Thanks buddy. Glad you enjoyed it. Taking some time off at the moment for some big upgrades. Will have more coming out in the next couple weeks or so. Thanks for the comment!
This! This is the video I’ve been looking for! An actual step by step, how to, from idea to a cut piece of metal held in your hand. So many good videos out there, none as complete as yours, I finally cut my first piece, thank you, seriously, thank you!
This is incredibly helpful and will pass on to my students as the most straight forward video for explaining what fusion does in relation to a CNC plasma table.
I'm a high school small engine teacher. I bought a Crossfire for personal use and ended up bringing it in to my class to help with building student projects. I also run 3D printers, laser engravers, CNC lathes and mills. What machine and projects I'm working on varies from day to day so it can be hard to remember how setup each machine file every single time. When I want to cut on the Crossfire this is my go-to video. Thank you for making this video it saves me time and stress.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC thanks, this will be the first plasma table in the shop. A year ago I bought a desktop laser and one of the other employees purchased a desktop router. I run Lightburn, he uses EASL, and we have your help, so I think we’ll pick it up pretty quick. We going to run it with our Lincoln tomahawk 1000. I’ll keep an eye out for your next videos. Just hit notifications
Well done and so clear -- THANKS so much! Best short video I have EVER seen relating to link between Fusion360 and actual cutting in real life. Subscribed!
Loving the content!! I know it doesn't apply to much to this video, but your mix of humor and comedy balances well with the practical knowledge you provide. It would awesome to see a step by step video on how you do your cad work on multi-layered signs.
Awesome video had tried finding one like this for the last year or so had seen many with attempted it, but yours so far was the best… only question I would have is why you like and chose the CNC table that you did…ty
Good deal! I really like what Langmuir is doing as a company. They are designing and selling affordable machines for beginners and experts. Cost was the main reason i purchased my table and it was before i ever had a channel.
Thank you for the reply and sorry for the horrible grammar in my original post, speech to text can sometimes leave things garbled… I was assuming that price played the deciding factor, which I would think is safe to assume for most people getting into it. I plan to binge watch some of your other videos because I like your style and can hopefully learn a bit more about your machine and how you use it. Thank you so much for the quick reply. Your video has single-handedly rejuvenated my interest. Disabled and trying to find something to do as a hobby that can possibly make a little money on the side and my mind keeps going back to CNC metal/wood design. I recently am looking into enrolling in a certified drafting/CAD program. I come from a family of mechanical engineers and and can’t seem to shake it lol
@@joshlindemeier2434 sounds like its a good fit. I have had no major issues with that machine and ive had it for over 3 years. Laser engravers may be a good option too. I have lots of videos on both. Good luck with your decision and feel free to reach out with any more questions. You can email me too.
Great video , you exlpained very well . Now i watched it all ...Thanks I will be practicing while i'm waiting on my table. I still need info on ? earlier thanks
Fusion 360 is totally separate from the table. That is just the software that Langmuir recommends. A laptop is ideal and the software is free for personal use but after a year you will lose some features unless you pay for the subscription.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC And you can set the default unit to inch in Preferences>Default Units>Manufacture Great video Kyle! I've been using Fusion for a while, but still learned some things. Calibrate and Text On Path, to be specific. Thanks!
not going to lie this was a great how too , i tried playing with fusion to design some parts to send to a buddy to cut and all the other tutorials just left me more confused because they were using them for other applications , after watching this ill prob give it another go especially because i have been looking at getting the crossfire pro also , would be a great addition to my shop and my wife's side business . thanks for the info !
Around 13:50 or so, what's up with the green corners and strange green patterns in the circle?. I just got those recently and have no clue what they represent. Thx.
@Spicer Designs Yay can't wait. I finally took delivery of my tractor last weekend . We have snow so I got to play with the snowblower. I started rewatching your videos lol
😂 At 2:10 That threw me for a loop. I had to open my Fusion 360 and look because I could swear that I always selected TOP. Turns out it's the same XYZ orientation as when yours says FRONT. WTF!?!?!? 😂 Still really liking my LS CF Pro even after a couple of years now. Just got the limit switch kit, haven't installed it yet. MAKE STUFF!!!
