I can understand your disappointment but I think exactly the opposite.. and that's a compliment for this awesome machine. Everyone can theoretically make everything (whatever you call your home) but it takes patience, knowledge and a strong will. I like people pushing their limits, learning how to built their dreams even if it's hard and they allways succeed at last. You won't if you keep on looking it your way, sorry for saying.
Nicely done! You've thought of solutions to all common annoyances with these machines. I really like the refillable tank! It has the added benefit of allowing you to clean it out regularly, too.
Both, lead screw for Z. Pulley and Belt for X and Y. Hard to give details to others espacially since this machine is built in metric measures. Try to collect as much info from the internet as possible. Thats the way I did it. :-)
This is the best homemade cnc plasma cutter I found on the internet . Very good job. I what to make one and use some of your ideas. Can you give me the plans of the cnc? Thanks for your time.
usually in the same way that knowing how to use a backhoe brings you work, most often a neighbor will want something made, or you'll be approached by someone about taking on a contract. usually this comes about just by spreading the word that you are capable, however it's not very hard if you advertise to start doing this full time with the right environment. if all else fails build cars, motorcycles, and anything else that moves.
Dammm man, i just ensamble my first cnc Dremel 30x30cm, and a bit frustrated cause by adjustemt fail around 1mm or less in one axis, and saw this monster UFFF, U have the gear, i hope you start to do anithing whit these. dont stop to make stufff!!! congratulations
@ps50k0 Hi, thanks! The main Frame ( blue ) is made with 60 mm x 60 mm Steel tubing and 80 mm x 40 mm Steel tubing. The Gantry is mainly made of aluminium profile, like all the other connecting parts are made out of aluminium. Llightweight rocks ;-)
The laser "cross hairs" is a magnificent idea. All my machines will have those from now on. Nice machine! I'm not hearing or seeing any backlash or slop. Very fast. Awesome! I'm sometimes jealous of people that don't have to worry about torque on the cutterhead. :)
very nice work, mind sharing the details of the job till completion. eg a parts list complete prices,schematics of the drawing layout and code to run the whole set up?
rad machine, sir ! hats off to you ! i noted though that when you were cutting that sign out for your shop that your water table wasn't in place apparently.. hope there is plenty of dust and smoke ventalation if not... :)
Hi, I know this is an old video and you have answered many questions, so forgive me for asking just a couple more. It appears that that the gantry is only driven on one side and that it is triangulated to avoid deflection, it is an elegant approach. Did it cause any issues? Also, were the supported 20mm rails an issue in terms of keeping them clean and rolling smoothly? Would you do anything differently if you built it now? Thanks
@BoostedRT hmm these are different motors X Axis is 60mm (3 Nm) motor which should be enough. The torch is controlled relay switch connected in parallel to the switch from the hand held torch.
First congratulations on the job as spectacular, one thing is not having the machine already? I am following your videos but has not uploaded any more waiting ...... most amazing videos like this ......
i also have a hypertherm plasma cutter and i also want to make a cnc table for it. i see that you are using the hand torch as the cutter here. so i am wondering if you had to make any modifacations to the cutter itself to get it to work without having to buy the machine torch? thx
@ps50k0 Hi, alu profile is 45x45mm The size of the round ball bearing is 20mm Size of the linear bearing is 25mm I don´t use this machine professionally I do have a Maho 600 mill.
As a helpful hint, If you read the plasma manual, or visit Hypertherm's website, you will find that all the cutting in this video was performed backwards. Best quality plasma cutting, due to the clockwise swirl of the gas, is achieved when interior features are cut counter-clockwise, and exterior features are cut clockwise. Give it a try, and see how your cut quality improves.
Nice build, would have been coo too look over the equipment specks... you have a lot of speed, so.. what stepper motors did you go with? What is the granularity of movement? ex: 0.001mm over 100mm, etc? What bearing sets are you using? How much backlash is your kit dealing with? Werkstatt was not enough to lookup your shop online. I wonder if you even review these comments anymore?
You should post what kind of plasma machine your using. are you using a inductive start ... reg hf start or..Blowback start starts arc without the need of High Frequency .
@EDOsVIDEOstudio Thx for the answer, I really like you design, I can see you thought things well trough. Few more questions if you don't mind. What size is the alu profile for the gantry? 45x45mm? What size is the round bar linear bearing? 20mm? What size is the linear bearing on the gantry? Do you use this machine professionally? Btw nice lathe in background. Do you also have a mill?
Hello, could you help me to setup touch n go function on plasma table? I have a touch sensitive switch, but I dont know which input to choose in mach3 for this swithc? How to configure everything to make it work
Very nice video, why did you choose the odd shape for slats? Those are going to be difficult to replace in the future arent they? What are you using for the THC?
Very nice, how much power does it consume for this material? Would this cutter head be applicable for cutting Fiber Cement Boards up to 3/4 or even 1", The material is able to be cut like wood but really is very abrasive and if cut this way (ie, router) creates huge amounts of dust, Your experienced opinion is valued
Plasma cuts just about anything metallic/conductive, I have made fabrics conductive by soaking in a conductive medium for cutting but the results are never as good as other means. Also, rocks will explode when heated that rapidly, if there are tiny tiny stones in the cement, you run the risk of micro bursts, that's not counting how or how not flammable the fiber is. Good luck. Maybe try a dust collection system or something like a wet tile saw?
For cement board (and also stone), you would be better off using a water jet system rather than plasma. Plasma is amazing for ferrous metals but I would not try to use them on materials that don't melt.
Hi! Nice job! Very impressive! What did u use for gererating g-code? Because this is not a cnc plasma cutter just a normal plasma cutter. At first u have to touch the metal after u need a few mm-s gap. I would like to try it too:)
I was just asking because most just go with long pieces of flat stock that they arch across so they are easy to replace. And you are doing pierce/cutting height control manually then?
I've a touch plate on my CNC mill which is straight forward. This seems run a similar macro each time the z-axis lowers. Post G-code processing required to add this macro? On long cuts its not going to touch off so will crash if the metal warps?
Hallo, eine sehr schöne Maschine die ihren Job wohl sehr gut erledigt :-). Können sie noch ein paar Daten bezüglich ihrer Hardware angeben. Ist die TripleBeast direkt am Parallelport oder haben sie ein Interface dazwischen? Welche Motoren wurden verbaut und welchen weg legen die Achsen pro Umdrehung zurück? möchte mir eine ähnlich schnelle Maschine Bauen.
Hi, theres a special screen for mach3 which is calles plasma screen. Try to get this version of mach3 there are already a lot plasma functions integrated. The touch probe is working by an macro. I am not yet using THC so I don´t need any analog signal. Regards
What brand of plasma cutter is that? Mine is a Over priced matco tools 110v, that I don't think could cut like that. One day I might have someone look at it, it blows out easy.
whats the secret behind mach3 and plasma-cutting. can you give me some information about it? because i want to build such a machine too, i already made some cnc mills. for it would be interesting, how your touch-mode is working. are you using an analog signal from the plasma-cutter to controll the distance between material and cutter while cutting? regards!
Your machine is incredible! I am starting a CNC project and i don't know how begin. Can You help me? Can You send me some informations about Your Project? Motor specification an software that i could use for it? Thanks
Hallo, habt ihr die Zahnriemenscheiben extra gelagert, oder nur auf die Achsen der Schrittmotoren fixiert? Welche Baugröße haben die Schrittmotoren? Was habt ihr da genau für Linearführungsschienen verwendet? Echt schicke Maschine, würde mir auch gefallen :)

