- Track makes cutting metal very easy is accurate and fast. The machine is equipped with two strong electromagnets so that the cut piece is stable and does not move during cutting. I used an old screwdriver 12v I found on the scrap metal. To power the screwdriver and electromagnets I used a 12v 16A dual channel power supply, and a speed controller to control the screwdriver's rotation. Thanks to the adjustable length, we can adjust the machine's distance to the size of the piece to be cut.

And once again I have been proven Wrong!! There is professional, intelligent people still living on this earth. Thank you great build! From start to the finish product! Cheers! Jp
"Anyone can make something with GOOD equipment", I recall a machine shop foreman saying in response to complaints about dull end mills and worn out Bridgeports. But, it takes someone truly resourceful to make something like this with drill presses and grinders. Really nicely done! Subscribed.
A lead screw and bar stock, not really that hard to make. But for what it does, it's overly complex, and will just be far more hassle trying to control your level of dross with a potentiometer. The the actual setting it up. You're better off just using a simple guide.
I think everyone else watching figured he was working on an x axis gantry setup, for as much as he put into this.
@@FlipLoLz For 30+ years I've used a pair of vice grips and a heavy piece of angle iron to achieve the exact same result.
And it's quicker to set up and cost free, finding an elaborate expensive way to do a simple task doesn't always pay off.
😅
This is an excellent work from every point of view; Learning, understanding, ideas, what else every corner. You are an excellent planner, designer, developer. Good job my friend
I spent the whole video wondering when he was going to start making the y-axis. Then realised... oh.
Very nice build all the same.
I especially liked the electromagnet clamps.
Excellent use of an old drill. I really like the final result. It seems better than by hand. But, I do a fairly good job with a foot to hold the correct height and a straight edge to follow.
Excellent build Sir. I love the way your mind works. Thanks for sharing this with us.
This is a great bit of kit! I saw this being used on one of your other projects first and thought that it was a great use of a plasma cutter. I’ve seen commercial flame cutting versions too.
"Залип".и смотрел как загипнотизированный!!! МАСТЕР, Вы просто молодец!!!!
Аналогично 😁👍
PARABÉNS PELO PROJETO MUITO BEM ELABORADO, CONTINUE FAZENDO EXCELENTE TRABALHO
Parabéns pelo projeto