@@SpicerDesignsLLC 🤣That's awesome. I didn't even know you could change that. Now I see how to do it but I think I'm gunna leave it alone... it works now... 🤣
New at cnc plasma cutting. I can't seem to get my XYZ axis lined up the same way as yours. When I have my Y at the top left, X at the bottom right and the z at the middle bottom. It has top showing front. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Yes. Go to preferences, general, then theres a box where you can select Z to be up. That should fix it. Another viewer shared that with me because i was having the same issue.
at 6:46 when you toogle the canvas off, your text is black when you hover. mine is green dotted lines then blue dotted segments (not even the whole letter) when I hover. nothing else works like the video from that point on. any help?
Sometimes when you explode text there are flaws in the transition. You have to zoom in on any letter thats not highlighting and look for flaws. Ill usually make a line across the letter to isolate areas to speed up finding the flaw. Then you have to delete that section of line and redraw it. Its hard to explain and i dont know why it happens. Maybe ill make a video on that.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC so I figured out what I did wrong. I still had it in construction. got all the way to the cut path and it only cuts an offset around the outside (in simulation). restarted F360 and did it again and I get the same thing.
so I figured out some of it. for the tool/torch setup I watched another video. they must have had a different version because on the cutter tab my Nozzle diameter and kerf width were opposite theirs. When I fixed the tool I am able to select the parts, however in Cutting/Geometry tab I have to select each part indiviual for some reason. but got it to work. Will have to see if it actually works on plasma now.
thank you so much, great video. I was using LazyCam but because I have Mach3 demo the lazycam would only generate 50 lines of G code and then it would stop (and that was annoying as hell). Using Fusion360 is much better
Hi there ! I love your videos and as a matter of fact I am using your "easy button tutorial" to get myself started or practised. I don't understand the letter removing part why I am not removing the unwanted section of the letters. I have gone over your video 1,000 times and still no luck! I guess I could use a different font but is there a trick I am missing? Thanks for your time!
Hi Kyle, I have just had some luck manipulating the line tool issue for making the e and a in EASY . Im not sure what my issue was but it took a long time to be able to remove the lines to open up the letters for a full look. I am just learning the Fusion 360 and thanks to you I do have a path to go on! Cheers
As far as I can see it appears I have to blow up the image to be able to manipulate the lines for removal . It seems to take a few toys but knowing what I am after is the difference maker. Thanks for your attention Kyle!@@SpicerDesignsLLC
hola. tengo un problema. Cuando va haciendo la trayectoria de corte, disminuye la velocidad al llegar a curvas y me genera problemas con el material por que lo quema demas. Como se podra solucionar para que siempre mantenga la misma velocidad?
On fusion 360, I was making a sign and I had one inch lettering and when I tried creating a tool path for it, it only did that for some letters. I even changed the lead in to .05 and it wouldn't work. What should I do?
Great video, I have a question, what are you using in the video is the Standart Version of Fusion right? With no extensions, thank you for the good content.
I’m super new new to plasma cutting ,I tried the easy button as well, followed all the steps but it’s showing backwards YSAE . But choosing BACK will show as Easy. When choosing FRONT my (Z) on the top left and my (x) on the bottom right, looking at your screen your (Z) it’s on the bottom left and your (X) bottom right .
I do have a video where I explain the orientation of the sketch plane. Im not sure what video it was but I would recommend watching all of our Fusion videos. Lots of good info and tips. Also check out the comments in those videos. Some of the viewers added some great pointers as well.
Best disclaimer ever: Don't worry, I'll be making more videos with stupid sh%t soon. ha You have certainly put a lot of time and effort into learning this setup and it shows! Well done! I foresee "lunch and learn" webinars in your future. haha
I'd like to save your vid in my Fusion 360 and plasma cut playlists but you don't have the button to. just the "share " one... could you check this for us please? this vid is very useful ! thanks !
I decided to play around with it myself and on mine when I have the XYZ in the same configuration you do it says TOP not Front. Not sure if I should worry about it or if that is just how the program is configured.
It would be real interesting to see you install a PA system on the Kioti. I just ordered a CK3510se cab and thought of doing it to yell at the kids to get out of the way or holler at the wife for fun. It would be a great way to let KeyStone Girl know it’s time for a cold one while you’re in the field!
Not sure what im doing wrong but when i run a simulation it doesnt cut the letters. Ive tried chain and face. Letters are exploded, shows when extruded. Any help is much appreciated!
I really like the way that you are explaining the operation for your 360 controlled Plasma cutter. Can you share what you are using for a plasma torch? Do you like it? If not what would you move to?
Im using the razorweld 45 amp that comes with the langmuir table. Its not the best plasma torch by any means but its done everything i need it to do. If i were to upgrade it would be the hypertherm.
