Anyone who has a hobby in demolition and repairing things has a small workshop in his house.. One starts with a drill, then a grinder, then a welding machine, and so on, then he reaches the air compressor and plasma cutter.. It is hobby and not for manufacturing and making money.. It is not a commercial work to make money... So what is the objection to that? It is a hobby and you do the duty that fulfills your hobby.
If your building what you call a "hobby" CNC plasma system do you expect this system to perform accurately, while producing consistent results? I'm sure we all know the answer to this question as it would be pointless to build any CNC robot that didn't perform in this manner. This would mean regardless of your own particular applications (to only produce items for yourself, or to produce items for sale as one would for a business) the machine is quite literally one in the same as no person claiming to use their CNC system for solely producing components for themselves expects their system to perform in an inconsistent manner. They expect if they're cutting a circle for it to be round, and of accurate size no different then the business owner would using the same type of CNC robot. I think its time to understand an end users applications doesn't dictate how either user (business/recreation) systems are different. In what you typed think of buying your welder, grinder, or drill. Would you be satisfied if these tools only would turn on some of the time? You wouldn't, and you certainly wouldn't explain to Home Depot or any other box store your just a hobbyist because it wouldn't matter. The point is you bought the tool expecting it would work, and it doesn't as it should. This means you just wasted money on it as now you have to replace it in these analogies. Now factor in a content creator recommending to their audience to purchase these tools to you without understanding all the variables required to be known for all end users that would make them perform in a stable manner. Sounds like a real bad situation, and one that produces a lot of lost time, and money especially if you were the one "drinking the Koolaid" on his videos. Thank you, Vince
@corvetteguy50 Oh man, it's normal that it doesn't cut with great precision and everyone knows that. The hobbyist enjoys that it works and doesn't care about great precision...
The Ortur controller featured in the video reflects its USB, and if you expect the most stable signal performance ethernet is your safest investment. Thank you, Vince
Great video as usual Vince....but please reduce your window because you are covering a lot of useful info of the creators videos 😄....... of course i'm joking 👍😂
The magnet mounts certainly are. Double shielded cables are much better suited for CNC applications as our cables are "active" meaning foil (Mylar) shielding is not near as effective by itself when the cable is flexing in motion as it deteriorates quickly. Here's some more proof. www.iconnsystems.com/blog/foil-shielding-vs.-braided-shielding-in-cable-assemblies Its also a fact double shielded cables mitigate EMI more efficiently as they're are two forms of Faraday Cages around the cable's internal leads. In the end Its totally up to you the end user. Thank you, Vince
The difference between LF vs HF plasma cutters is the ingition start. The HF start the arc after touching to the piece, like a lift tig machine. The LF type start the arc without touching to the piece, in the thin air, more torch like ignition.
Hey Vince, my name is Tony Layne, I am trying to replace a g250xr3 drive, is there anyway I can message you? I have a few questions. Please and thank you.
Hey Tony, My information is in the video's description. You can also contact your vendor as they should be supporting the drive as well. Thank you, and have a great weekend! Vince
Ill never understand why these guys want to build a machine as cheap as possible. The machine cost is mostly irrelevant if you budget with ROI in mind. A $5000 plasma table will easily pay for itself in a year or less in a smalll business.
Thank you for your support, and you couldn't have typed it better. The logic behind most of these types of builds is simply non existent. Thank you, Vince
It beats building the same system a content creator assembled on his channel only to find you spent a couple grand that it didn't work. You have to be realistic of what you're investing in. If you don't have the money then save for it. Its always better to do it right the first time, then rebuilding a system multiple times. Thank you, Vince

Please read what I typed again. A robot that's expected to be accurate, and stable that isn't equals a paperweight.
Thank you, and good luck
Vince
how about links to the original video???
He uses Bluetooth to connect to the controller, what’s your view on that? Halfway house between usb and Ethernet?
The Ortur controller featured in the video reflects its USB, and if you expect the most stable signal performance ethernet is your safest investment. Thank you,

Great video as usual Vince....but please reduce your window because you are covering a lot of useful info of the creators videos 😄....... of course i'm joking 👍😂
:) thank you for your support. I really appreciate it. Vince
The magnet idea is brilliantly deadly. On a side note i would live to see a video comparing the performance of single shielded cables vs double.
The magnet mounts certainly are.
Double shielded cables are much better suited for CNC applications as our cables are "active" meaning foil (Mylar) shielding is not near as effective by itself when the cable is flexing in motion as it deteriorates quickly.
Here's some more proof. www.iconnsystems.com/blog/foil-shielding-vs.-braided-shielding-in-cable-assemblies

It depends where you are from.
Am from Zimbabwe and importing a 5000 usd machine from usa or europe the cost ends up being double

17 year old me would have gone crazy for something like this. 5 years later I think I spent like $5-6000 building a router.
Thank you for your support. Yea, that's a reasonable amount for a nice system. Have a great weekend!