the lasers do make it MUCH easier to set your X,Y zero (datum) to define the stock. super cool build. job well done.
Hast du geil gemacht! Respekt!!!!! So eine Maschine fehlt mir noch in der Firma.
Nicely done! You've thought of solutions to all common annoyances with these machines. I really like the refillable tank! It has the added benefit of allowing you to clean it out regularly, too.
This is T-1000 of the cnc plasma cutters... Amazing.
Very nicely done. I like how fast it is when it's moving to the next cut point. Hell, cutting speed is fast!
You either are nuts or you have some serious skill, or maybe a combination of both. Awesome machine dude!
That is a hell of a piece of machinery you've got there. Well done.
Both, lead screw for Z. Pulley and Belt for X and Y.
Hard to give details to others espacially since this machine is built in metric measures.
Try to collect as much info from the internet as possible. Thats the way I did it. :-)
This is the best homemade cnc plasma cutter I found on the internet . Very good job. I what to make one and use some of your ideas. Can you give me the plans of the cnc? Thanks for your time.
Reminds me of the gold days when we used plotters to plot. Same technology used in program.
It has nice smooth movement. I really want to make a cnc table for my powerplasma cutter.
someday I will build something like this, someday.
Luis Fernando How is going?

I'd love to have this setup for my PowerPlasma cutter. Great project you have there!
I proudly want one! Very nice! Every metalsmiths dream machine!
I like your laser-lines Trick.good job
Класс!мы с котом и попугаем тоже такое умеем...вот лет бы 30 назад...
very nice set up! we have a arclight table but i want to build another one for home use. like to see more about how you set the laser set up .
rad machine, sir ! hats off to you !

Nice work! I hope to finish my build someday.
How you fix light it's awesome idea ,, I need clear view of light were you fix in machine
@BoostedRT hmm these are different motors X Axis is 60mm (3 Nm) motor which should be enough. The torch is controlled relay switch connected in parallel to the switch from the hand held torch.
@mejser it´s car radiator coolant.
doesn´t burn doesn´t become moldy etc...
First congratulations on the job as spectacular, one thing is not having the machine already? I am following your videos but has not uploaded any more waiting ...... most amazing videos like this ......
seriously good work man!
I dont get why people made 28 dislikes...
I like it. It looks like it is better than my Torchmate 2X2.
Sir pls guide, how i made it without thc?
Thanks to share this information . What are stepper motors that you use and driver cards ?
how much will it cost to build one like this?
Jim Jose pmumhajdar
OHHHhhhh! That is bad ass squared! I want to build one of those for my shop ASAP!
Good job!
Can you provide plans for this machine, pls?
Sure, first thing tomorrow morning.
Amazing for 2000 EU. It moves really well
that cnc is really quick
Wow, looks and works wonderful, i'd love to build a machine like that!
i also have a hypertherm plasma cutter and i also want to make a cnc table for it.