Would you be able to do a video with a DXF file. I would like to see how you take a picture of say a moose in the woods and program it start to finish. I a bit of a slow learner lol
47 yrs in the welding trade welding all types of metals I think definitely had a factor in me not being able to retain any knowledge. Especially the time when the mechanics brought a piece that needed welding after they cleaned the grease off with brake cleaner. The moment I started welding on it the fumes were like mustard gas I lost my breath and had difficulty breathing.They took me to Emergency were I sat for about 6 hrs before being released
One suggestion for fusion is to use an online image to svg converter so you don't have to sketch over the original image. Other than that, great tutorial for cnc plasma cutting.
Thanks. I prefer making them from scratch. Ive noticed the trace tool create a ton of points. If i sub that file out to a fiber table, all the curved sections look choppy because its a bunch of tinny straight lines making up the curve. Could be the program i used. Any suggestions on a better software for that?
I've used vector magic with pretty good results. I think it also depends on the quality of the original image. I always use google and search for large images to get the best quality.@@SpicerDesignsLLC
if i set my box up in the right corner like you have with the word (front) facing me my Z is at top left .the Y is at the bottom left behind the box. my X is at bottom right. now if i change to the word (top) facing me my XYZ is just like yours. i am very green to all of this. let me know what i'm doing wrong
Mine used to be top too. Something changed and now its front. As long as your on the x and y your fine. Wether thats top or front. Don’t hesitate to ask. Ill do my best to help.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC hey thanks for all the the help and advice and your great videos. I didn't think it mattered but if you don't ask you don't know. Thank you
Here's a tip: you can actually set your Z axis to be the vertical axis. Click your user > Preferences > General > Default Modeling Orientation This is useful if you want to keep the model in the correct orientation. I use this for 3D printing all the time
Great video and everything works until I get to the geometry of the cutting tool. Even after selecting what I want cut, the simulation show cutting just a big circle (outside of the parameters I cut). In your video, your contour selection changes from “select” to “chain” but mine won’t. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot and resolve?
I only found a difficult button, will it still work....Good video and informative for sure. I've mentioned it before that I want a pro table but haven't been able to press buy it now. I have a 24x30 ft roof with 1 wall being my brick home. If I place a tarp over it do you think it will be safe to store outside. I live in South Texas so not much humidity compared to other states but that's holding me back. I doi have a vacant home that I want to remodel in the future will the living room work for this table?
Im sure the table would be ok under roof. The only thing i would worry about is moisture to the electronics. Its definitely better to have in a shop or garage.
I may have missed it, but how do you tell Fusion the cut order? I'd assume you want to do the letters first and then cut out the circle afterwards, I'm just not sure how you tell it to do that.
I'll check today and make sure. I also noticed that when following your video, my geometry in the program looks different than yours. I'm not sure why that is, but I'll check and make sure sketch is into a body. Thank very much for replying and trying to help. I greatly appreciate it.
@Spicer Designs Well did a plate with 4 holes and it still wants to cut out the plate first then the holes. Not sure if that's OK, just don't want the part falling through before the holes get cut. Also the sketch was made into a body, but still sam issue. What is your email and we can communicate that way if you don't mind?
I'm having the same problem- although my design is where I'm cutting letters out of an already shaped circle. I can't get the lead in to start on the inside of the letters ...
Ya theyre videos jump around a lot. Hard to follow. I just use a cheap 30 gallon husky. Its dont everything i need it to do. I have a video where i talk about all the equipment too.
@SpicerDesignsLLC Thanks for replying back. That's what I recently purchased too and it works like a charm. I'm amazed how crisp this plasma setup cuts. Not like laser, but good enough for what I want to do with it. Keep them videos coming. Great work!!!
Thank you one last question, do you ever cut stainless steel 1/8 thick does it worpt on you or is it better to just cut carbon steel? Thank you in advance love yall guys channel!
@@josecontreras8099 i have only cut mild steel. Once i get the shop set up better i will start stocking some other material. I would imagine its somewhat comparable to mild steel.