You build such great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you 😁
Out standing! Thank you for sharing!
You are certainly a match for Make it Extreme or Donn DIY. I wish you more views and subscribers. Beautiful build, again.
Amazing project I'm sure you will use it well to your advantage. As always a great build . They just start flow and end up as an amazing tool
Thank you 😁
The limit switches are absolutely required ! Good job !
Thank you 😁 I set the clutch in the screwdriver so that it would stop driving the screw after hitting an obstacle
With how fast you move and the quality of your work, your the best tweaker of all time
I like the bevel cut setting. Awsome job. Watching the video was like watching a craftsman working.
Thank you 😁
Piękna robota . Gratuluje
Wow. That's an impressive piece of kit. !
Awesome build!!! That would definitely come in handy.
Amazing work, great speed, showing all the steps, many thanks.
Extremely well made 👍🏼 just like everything you build
Thank you 😁
Really nice Job Step by Step, good Construction. The only one thing : I would Set two switches . One on Start and one adjustable at the end to save the Cordless screwdriver for overturn.
He did explained that, no need to use those switches since he's using the clutch on the drill, that makes the machine less complicated but still can be added later if he wants.
All the suggestions about limit switches are completely misplaced. The clutch on the drill is fine to use as the limiting mechanism. Amazing how many bookworms completely miss the simplicity of this design. AND, he got the drill from a scrap heap. I built highly complex injection molds for most of my life, and I know when precision is required, and I know when it isn't. Nothing wrong or deficient in the design. Plasma cutting is not in any way aerospace precision.
@@Vodichka9 oh man, thats right , I forgot the clutch . So simpel so easy
Your projects are always Inspiring. You are very talented
Congrates on putting all that in on under 20 minites! All it needs now is a bungy hung from the ceiling to hold the plasma cord/hose up from work and a cut-off switch on each end to shut down feed when it reaches the ends of travel. Well done.
Wow that's awesome, great job. You could add limit switches to each end that cut out that directions power feed when it hits the end and only allows going the other direction, just for a little added protection.
I considered this too, but thought of another way of protecting it that would likely be easier: use a cordless drill with a torque setting that just slips when it hits a certain torque. Set it low since this shouldn't actually have to overcome much resistance beyond the stiffness of the Plasma cutter's cable/hose. In my admittedly biased opinion it is an elegant solution.
I think this is a great video.
Awesome! I enjoyed watching that build!
This’s a tool that I need! Thanks for taking the time and great video too.
great build
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it
I see this being most useful mounted somewhere like on top of a bender. Quickly bend parts from sheet, then cut off and be ready for the next one. Or, add another axis and have a portable plasma table. As it is, it's a viable alternative to a saw for large plate, and a mighty decent way to upcycle. Kudos, my good man.
Thank you 😁
I was like “that’s pretty cool but it’s only straight cuts” ... then he does a perfect bevel cut 🤯
lol clamp a straight edge and lean your gun to the side hahaha im still confused all this work for a straight edge cut myself.
@@StrapDLBStyle the consumables to cut through material that thick that often is why a plasma cutter is nice I would think
@@StrapDLBStyle I wonder too. I can see it being useful if you have a bunch of stuff to cut but yeah, a straight edge and a steady arm. Mind you, the fact that you can dial in the speeds means you will get a nicer cut. Cool all the same and will hang on the wall out of the way when not in use.
THAT'S alot of work for just a straight edge
Thats what I was thinking,thats alot of work for just a straight edge
Wow you weren't kidding. Very impressive use of scrap metal and old cordless drill
I really liked this plasma cut tool
Love the project.
For the future, as another two sets of these, to make X and Y and a few steppers or servos and a controller and you'll have one heck of CNC plasma cutter, ohhhh maybe adding a way to swap out the plasma cutter with a CNC rotary tool (a Dremel).
Yeah, I wish I had the tools to do that lol
That shows very unique and capable skills. Very well done to you.
so much amazing craftmanship and the damn screwdriver is off and makes the whole assembly wobbly.... damnit!
Dewalt stepper is the epic ,very cool !!!
Straight skills... I am going to assume he's already trying to incorporate automation into nozzle using CAD or similar
Watching this video in 2x speed shows the fabricator didn't even flinch in his process - he knew what to do at all times. 👏
A mechanical genius what a great work thank you!
Mais um projeto super legal e bem feito. Parabéns. Talvez uma melhoria que pode ser feita seria um suporte para o cabo não encostar no metal quente. Hello from Brazil
Aä😮 nii nii😮😮 on
11:28 & 15:52 the absolutely *BEST* use of any dewalt tool I've ever seen! 👍👍👍
And YES, I would also definitely cover it up and hide it, wouldn't want anyone to see that thing in the shop... not joking. All opinions about dewalt aside... Your Magnetic Plasma Cutting Sled is a Very Nice addition to your shop. Well thought out and planned as always. I can see that being a Very Useful tool in many ways. 👏👏👏 If I ever get a plasma cutter, I might have to borrow your design 😁😁
Thank you :)
Исполнение хорошее.
По названию можно подумать, что автор сейчас сделает плазморез с нуля, но это видео про автоматическую направляющую каретку для ручного плазмореза.
Идея с магнитами заслуживает отдельного уважения.
This is an outstanding tutorial! Subscribed.
Thank you 😁
That is so nice.
I have most of the parts In my junk pile.
I'm the same way. BTW, it's not a "junk pile", it's "recyclables parts inventory"...just saying...
I really like the magnetic base. Good build.
Thank you 😁
Wow. Your skills and shop are impressive!. Wicked cool seeing your idea come to life. Awesome job!!
Thank you 😁
I feel like this is going to be one of my favorite channels. Kudos.
Wranglestar has some great videos
4:50 - Such a simple but ingenious idea I love it
Nice! Straight cuts and bevel cuts on flat pieces. Not a bad start.
EXCELENTE INCREÍBLE. Felicitaciones!!!
Great build! Thanks for sharing. Could you also share some details on the electronics you used. That would be super helpful. Thanks again. Sparky
Although really cool, it's no so much "Making a Plasma Cutting Machine" it's making a guide table for a plasma cutter or plasma cutter guide track or a plasma cutter slide track. because at no point in this video did you make anything plasma. and the only reason why i came here. To make my own PLASMA Cutting Machine. again, really nice track.
@@1islam1 ՝՝
Tend to agree with you but the gentleman or lady has done a great work..
When you buy a plasma cnc it doesn't usually come with the plasma unit unless you purchase a dedicated industrial unit... he did this from scratch applaud his work if you understand fabrication
Cannot get any better than making your own tool. Nice!
then she said; your fired useless.
Cracking bit of work, and so useful.
Amazing build. I would add some kind of manager for the for the hose feed (what ever it is that feed to the cutting head). With your mad skills, a super simple mod.

