    Bro., I'm in final design of my cnc plasma table right now. Your pain on cutting an inch off each sheet is real, but you helped me out just in time. I was going to do 48" wide. Fook that, now I'm going to 52" of travel on my head which will prob. have my footprint at 60" +. You saved me some real hassle bro. You ever roll through Nor. Cal. I'll do you right with a proper 'thanks'!

    How do you find your customers? I have all the equipment to make big bucks but I am having a hard time finding customers. I have heard lots of people say they started by selling to friends and their friends, but my friends don't want anything unless it's free

    @danonymous3907 3 роки тому +7

    So do you charge by square inch or how does that work?
    How thick of metal sheets can you cut?
    You said you were barely able to afford to put it together, roundabout how much do you think it would cost to build one like this?

    Great work! Tip to get slag off. Muratic acid. Dip signs in the acid over night and it will have a sand blast type finish and the slag will all be dissolved. Helps a ton

      @cranktowncity  3 роки тому +16

      That's how I've done it in the past, but having a big tub of muriatic acid sitting around my small garage proved to be a little bit of an issue hahaha

    I dig the idea of the water tank. Hadn't thought of that. I see a lot of plasma tables with gross looking water in them (seems they recommend changing it out once a year from what I've read?) and can only imagine what that smells like. lol

  • @michaelgrier4754
    @michaelgrier4754 Рік тому +1

    Great video thanks for posting. As I was watching I noticed you not only cut the inch off but you also cut it into 4ft sections. If you have the room to turn your plasma machine you could just feed the full 8ft sheet into the machine and have the excess rest on your sawhorses. Just an idea. Good job on the parts and the machine build!!

    I wouldn't waist that one inch of materials, just cut it in thirds first that should leave you with a 32 inch piece then just put the sheet the other way, you may have to change your program to landscape or portrait if the software has that property or just redefine your edges. Why waist 96 Sq. inches of material.
