You can 3d print a secondary torch mount to eliminate some of the slop I would also line the ebay mount with neoprene to cushion the extra space.also I would look into an Anti corrosive additive for your water. Or a better one for it if you are using it. There still seems to be some rust on your slats. And even just having that (none on the pan or whatever) can cause issues down the road.
Wish I had seen this video about 6 weeks ago :) I have been cruising salvage yards for aluminum and I thought I had scored big time when I found a 10 foot 2x9 3/16ths extruded beam (80lbs). I was going to drill 4 inch holes strategically on both sides to lighten the beam. I thought I could knock off at least 40lbs doing that, but you have me rethinking the plan. The gantry was going to be on the 8 foot side, of a 4x8 table. Really really really like your water pan and air pressure, I am going to do that for sure. Really appreciate your explanations. Two questions if you have time, It looks like you did a 2x2 steel frame, is it 1/8th wall or thicker? Does your gantry run on bearings as well as slides? Great video, loved it good job!
I used 5 to 1 planetary gear boxes and 900 oz Nema 34 motors. I need either bigger motors or a lighter gantry. The 3x6 extrusion is 7plus pounds a foot. On thinner materials like 14 ga and less I have to have the ramping so slow that I am having issues. I am going to try swapped to 2x4 extrusion. Should cut around 60 pounds off the weight and hopefully help with thin material cutting.
@ethanmorehead8386 it is a 4 year old gaming laptop I bought from Costco. Running the table itself doesn't take much of a computer. Using Fusion 360 and my 3d scanner are what max out the computer. My plasm software would probably work on about any new laptop that is currently sold.
That is one of the nicest built tables on UA-cam. I most likely will build mine close to yours. Great job!
Thanks. I still plan to make a few changes to it. A lighter gantry, better z axis, and a computer stand are in the future for improvements.
Thoughtful, beautiful build! Great ideas and innovation!

can you make video to show us how plasma work and also can you show us the parts of table . thanks
Badass!!! 🔥🔥🔥
thats great, nice work very robust
This is exactly what I’m wanting to build. Any info, or cad models you’d be willing to share for the main structure?
Nice video, useful thank you.
Hi.. what do you call that water filling systems so i can Google how to make one for my table.. please thanks

@@c2jacks frame is 3x3x.120 wall square tube. Both axis run in linear rails and bearings.
Do you have any plans or a parts list for this build. It's very nice.
Not as of now. I want to make a few changes to it and see how they turn out before I decide if I want to spend the time making actual plans.
What type of drive on the X and Y? Brilliant idea to do the gantry on the long side to save some space.

@@northpeak4x4 Rack and Pinion? Belt? Ball screw? It was hard for me to tell in the video
@Bear's Sh*t sorry. Yes, they are rack and pinion. The rack, pinion, and gear boxes are from automation overstock.
@@northpeak4x4 Thank you!!
Where did you get the rack and pinion from?
Automation-overstock.com
No affiliation at all with them all of the slides and rails came from them as well.
What kind of laptop are you using? Brand, how much memory?
