I can't say enough good things about these plans. I always wanted a CNC plasma cutter but wanted to stay in a small budget. This was truly the best option out there. On top of that JD's Garage continues to add upgrades to the CNC table such as the pipe cutting feature and recently added the floating head for Z axis and never charge additional for the updated plans. They even started work on a THC and I am 100% in once complete. I used this plasma CNC table almost 5 or 6 days a week and just love it. I had a blast building this and JD's Garage was always there if I had questions. Thanks Guys!
@@schlomoshekelstein908it’s different for everybody as it depends on your location, how much you can scrounge and where you buy your parts. Do your own research, it’s not hard. If you’re on a tight budget, Aliexpress is your friend! 👍🖖
@@kawataufik5098 did you even go to their web page? They can't give a "total cost" as they don't know what materials in your area will cost. They do give a ball park of about $500.
You received a sub and purchase of the plans from me !! I have no immediate plans to build.... but for 25 bucks, I totally want to support fellow garage project channel and builder !!
Hey thanks GOD for people like you, that makes others like myself with less money possibilities enjoy having a machine like that and be able to accomplish something they could only dream of!!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I've had my plasma cutter for sometime now and as you say it works flawlessly. And I must say your kits are of the highest quality. Thanks for the video!
I am watching this from South Africa,i am willing to build my own cnc plasma cutter,where to buy the plans,and suppose i dont have 3D printer ,is it possible to ship those 3D printed parts to South Africa?
I decided to tackle this build - with no 3d printing experience and no CNC experience. Bought a "Longer" brand 3d printer and made all the parts. Fabricated everything else in a weekend and had it all assembled and moving smoothly. Bought all the stuff listed in the list and then tackled the electronics. If I would have read ALL the instructions - I would have not had ANY problems - but a quick email asking what I did wrong was responded to quickly and within minutes I was back on course!!! My first cuts were not so great - and it turned out I had a very thin and wavy metal that caused lack of continuity on the plasma - and would "flame out". Put a nicer (not new) piece in and it ran flawlessly. I cannot say enough good things about the effort that these gentlemen put into these plans and project. I do not yet have the z-axis but will be ordering all the parts tonight - and they have a THC amperage management in the works too! My first few test pieces were 2" square and 2" circle to see how true this was running. Dimentionally I was 2.002 x 1.987 square and 1.994 round (there was about .005 variance around the circle). I will try and recalibrate as I think I might have been off in the Y axis... I am VERY pleased! I hope they sell a LOT of plans to make their efforts worth while! Thank you!
For anyone wondering about what the plans are like, I. Ordered and they were sent straight away. Very well detailed in clear steps. Just had the last of the electrical parts arrive. Now need th have another read of the plans and connect it together. Once I have that working I’ll order the steel tubing cut to length and all the printed parts from you.
Love it! I just ordered the plans. I'm no newbie when it comes to CNC machinery, having built CNC routers and milling machines and I knew it was time to get a CNC plasma cutter in the Wet Coast Fab shop. Rather than spending the time designing and figuring it all out, I pulled the trigger on these plans! I can't wait to start building it and putting it to good use, perhaps using the machine to cut out non-3D printer component replacements for the gantry, etc.
@@jethrosnyman8928 The build itself went great. The plans are well written, when JD comes out with another project I'll buy that too. without hesitation. It's functioning perfect, but I haven't had time to learn any of the CAD & post process stuff yet. Not JD's fault, I'm a welder not a computer guy. Once work slows down a bit I'll tackle that part. Big thumbs up!
I am sold. Bad ass guys, very cool product you have here. Looking forward to building my own - for sure will be buying. The notching of the tubes sent me into the stratosphere
I’m very interested in this, and think I’d like to do it, but was wondering if you’ve thought about how to make this scalable? In other words, can I build the small size you have plans for, then scale it up to a 4’ x 4’ or 4’ x 8’ or 5’ x 10’? Can the axis be made “modular” so you don’t have to rebuild an entirely new table for increased size? Looking forward to your response. :)
Can y’all please make a video on operating it. Especially the z axis touchoff and height adjustments . I’m having trouble making it do what I need. Thanks
I bought mine and a few extras for another design as well. Fast shipping and great communication. I definitely recommend this if you want a true budget cutter! Thanks again!
