'll turn out great!

Haha it was a little sketchy! I just made sure to take my time with it. What would you have used?

@@barnbuiltbeaters My cnc plasma table.

@tjs_welding_and_fabrication guess what the next video is going to be about haha! Just waiting on metal and every so slowly 3D printing parts for it!

@barnbuiltbeaters I have some vids on building my table years back. Best thing I ever did. I use it for just about every project I do.

@@tjs_welding_and_fabrication I will have to take a look at your vids! I am/will be building a JD Garage CNC table. Not having the budget, nor the need, for a professional table I figured this would float me by until I can upgrade in the future. I am assuming itll play a critical role in my build(s)

It is better then the original 40 year old chassis! Better then a new truck....probably not haha! Thanks for watching!
