great video man! im 22 starting my plasma cutting business. it somehow turned into a headache rack, bumper and rock slider business lol. have you thought about selling on etsy?

Well done mate

For anyone worried about the cost of filing for your llc, you can generally do everything for 1/3 to 1/4 of the cost of filing services and it will basically involve entering the exact same amount of data. Go your your state's official"Secretary of State" (.gov) website and follow instructions there. Filing services are fine too if you don't mind slightly overpaying for convenience

GG on getting YT income, but do not; let the YT algorithm dictate your publish schedule. Do the content first, then publish Don’t let the publish date, dictate making “something” to appease the machine

👍🏻🤜🏻🍺

despite everything u went through, I loved your videos and we learned a lot from you. I live in Africa Rwanda and i had ideas to start such business since real estate is booming here and providing this service can be lucrative but the cost of owning this machine is still way ahead of my time and the knowledge u had building one i don't have it but if it was something possible i would have gave it a though. i have only 1500$ on my name and building it now also is impossible from what i leaned from your videos but i am still on for the general idea start this business since i see the potential it has. looking for investors to partner with will be the deal for me. So you did well educating us on your journey that is what i wanted to say, Thank u.

Loved your video; brilliant! I got a copy of your plan which will be so useful. Thank you!

Hello Do you have a THC installed?

I need a good welding table so bad...

What a cool way to have a budget friendly machine torch. I have a Lotos 5500 DCNC would this work for this

Thanks for leaving all of the mishapps in the video, that really helps people like me see the real world problem spots in advance. I'm a total new bee and will be making every mistake in the book, but may be able to avoid a few by watching real demonstrations with potential problems left in the video. Thanks for sharing.

I can't believe that there aren't more elegant solutions for touch height control.

Do your motors get hot, like 130 degrees F ? My bigger one gets pretty hot but I hear that can be normal.

I always wanted to make one, soon, hopefully. I like the aluminum piece

I like it

This is cool

I've been wanting to make one myself

Another factor that should be considered is that a commercial piece of equipment has resale value, whereas a custom build does not. At my age, I must consider this when making the build vs. buy decision as my family will be tasked with disposing of my tools and machinery when I'm gone.

Gday, fantastic video and very informative, much appreciated mate, cheers

Thanks to share your thoughts and experience, 🙏🏾 It’s very helpful💪🏾👍🏾 It dépend what are your expectations, I know the amount of the price of Langmuir is expensive but you have the security and peace, and this have no price when you WORK with it all day. Time is just si precious, we can’t buy it.. so 6 month is too much even you learned a lot !! I wish you good luck for your work, you are so motivated, and I appreciate it, I am pretty sure you will have suces 🤞🏾🤞🏾

Thanks for this video. I was wondering how much it cost. I bought the XR from Langmuir. Just waiting to finish running electrical to my shop so I can use it.

I was on this path for a year until I got a part time job that ended up consuming my life. Content creator building a DIY CNC gantry mill paying the bills as a handyman. It took four months to build the machine, another month to get it working, and then it sat because in using it I discovered that cheapening out on the bearing design had seriously limited it's accuracy to the point where I couldn't hope to produce anything worth selling. Scrapped it and started over on the design that I had wanted to build now that I had the income to afford the parts and the 3D printer to make them.... and my last update was about a year ago because my job has crushed my soul while making me dependent on a steady income and comfortable in misery. Literally the parts have been sitting there for a year in my shop waiting to be put together with just a little fabricobbling. Well, I still have to design the Z-axis, but I have the design in my head, it's just a matter of actually doing it in CAD and printing the relevant parts. THEN I am going to cut all the parts out of pink foam and cast them in aluminum. machine them, then replace any wood/plastic with metal, and tubing with solid 1045 ground shafting(sitting next to it still in the packaging). Well after I get grandpa's Logan Model 200 back together, but I genuinely am almost done with that one. I'm looking at building a plasma table like yours after I get the 10W diode laser engraver working(it's built, just needs the 3D printer electronics hooked up), and the multi-material 3D printer for prototyping ONLY. I plan to make powder-coated steel signs. I DON'T WANT a print farm, and am looking into outsourcing it to SLANT3D using their Etsy plugin. You're absolutely correct about simply buying a working machine versus building one. There is a catch - you have to be able to afford to buy the machine. I can afford to buy a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars in parts over the span of months. I CAN'T afford the up front cost or get a loan/credit. Point of all this rambling is that I kinda know what you're going through, you're doing better than I am (you have customers and a working machine), keep at it, I know you're going to do well.

Something else that has value, but you can’t put a price on; is KNOWLEDGE If you bought the Langmuir, you rely on the business for support as long as you have that unit. Since you built yours, you KNOW how it works forever!

Thank you for the drawings!!

Are you by chance putting out the spreadsheet with the links for your build anytime soon?

I recommend using a magnetic plasma holder just to be safe if the torch for some reason get stuck on a metal part it can broke and that part it’s 🤑

🤜🏻🍺👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If the maths aint mathing just know there was a span of 1.5 months that I was making this video... During that time i was updating the BOM with other parts... so the numbers aren't 100 percent accurate. but this will give you a very good idea of what you can expect when building your own!

That’s excellent work my friend. I also built the JD plasma table. After learning all the fails and trying to make it better, I ended up building an entirely new table. This CNC community is badass!

Great video, it´s important as a entrepeneur to see what advantages you have and how to take advantage of them, what is you degree, you sais you are a engineer and you are looking for make your own CNC machine, but how will you develop the system, i understand you could weld the structure and I will waiting for what i´t s coming, nice detail of addying subtitles, it gets a lot to understand what you are doing.

I saw another guy he made a mix with baking soda in the water to get the pH levels over nine so it doesn’t cause rusting maybe you can give that a try

I would never run a plasma cutter like this that close to wooden walls. That is a fire hazard waiting to happen, sorry to say. You should fire proof the wall with ceramic tiling, sheet metal or a layer of concrete.

I would be carefuil about the sparks burning and/or melting the belts... Perhaps you could add a metallic shield above the actual plasma tool? Or isolate the belts with some kind of metal tubing or glass tubing... or maybe polycarbonate.

I have mine built just like yours with the updated jd garage electronics unsure how to get both y motors in the program if you do put plans out I’d definitely buy them

Do you drain your air compressor tank often? I mean from the bung at the bottom of the air tank. I'd purge the condensate from there more often, and see if you're getting more life out of the water-trap/dryer.

What size is your able cut?

Hey there. Remember i was saying a power / speed calibration run? Well I couldn't find the videos I was looking for until, someone else I follow made this video XTool S1 40W - Best Diode Laser 2024? Let's find out - the hardwareguy posted Aug 29 Jump ahead to 4:45 in the video, where he creates a pattern grid, of specific speeds, powers, and if you do something like that on a variety of materials, you can refer to them as reference sheets, when you have to cut on that material again in the future

What type of plastic is it ?

Why does this video have only a thousand views?

What was the total cost for you to build the table?

Nice

What’s is your name of software you use for drawing

That’s what she said! (6:46)

Hopefully you don't let that wet air sit in the compressor tank for any longer than you need it! IF you leave it in the tank it will get rusted and can explode.