I had the 2in tubing. I used aluminum for the cross bar($12), bolts and fasteners at tractor supply for $9. I priced the 2in at my local supplier for around $110. Electronics were another $120 including shielded wire. My nonHF plasma cutter off eBay was $150
Couple suggestions - plans should have version/revision #'s so as you make improvements/adjustments one can clearly see what version of plans you're on. The 3d printed washers I received for the bearing blocks were too thick, impossible to get the bearings + washers into the bearing blocks as shown in the plans. I flattened one of the washers each side and that helped make the assembly possible. The tube frame bolts are about 1/2" too short. I got mine together, but it's not great with only a couple threads in the nut. Plans should spec frame bolts (2.5" and 4.5" 3/8 bolts) to be 1/2" longer.
Just got plans and kit with z axis kit very good quality I'm ready to get my steel and but I am going to increase my overall size to cut 36 x 49.5 sheet so I iam going to order 2nd kit to fully support grantry like the crossfire pro table . Plans are very simple and thought out. Order and build today
You just answered my question, thank you! Sitting here thinking, "How & why did they come to the decision of 28x30" size, and how could I make it at least 4x4ft?" I get 4x8ft sheets, so it'd be a real pain to cut down to fit this table size.
@@branchandfoundry560 well as they said cost was mo of the channel and the water pan only one i don't mind buying 2 pans I found vevor 32x32×2.5 stainless . Iam all in for $1500 as for first time cnc build and want to do router too not willing to spend 5k for plasma and then 5k + for router as I have fabrication tools don't want to do full 4x8 tables don't mind 2 /4x4 tables that I can move around they have limited space. I do too but don't mind loosing like 5x10 is for 2 tools i Have small sign company so 4x8 or 3x8 ,2x4 seems pretty good for me and learning curve.
First, this is brilliant and I'm going to start this journey soon. Second, the only question I have is the type of filament you're using for the 3d printed parts? I can print PETG, but not sure if you're doing this in ABS or another UV resistant material. Cheers!
So bought your plans, have printed off and looked at vids etc,Fantastic effort to compile all that to be able to purchase it for $25 cant wait to start printing off parts and the build,beyond happy with purchase cheers David New Zealand
I was on the fence about the plans and then.. you brought up the tube cutter. Brilliant! It's a shame it seems so hard to find CNC compatible (with voltage & arc OK output) plasma cutters in the UK at a reasonable price :( .. but the search for one continues!
Hello, I am in the process of building my "JD's Garage" plasma cutter. I purchased the plans and the 3D printed components. I have ordered and received all the other components, I just picked up all the hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, screws) and all I need now is to go get the metal. I love making and building things (hobbies). I am a hobbyist. I am in now way claiming to be an expert. I just know I am going to have fun building the cutter and using it. Question: Can you do "tiling". cutting out a project piece longer the the work area of the cutter? Or, should I cut smaller pieces and use tabs and slot for registration to be welded? Also, do you have a FaceBook page for the plasma cutter. This would be an area for others who have built the cutter to ask questions from the community, and to share their cutter and projects, ideas, tips & tricks.
I'm following you for quite a time now and absolutely love your projects! I will be soon acquiring your plans for the plasma cutter, but one quick question - how are you producing the GCODE for notching?
They have a "soup to nuts" video demonstrating a blank Fusion 360 to making a bracket, to setting up the "tool" - to the actual slicing - that creates the GCODE.
I'm tempted to buy this almost solely for the tube notcher. It would save me so much welding time on my exhausts if i didnt have to fill in my poor fit up 😂
25 bucks, and its in METRIC!?!. Take my money. Thank you by the way, this feels like something I a father of two toddlers will actually be able to do within a year or so =D
Do you supply dwg files so we can cut the pieces out with a plasma table? I have a buddy that could cut the pieces out for me to enable me to build this. Also the files for the 3D printed parts? I have a 3D printer.
Hi Jd, i just found your channel, gotta say this is awesome been wanting to put one of these together for some time now, looking forward to following your instructions on my very first one. gotta ask, do you plan on upgrading to a bigger table?
very impressive job with this project, one question and maybe you made a video that I haven't found is the software for the Arduino. I am guessing its open share but do you have a video explaining how that side works?
i have a hypertherm powermax 45 xp without the cnc remote connector. do i just bypass the trigger wires with a relay or something with your setup? thats the only question i have befor i buy your plans and get started.
I’ve got the exact same plasma cutter! That table build is awesome! What are your setting for 1/4” plate? Amps? PSI? Feed rate? Pierce height? Pierce delay? EVERYTHING!.....please.🙂
I have a plasma table but having trouble getting a G code to the table to cut the part missing the specific sequence hoping to learn it so I can open this machine to a whole new way to build things.Thanks
I've bought the plans, the 3d parts, and everything I need from Amazon for the table and z-axis except the 25 608ZZ bearings linked on the BOM sheet. They have been out of stock or too low of stock this past week or so that I've been checking. Do you have any other bearings you'd recommend?