Just amazingly something what I am thinking about to make. I am really under huge impression. Please could you a BOM with sizing, I would really love to copy your project for myself. Thanks in advance.
Excellent engineering!!! Great video!
You are just incredible at building and incredible in your imagination ! Is this something you dreamed up and created ? Wow ! ! Really enjoyed this and this project could be utilized for other future endeavors as well. Keep up the Videos, Thanks !
I love it. Everything about this is great!
Как всегда круто... лайк.👍
Man, that´s a really cool idea!
Great Device !!! The work of the master is excellent. Plus. Thank you. Peace to your home. I'm from Russia.
That's slick. I'd add some limit switches at the ends. Then you could walk off and let it run when cutting thick steel and not have to sit and watch it. Then either tap into the plasma switch circuit or add a solenoid to activate the torch head.
Or weld like a machine)
@@mabul513 Yep, that too....After seeing this video, I've started thinking about building something like this or along the same lines for my Alaskan Sawmill I use.
@@TheEquineFencer lucky you like my brother. Has enough space to shoot arrows down his hall. While because of him I'm in garage sized room . Strange good die arses get good stuff!
Simplesmente fabuloso!!!
Well done creative - this is the meaning of creativity - Your follower from Iraq
Thank you 😁
Thank you for sharing, excellent engineering idea, very nice video thank from Uruguay, have a good day and be safe
Excellent editing and profusely humorous fast motion oh, cool thingy you made there, also😉
Thank you 😁
Amazing work well done ❤️
Thank you 😁
This level of fabrication is on another level! I wish that I had the know how to create things like this!
Micro switches for end of travel would be a nice touch. Nice build!
It's a very nice build, but I wanted to learn about making the cutter.
Next time?
I learned a lot 😀
Perfeito!!!!
Very impressive. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. Your a pretty good welder too. Nice job fella.
Impressive demonstration
Absolutely brilliant!
true testament to human ingenuity!
You need to fit limiter switchers through two DPDT relays so it returns to zero after each cut. A guide wheel to lift the cable at the control box would be good extra.
I was thinking how easy it would be to attach propper stepper motors and arduino board. Place the gantry on two rails for a stable Y axis and turn it into a plasma CNC cutter.
Hahaha that was my thought exactly, where them safety stops! Otherwise this is really nice. I could see it have a HUGE use in a weld school. That's literally perfect for making bar stock to weld on
.
Also adding limiter switch add more safety
A limit switch at each end of travel would prevent the drive motor from stalling out.
O cara é brabo pra fazer as coisas, coisa linda de Deus as ferramentas produzidas ir ele.
Bravo a well exicuteded piece of workmanship very inspiring ideas keep up the videos as I will definitely be watching. Cheers
Where did you get the shafts and blocks for your linear movement
Muito bom!!!! Mas vou fazer uma sugestão: instale interruptores de fim-de-curso no carrinho.
Semplicemente spettacolare! Sei grande 💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really creative!!..Excellent work from cheap parts too!!
Love this! Great attention to detail and assembly clearances. Still like my angle iron as a guide and 2 welding clamps.

Ññññ que no se te olvide y6y6yy
A small tip: When cutting on the band saw, especially flat material, put a wedge under the piece in the vice so the flat material sits at an angle, that way you shorten the amount of material the blade is cutting across. It'll cut through it much faster.
Wouldn't it be cutting through the exact same cross sectional area regardless of orientation?
@@welshdave5263 overall, yes, but with it flat, you are riding the blade on a lot larger surface area at once. Angled, the blade is only engaging a much smaller surface area at any given time. Think of cutting a 2x4 with a hand saw, most cut either at an angle or from the edge, not flat across the width. It's quicker and easier.
@@edwardlance2379 less accurate.
@@Anomaly.Filmworks not in my experience.
@@edwardlance2379 if you cut a flat piece at an angle, you're cutting more than if it was flat.
Next on my list to build so AWESOME!!!!
Thank you 😁
Amazing job, fit a laser for easy reference 👍😉
Great work as always but I think it's missing a couple of automat stop buttons to prevent the machine from screwing itself to death 😂😜😅
Thank you 😁 After reaching the end, the clutch in the screwdriver stops the drive, although the limit switches would be a better solution, but the clutch in the screwdriver also works :)
@@WorkshopFromScratch i Was guessing you would be using the clutch
When I sarted working piece of chalk and a gas ax those were the days linishing all the slag off the parts
Outstanding fabrication and prototyping !
Great build. This machine is going to get used allot for sure. Only thing I would add is a set of limit switches.
Cheers
Willy
Thank you 😁
The screwdriver has a clutch, it is set so that after reaching the end the screw stops being driven, although it would be better to mount a limit switch, but the clutch solution also works
@@WorkshopFromScratch I forgot all about being able to use the clutch of the drill to prevent jamming the screw at the end of it's travel. Good idea.
Just thought of something else that might be beneficial to your design. That screw is going to get nasty dirty with plasma cutting dust and cause allot of wear. What you could try is to mount a couple of brushes, one on each side of the nut so that the ends of the bristles engage the threads of the screw. As the screw turns the bristles clean out the threads. The brushes would need to be cleaned often but better than wearing out your nut and screw. If you mounted the brushes on a pivot you could swing them away from the screw, blow them off and than swing them back into position. Enjoyed watching this build.
Cheers

Brilliant repurposing of those electromagnetic door locks.
Super work!
Thank you 😁
Wow genius 👏. I need to get lost and make one up and get away from the wife and kids for a few days. Love the step by step tooling. Cool 😎
Thank you 😁
@@WorkshopFromScratch who's the song and artist for the music?!
Your work is awsome. Very well planned out thanks for this. 🇨🇦
Nice job! Speaking as a robotics engineer, to take your work to the next level you need a sand blasting booth. Removing the mill scale and burrs before and after you manufacture parts, and again before you paint makes the difference in a millimeter or two in length and arch degrees. Your projects produce less undesirable twist and vibration.
That is gobbledygook. You completely miss the point of his design: quick and dirty construction produces straight line plasma cutting. Period. You're a robotics "engineer" and you think sandblasting will take it to the next level?
@@Vodichka9 Be at peace, for God is with you.
nice work... add limit switches to each ends so you dont need to stop it manually
Thank you 😁