It´s car radiator coolant. ( not corrosive etc.... )
Water would work aswell, with some disadvantages...
With that kind of speed you can modify it to be a "pick and place" machine as well (if you have a need for that)
looks like you might need to add a slight delay for the pierce (depending on the thickness of the material) before your torch starts to move?
hello friend this is simply liquid used is water or a special liquid to help in cutting
thank you
Very, very impressive! Nice work, wish I was as talented as you to build this unit.
You should post what kind of plasma machine your using. are you using a inductive start ... reg hf start or..Blowback start starts arc without the need of High Frequency .

Wow!!! Excellent work sir!!!
Very nice video, why did you choose the odd shape for slats? Those are going to be difficult to replace in the future arent they?
What are you using for the THC?
awesome machine! What size tubing is the frame?
What is the gantry frame made of?
Seriously brilliant CNC lots of nice handywork :)
you built a incredible machine but how about installing a float switch on you water table instead of holding a fill button
hello friend, very good you machine, one question what type of motors using
sorry my ingles is bad
Excellent video, how use the sensor of touch the torch? or only is programation of codigo G
Richtig cooles Teil. Hätte ich auch gerne in der Garage stehen! :) Wieviel hast du da ca. investiert? Und was bist du von Beruf?
Lg
Very nice!2000 is too low for such a quality made machine.
What hardware stores did you buy from?
Do you have a build thread on a forum or blog we could read?
Very nice, how much power does it consume for this material?

wow, cool homemade plasma cutter, was it cheaper to go and make it yourself rather than buying one complete
Esta muy bueno tu trabajo...que programa usas para controlarlo?
Very nice! I like the coolant tray too!!!
That machine of yours is both a beauty and a beast! :D
how do you handle the fluid? get the slag out via filtering and reuse the fluid or? dump it to the sewer?? haha.
Do you have a build or walk trough bid that explains how you built it and the parts used?
what is the cost ?
I was just asking because most just go with long pieces of flat stock that they arch across so they are easy to replace.
And you are doing pierce/cutting height control manually then?
it looks like you use any torch high control, does it?? really good work!
awesome job... looks great, I like the laser sights idea.
this looks so good. how much did the whole thing cost?
I've a touch plate on my CNC mill which is straight forward. This seems run a similar macro each time the z-axis lowers. Post G-code processing required to add this macro? On long cuts its not going to touch off so will crash if the metal warps?

how to turn on /off the plasma?i want to convert my diy cnc router to plasma without THC.THANKS
Nice! Why z goes down and up before vector cut?
is there any forum or website that has some info on building one of these? id love to build one...maybe a few
Hi,
theres a special screen for mach3 which is calles plasma screen.
Try to get this version of mach3 there are already a lot plasma functions integrated.
The touch probe is working by an macro. I am not yet using THC so I don´t need any analog signal.
Regards
did u used one linear guid bearing on the x-axis and one on the y-axis?
what is the material of water table that be used?
What brand of plasma cutter is that? Mine is a Over priced matco tools 110v, that I don't think could cut like that. One day I might have someone look at it, it blows out easy.

Hi Phillip, Do you use two stepper motors on the Y-axis. If not, do you have any distortion or canting across the main bar.
Loved this machine, are you using rack or belt to drive Y and X axis? Can yoy share the plans? Thank you
Did anyone ever answer you? Will this setup work with an Everlast PowerPlasma plasma cutter?
Super Arbeit, kann ich die Baupläne für die Anlage bekommen? Ich will mir auch so einen Cutter bauen
I am jealous. I want this this. Great work.
very nice piece. congrats
Hello, excellent solution, where I can copy the macro, I have a router and I want to work with plasma and I can not run the Z axis as you did, thanks
Looks awesome!
Any recommendation for others wanting to build their own?
I must say every time i see this i keep saying "that is a bad ass machine" good job man, Have you finished it yet?
im wondering what are the costs of that homemade cnc..
VERY NICE !!
what is the fluid ??
Can we get some plans and where you bought your gear
Can I run something like this with an Everlast plasma cutter?
yes you can. :) you just need the whole CNC setup and thats the hard bit. lol
Hallo,
habt ihr die Zahnriemenscheiben extra gelagert, oder nur auf die Achsen der Schrittmotoren fixiert? Welche Baugröße haben die Schrittmotoren? Was habt ihr da genau für Linearführungsschienen verwendet? Echt schicke Maschine, würde mir auch gefallen :)
I like how you programmed it, what software was used? Also, was there a cad program used to convert drawn letters into a dxf? thanks...