Great video, I'd like to do a project like this. Minus the plasma cutter and computer, what's the approximate costing to make this? Metal, controllers and all the misc parts..etc. thanks
The main thing holding me back is the Ardino, do I have to program it or just wire it up to controllers? I want to buy the plans and parts just gathering information before I press buy.
Hi guys! You are awesome.! I M on the fence to build, or modify, a cnc router, and plasma hybrid machine. And tube cnc cut as well. I can build all the framing. But would need all plastic parts and most of all. All electronics, motors, etc. Please get back to me for a quote to supply me these parts and plan for a 4x8 machine work table. Cheers!
By the way, I'm not on a budget, if you suggest any thing better for our needs, like carving aluminum one day and cuting plasma, the other, and might laser mark to... Sky is the limit I know! Keep me posted!
I purchased the plans a couple of weeks ago and am still gathering the materials, but had a question... the schematic @1:30 shows what appears to an ARM processor. In your BOM and earlier videos, it's an Arduino Uno. Have you guys upgraded your recommendation? Thanks. 🍻
Where are the dimensional drawing for the stl parts. Mainly the 2" bearing supports. I looked every where only seeing stalls. Great if you want 3d prints with no mods. But I want to mill aluminum parts for the centerr tube mount and caps that hold the bearings. STLs do not provide sizes for that purpose.
@@MrMrsregor Yes, but calibrating out the unit doesn't make a difference if the 2" square tube is warped in the middle, right? Maybe I'm mistaken on what size of a variation matters. Will a 0.01" - 0.03" variation for most projects matter?
Do any of the existing videos go into detail on how the relay is connected to the plasma torch? If not, is that something you'd be willing to do ? Edit: I now realize that they make specific plasma cutters for CNC with those 2 additional pins. True to form, my project is getting expensiver and expensiver :)
Hi, I am interested in buying the metric plans, when a new revision comes out or an add on such as torch height will be be given the lastest version? Thanks
Hi JD I would like to know what size box is used for the electronics also what gauge wire is used and the shielded cable and can i get them, I don" know much about electronics. Thanks much
I'd love to work with you to get my custom piece prototyped. If I download the software and get the files to you, would you be able to quote me a price? There's no rush. I'm still waiting for some final mock up measurements before I cut the test piece out of wood to make sure everything lines up with the different test mules. I was going to use primitive means to get a prototype out of steel but If I could just pay you to zip zap it, that would save me a huge headache!!! Once I know it will do the job, I have to find a manufacturer who can make 100 of them for a test run on amazon. If they sell... I'm taking out a loan and ordering big so I can get the price down as low as possible. This could be life changing if it works. Seeing your video gave me hope.
Quick question will the electronics work with Lotos LTP7000 Pilot Arc machine? Don't want to order a bunch of parts and then find out it won't work with the machine I have. Thanks for the info.
does it have the info about what motor to buy and the gears and extra accesories like the rollers, why dont you guys just sell the whole thing and let one assemle it, one more thin can it be extended to a longer size to cut?
silly question but can I get plans in metric? if not happy to convert my self just think that it might already be out there, otherwise looks great, looking forward to buying plans and making it, does it also come with plans for the pipe cutting rotation thingy?
just answered my own question and see that you have metric version of plans thanks in advance and looking forward to making this, might take me some time to make.
I'm thinking of buying the plans but I'm wondering if I can get all the parts needed in Europe? Don't want to spend a lot of money on importing the parts needed for this build.
HI Gents, could you please point me to the specs needed for the 3D printer used for this, ie filament type part dimensions, resolution and whatever else is of relevance. I will probably buy some plans but just wanted to make sure I can access a suitable 3D printer first. Cheers
I bought a Langmuir Crossfire Pro but still haven't cut out anything I can understand the programming I want to make wildlife deck railing inserts but can't get it to work and I've had it for almost 2 yrs. I'm thinking I'll sell the thing and cut hy hand
For more Information you can check out our website here. jdsgarage.bigcartel.com/

The main thing holding me back is the Ardino, do I have to program it or just wire it up to controllers? I want to buy the plans and parts just gathering information before I press buy.
The software programs the Arduino, no geek needed. See the software video. Openbuilds Control.
What cable goes from the back of the plasma cutter to the computer ? It doesn’t come with it
Hi guys! You are awesome.!
I M on the fence to build, or modify, a cnc router, and plasma hybrid machine.
And tube cnc cut as well.
I can build all the framing.
