Very awesome as always! Two suggestions: Use a controller to automatically alternate the rotation direction for each cut to uncoil your plasma cutter lines. Suspend a longer section of the lead leaving the pulley as to allow the torsion to be distributed over a longer straight line.
Great build and nice workmanship with nothing fancy! Also love that you’re not spending half the video banging your gums and trying to sell things. Much appreciated bro. Subscribed
Just watched this for the first time now... very good attention to detail in your builds, and great use of recycled items/parts. Most impressive is your purely mechanical approach to solving the problem. I think many other makers would not have attempted such a solution, or maybe would have "cheated" using CNC motors or purchased parts specific to the purpose. You even make sure the end result looks as nice as possible and number your builds. Very well done!
We are a group of Italian mechanics and toolmakers have worked together for 30 years ... we've built so many things, even useless ( like a tesla machine ...) we understand you well .... at the lunch break we look your fantastic video. greetings from Italy ...
Just discovered your content last night. Make It Extreme is one of my newest favorite channels on UA-cam! I love the way you make all of your creations look so much like commercial factory produced products. Very imaginative and ingenious!
Brilliant! The only way I could imagine improving on it would be to change the cam follower action to stepper motor control (yeah, a whole lot more involved, true.) For the increased complication you'd get a cutter that can give perfect notches based on inputting pipe diameter as well as the ability to make ANY notch profile you want. But yeah, way more involved, but way more versatile too. All that being said, I would not take ANYTHING away from this design. Brilliant and bulletproof.
Very well designed machine. A lot of work, but what a time saver for pipe and tube fabrication. I missed how you compensate the oval cutting path when the tube is rotated at an angle. Are you just dragging the tip and allowing the arms to flex?
I wondered how they did that too :). Even caught myself imagining some Arduino controlled cutter head with simple ultrasound sensor and some Extreme motorized translation system :D Thinking more simply, leaving the head free with a soft magnet to keep it in contact to the pipe seems sufficient.
I'm pretty sure he kept the axis parallel for this reason. I'm guessing he didn't think that part through before he built the angular adjustment and only later did he realize that it won't work with that setup.
electrician,engineer,welder,machinist,carpenter mechanic Etc! one smart cookie you will always have a job! and nice job on all these fantastic project's!
Love this simple design. I just couldn't take my eyes off that twisting plasma cable. Why did you keep cutting over and over in the same direction? Wouldn't the machine cut the other direction too?
for all those of you wondering about the cable turn, as you can see he did 1 cicle clockwise and the next one counterclockwise, so there is pratically zero risk of damaging the cable!
+asasial1977 Sorry, but you are misinformed and incorrect. Please stop repeating incorrect info. Inside the outer sheath there is a gas tube (air), a power conductor plus a multiconductor control and sense cable. High current and some high end units also have a pair of cooling tubes.
OMG, there are a few people on UA-cam that just 'raise the bar' - you are definitely in that class, fantastic. Question: In the early part the motor appears to be a wiper motor (I think) and towards the end, there is a completely different motor. What is that one? Keep up the great work.
If you added a rod to the larger pulley that would swing past the on/off switch and clicked it off as it finished its 360* rotation would you eliminate the need to babysit all your cuts?
You are Avery practical fabricator. Like the blacksmiths , and gun smooths of yesteryear. Most people have no idea how things are made , let alone how the machines that made them are made.
It's funny when you watch videos on youtube and you see something and immediately know that the comment section is gonna flood with the same question over and over again
I love your builds and finish, very proffessional looking. Guess you will have to be careful not to damage the supply wire and air cable due to constant twisting, but awesome build. Thank you 😁
Guys....you dudes blow my fucking mind. Every time i watch I shake my head in amazement at what you fellas do. It's great to watch young people just go kick ass like you guys do. Don't know what country you are in but congratulations on what you do.
work piece moving would eliminate cable twist BUT would present an entire new set of issues, like what if you're cutting 20' 24' or 40' pieces of iron. Your machine just got a lot larger. Id guess they went this route because the cable twist is easier to manage.
its not that big of a piece of equipment to do it the other way. I have a rotating stand with a long cable that hooks to the motor. And roller stand to support the other end. and when Im done they both get moved back out of the way.
This is the first time seeing channel, but I want you to know that I have spent a lot of time on you tube, and I truly think this thing is great, and it's not so complicated like a lot of builds are, that most people could actually use this, and have the ability to construct it ... So many applications really. Good for you man.... I subscribed, and I look forward to your past videos, and especially the upcoming ones :-)
Did IQ's drop overnight on UA-cam, everyone is screaming about the cable twist but the motor spins in either direction, if he does one cut one way he can then do the next in the opposite direction. Awesome video, great idea, love your approach to a problem. This seems perfect for mass production, but it can be versatile enough for small projects.