What Fusion 360 are you using? Im using the free version and for the orientation of the axis shown at @2:11 I have to use "Top" and not "Front". Unless I am missing something? Total newb here
I am having a problem making the easy button a body. it says its a body but when I try to do the geometry creating a tool path it does not let me just click on the image to see my tool path. I am so close but cannot get past this step to generate tool path and code, nWhat am I doing wrong
How do I send that file I watched the video and followed along step by step. I have exact same equipment as you. everything was great until I got to 2d profile it looked nothing like your screen it would not let me just click on the body. So I was unable to go any farther. Any help would be greatly appreciated.@@SpicerDesignsLLC

Keep going smaller on your lead in. These plasma tables dont like small detail. Decreasing the lead in should do it

Best disclaimer ever: Don't worry, I'll be making more videos with stupid sh%t soon. ha You have certainly put a lot of time and effort into learning this setup and it shows! Well done! I foresee "lunch and learn" webinars in your future. haha
Hey thats a great idea!
I love the YEE YEE in the background man!! @GRANGER SMITH
Thanks ! I have a build video of me making it. Its pretty entertaining. I was trying to get it to him but hasnt worked out.
I'd like to save your vid in my Fusion 360 and plasma cut playlists but you don't have the button to. just the "share " one... could you check this for us please? this vid is very useful ! thanks !
Huh. Thats weird. Ill check into it
@@SpicerDesignsLLC it works ! thanks ! have a nice day !
I decided to play around with it myself and on mine when I have the XYZ in the same configuration you do it says TOP not Front. Not sure if I should worry about it or if that is just how the program is configured.
Your right. It got switched in that video somehow and its wrong. It should be on top for the z axis. I changed it back immediately.
It would be real interesting to see you install a PA system on the Kioti.
I just ordered a CK3510se cab and thought of doing it to yell at the kids to get out of the way or holler at the wife for fun.
It would be a great way to let KeyStone Girl know it’s time for a cold one while you’re in the field!
Hah. That would make a great video.
Not sure what im doing wrong but when i run a simulation it doesnt cut the letters. Ive tried chain and face. Letters are exploded, shows when extruded. Any help is much appreciated!
Can you email me a short video and email me the dxf file. I can take a look at it for you
@@SpicerDesignsLLC awesome! Will do, thanks!
@@SpicerDesignsLLC thanks again! It was the lead in distance in case anyone else was wondering.
I really like the way that you are explaining the operation for your 360 controlled Plasma cutter. Can you share what you are using for a plasma torch? Do you like it? If not what would you move to?
Im using the razorweld 45 amp that comes with the langmuir table. Its not the best plasma torch by any means but its done everything i need it to do. If i were to upgrade it would be the hypertherm.
Would you be able to do a video with a DXF file. I would like to see how you take a picture of say a moose in the woods and program it start to finish. I a bit of a slow learner lol
47 yrs in the welding trade welding all types of metals I think definitely had a factor in me not being able to retain any knowledge. Especially the time when the mechanics brought a piece that needed welding after they cleaned the grease off with brake cleaner. The moment I started welding on it the fumes were like mustard gas I lost my breath and had difficulty breathing.They took me to Emergency were I sat for about 6 hrs before being released
One suggestion for fusion is to use an online image to svg converter so you don't have to sketch over the original image. Other than that, great tutorial for cnc plasma cutting.
Thanks. I prefer making them from scratch. Ive noticed the trace tool create a ton of points. If i sub that file out to a fiber table, all the curved sections look choppy because its a bunch of tinny straight lines making up the curve. Could be the program i used. Any suggestions on a better software for that?
I've used vector magic with pretty good results. I think it also depends on the quality of the original image. I always use google and search for large images to get the best quality.@@SpicerDesignsLLC
Do you think a 20 gallon 175 psi air compressor would work?
Hard to say. I have a 30 gallon 175psi. It works and seems to keep up. Im sure it would get you but until you could upgrade
What consumables are you using?
if i set my box up in the right corner like you have with the word (front) facing me my Z is at top left .the Y is at the bottom left behind the box. my X is at bottom right. now if i change to the word (top) facing me my XYZ is just like yours. i am very green to all of this. let me know what i'm doing wrong
Mine used to be top too. Something changed and now its front. As long as your on the x and y your fine. Wether thats top or front. Don’t hesitate to ask. Ill do my best to help.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC hey thanks for all the the help and advice and your great videos. I didn't think it mattered but if you don't ask you don't know. Thank you
Here's a tip: you can actually set your Z axis to be the vertical axis. Click your user > Preferences > General > Default Modeling Orientation
This is useful if you want to keep the model in the correct orientation. I use this for 3D printing all the time
Thats how it was forever and it changed on me. Ive since changed it back with the z axis up like your saying. Thanks for the pointer!
how many amps do you have your machine set to cut 14 gauge steel?
I think its on 30-35.