But would need all plastic parts and most of all. All electronics, motors, etc. Please get back to me for a quote to supply me these parts and plan for a 4x8 machine work table.
Cheers!
By the way, I'm not on a budget, if you suggest any thing better for our needs, like carving aluminum one day and cuting plasma, the other, and might laser mark to... Sky is the limit I know! Keep me posted!
What’s total cost
ROCK & ROLL with the CNC plasma table?
I purchased the plans a couple of weeks ago and am still gathering the materials, but had a question... the schematic @1:30 shows what appears to an ARM processor. In your BOM and earlier videos, it's an Arduino Uno. Have you guys upgraded your recommendation? Thanks. 🍻
The BOM and schematic in the plans is correct, stick with that.
They are good but still need a few instructions on some of the parts, but it can be figure out if you look all the way thru
Where are the dimensional drawing for the stl parts. Mainly the 2" bearing supports. I looked every where only seeing stalls. Great if you want 3d prints with no mods. But I want to mill aluminum parts for the centerr tube mount and caps that hold the bearings. STLs do not provide sizes for that purpose.
Can you build a 5x10 with these plans?
My biggest question for building a DIY CNC is this, are the metal tubes straight enough for the precision that we want out of CNC?
yes, just calibrate or zero out the unit (i assume you are talking about the tubes that he made the cnc table from)
@@MrMrsregor Yes, but calibrating out the unit doesn't make a difference if the 2" square tube is warped in the middle, right? Maybe I'm mistaken on what size of a variation matters. Will a 0.01" - 0.03" variation for most projects matter?
@@MrMrsregor Yes I am. How do you calibrate out a dip in the middle?
How about complete start to finish tutorial on your kit
Do any of the existing videos go into detail on how the relay is connected to the plasma torch?
If not, is that something you'd be willing to do ?
Edit: I now realize that they make specific plasma cutters for CNC with those 2 additional pins. True to form, my project is getting expensiver and expensiver :)
Hi, I am interested in buying the metric plans, when a new revision comes out or an add on such as torch height will be be given the lastest version? Thanks
Hi JD I would like to know what size box is used for the electronics also what gauge wire is used and the shielded cable and can i get them, I don" know much about electronics. Thanks much
Hi, how thick will it cut ? Is it only for steel cutting ?, can it be made bigger ?
I'd love to work with you to get my custom piece prototyped. If I download the software and get the files to you, would you be able to quote me a price? There's no rush. I'm still waiting for some final mock up measurements before I cut the test piece out of wood to make sure everything lines up with the different test mules. I was going to use primitive means to get a prototype out of steel but If I could just pay you to zip zap it, that would save me a huge headache!!! Once I know it will do the job, I have to find a manufacturer who can make 100 of them for a test run on amazon. If they sell... I'm taking out a loan and ordering big so I can get the price down as low as possible. This could be life changing if it works. Seeing your video gave me hope.
Can you not 3D print that motor plate then replace it once the plasma is working with one cut from plasma?
What is your consumable life with the lotus plasma cutter? I can barely get through a day of cutting before it destroys the consumables.
You could have too much humidity in your air system.
Quick question will the electronics work with Lotos LTP7000 Pilot Arc machine? Don't want to order a bunch of parts and then find out it won't work with the machine I have. Thanks for the info.
For those that have built one do you have a
Ballpark cost for the complete build?
does it have the info about what motor to buy and the gears and extra accesories like the rollers, why dont you guys just sell the whole thing and let one assemle it, one more thin can it be extended to a longer size to cut?
silly question but can I get plans in metric? if not happy to convert my self just think that it might already be out there, otherwise looks great, looking forward to buying plans and making it, does it also come with plans for the pipe cutting rotation thingy?
just answered my own question and see that you have metric version of plans thanks in advance and looking forward to making this, might take me some time to make.
I'm thinking of buying the plans but I'm wondering if I can get all the parts needed in Europe? Don't want to spend a lot of money on importing the parts needed for this build.
HI Gents, could you please point me to the specs needed for the 3D printer used for this, ie filament type part dimensions, resolution and whatever else is of relevance. I will probably buy some plans but just wanted to make sure I can access a suitable 3D printer first. Cheers
An Ender 3 with and genetic PLA filament will do the trick.
I bought a Langmuir Crossfire Pro but still haven't cut out anything I can understand the programming I want to make wildlife deck railing inserts but can't get it to work and I've had it for almost 2 yrs. I'm thinking I'll sell the thing and cut hy hand
This is amazing!
How much for one in kit form? I'm useless with instructions and electric. Can I have a price shipped to the uk. Thanks.