Great video and everything works until I get to the geometry of the cutting tool. Even after selecting what I want cut, the simulation show cutting just a big circle (outside of the parameters I cut). In your video, your contour selection changes from “select” to “chain” but mine won’t. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot and resolve?
Did you ever figure out a solution to this?
I only found a difficult button, will it still work....Good video and informative for sure. I've mentioned it before that I want a pro table but haven't been able to press buy it now. I have a 24x30 ft roof with 1 wall being my brick home. If I place a tarp over it do you think it will be safe to store outside. I live in South Texas so not much humidity compared to other states but that's holding me back.
I doi have a vacant home that I want to remodel in the future will the living room work for this table?
Im sure the table would be ok under roof. The only thing i would worry about is moisture to the electronics. Its definitely better to have in a shop or garage.
I may have missed it, but how do you tell Fusion the cut order? I'd assume you want to do the letters first and then cut out the circle afterwards, I'm just not sure how you tell it to do that.
Fusion will process that automatically but you can enter it manually if you have a certain preference on that cut.
hey Kyle, what thickness of steel did you use for that button?
14 ga mild steel
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Thanks man
Chop, chop…let’s get back to making videos! In all seriousness, hope all is well and you are just busy with making some great contact.
Hah. Im on it. Working on editing right now. Back in the game!
I can't seem to get my cuts to start on the inside. It always cuts the outside first.
Did you make your sketch into a body? There are a couple setting you can mess with in the cut path settings.
I'll check today and make sure. I also noticed that when following your video, my geometry in the program looks different than yours. I'm not sure why that is, but I'll check and make sure sketch is into a body. Thank very much for replying and trying to help. I greatly appreciate it.
@@holdemking6969 you can always email me too and i can try to help you through it
@Spicer Designs Well did a plate with 4 holes and it still wants to cut out the plate first then the holes. Not sure if that's OK, just don't want the part falling through before the holes get cut. Also the sketch was made into a body, but still sam issue. What is your email and we can communicate that way if you don't mind?
I'm having the same problem- although my design is where I'm cutting letters out of an already shaped circle. I can't get the lead in to start on the inside of the letters ...
Are those table slats modified?
Yes. They are a pointed slat. And i removed an 1/8 off the point so it would not scratch material as bad.
Thanks for doing this video. So much easier to follow then the crossfire videos. By the way, what size air compressor are you running?
Ya theyre videos jump around a lot. Hard to follow. I just use a cheap 30 gallon husky. Its dont everything i need it to do. I have a video where i talk about all the equipment too.
@SpicerDesignsLLC Thanks for replying back. That's what I recently purchased too and it works like a charm. I'm amazed how crisp this plasma setup cuts. Not like laser, but good enough for what I want to do with it. Keep them videos coming. Great work!!!
Hey bro what do you use to clean you machine?
I just whipe it down with simple green
Thank you one last question, do you ever cut stainless steel 1/8 thick does it worpt on you or is it better to just cut carbon steel? Thank you in advance love yall guys channel!
@@josecontreras8099 i have only cut mild steel. Once i get the shop set up better i will start stocking some other material. I would imagine its somewhat comparable to mild steel.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC thank you!
What Fusion 360 are you using? Im using the free version and for the orientation of the axis shown at @2:11 I have to use "Top" and not "Front". Unless I am missing something? Total newb here
Top is right. Thats what its supposed to be. Mine changed on me somehow and ive since changed it back. The z axis should be facing up. So your good
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Wow fast reply thank you kind sir for teaching an old dog new tricks.
@WDMtea i try! And no problem. If you have any questions ill do my best to help.
I am having a problem making the easy button a body. it says its a body but when I try to do the geometry creating a tool path it does not let me just click on the image to see my tool path. I am so close but cannot get past this step to generate tool path and code, nWhat am I doing wrong
Can you email me the file? I can take a look and see what the issue is for you.
. @@SpicerDesignsLLC
How do I send that file I watched the video and followed along step by step. I have exact same equipment as you. everything was great until I got to 2d profile it looked nothing like your screen it would not let me just click on the body. So I was unable to go any farther. Any help would be greatly appreciated.@@SpicerDesignsLLC
@@LouTaylor-e3d can you screen record it and send it to me? Its hard to say without seeing it.
how do I email you the file@@SpicerDesignsLLC
How did you download the post processor for MacOS? I can’t figure it out for the life of me
Ill have to make a video for that. Ive had a couple people ask about it. Give me a couple weeks or so and ill try to get something uploaded.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC that would be rad