Very nice piece of equipment.. is there some sort mechanical or electrical interlock that would stop the machine from doing too many say clockwise cuts before it has to operate anti clock wise, to prevent the cable getting so twisted up that it damaged it?
This is soo good... this will help me 100% in my future workplace. Just one thing, is somehow possible to use differend tope of backplates so you can make 45 and 30 angles?
How do you adjust the plasma cutter's head when you want to cut small diameter of a tube? fantastic machine. I would love to see you to build a Chopper motorcycle frame with your toys !!!
Awesome work! Its just amazing to see the things you people come up with. Really impressed. Wish you made easier to understand documentation on your website for us slow people to understand. Current ones are unclear and jump steps
If cable fatigue is an issue clamp it so that it does not twist on axis and then form it into a large loop at the back of the machine (like a watch spring) then operate back and forth as you have done.
Hooolly shit... I just can't understand why you don't have at least 2 million followers. You HAVE to be an alien or something... Every single piece of contraption / machine is utterly GENIUS! Awesome! :)
A little bit of relay/switching control, and it can stop or reverse direction automatically after a full rotation. Quick and easy, it should fit right in the control box, as it sits now. So cool.
No ablo inglés es el mejor canal de UA-cam que e visto en mi país No ay ninguna máquina así quisiera poder construir alguna , pero me conformo ver a un maestro mecánico sigan así 🙋👍✌
You could add a limit switch that would stop it after a rotation and trigger it to counter rotate until it tripped the switch again. Simple and removes the need to babysit it and deal with the wire problems. I suppose it would also have to cut power to the cutter.
very nice, next step would be cnc control... only problem is that it seems to lack orientation and the angle part seems like you have to eyeball it. do you come from latin america?
What problem have you met with making rotary pipe instead of cutter? I think the cutter can move in axis parallel to pipe and pipe rotates. Such machine can be even CNC upgradeable. Is there some detail hard to do?
I like this plasma cutter notcher but I think it would also be cool if the pipe went through the mechanism and the plasma cutter could cut down the length of the pipe. Can you think of some uses for something like this?
for a simple limit switch drill and tap a hole into the large flywheel near the outside and put a bolt into it so it sticks out of the flywheel by 1 inch then mount a small toggle switch and stick a 2 inch piece of rubber tube (fuel line) onto the switch and mount it so the bolt will flip the switch when it rotates. you can even adjust the size of rubber tube and how far the switch is from the bolt too make the cutter go slightly farther then 360 degrees. if you get a on-off-on switch then you can hook it up to relays (or whats in your controller box) to make it go back and forth.
Awesome piece of engineering. I hope you make enough money to stay self employed and not making money for someone else because your talent is unmatched by most. Keep up the great work!
Very cool (or hot) idea, you are very talented. The only thing that concerns me is the plasma torch's tube turning inside the mount. Could it become brittle over time and possibly leak? Would it be possible to turn the work piece and cam that instead therefore keeping the torch static? I was thinking of a company I've made tooling for in the past, they make go carts and cut a lot of pipe. Something like your design would definitely help speed up their work flow.
The curved removable pieces, the ones that make the cutter move up and down, are they universal? Or do you have to change them for different diameters?
Amazing talent. I was wondering if a plasma cutter could cut through already varnished 3mm thick cabinets without making a mess and burning the varnish? Is there a way to cover the surface to protect the varnish. 2mm around the edge will be covered by the equipment installed.
It would be cool if he added a brush and pad design so that it could continuously rotate, but he would have to add a rotatable gas coupler too. So for simplicity sake, he could just cut one way and then the other.
Great idea & video. Can you make adjustments on the plasma nozzle bracket so you can cut a certain degree for thicker metal? That will also be bad ass! Keep making videos brothers.
I hope you enjoy this video! :) Tell us your thoughts!
Make it Extreme cool!!
Make it Extreme The best channel on UA-cam... please... make a CNC plasma cutting next....
You need something to brand your machines, better than stickers, like an engraver. I'm sure you can come up with a simple Extreme solution.
Make it Extreme I need a water jet
how long have you had your cut50 plasma cutter?
Very awesome as always!
Two suggestions:
Use a controller to automatically alternate the rotation direction for each cut to uncoil your plasma cutter lines.

you must have the most capable workshop. I've watched you build some amazing things. keep it up
You guys are on a roll ... the last 3 builds have been OUTSTANDING ... and the editing & camera work on this one, was way COOL.
We are a group of Italian mechanics and toolmakers have worked together for 30 years ... we've built so many things, even useless ( like a tesla machine ...) we understand you well .... at the lunch break we look your fantastic video. greetings from Italy ...
Very creative and resourceful!

If someone is inclined to fabricate equipments, devices and machines, your channel is the guide line....Bravo!
That is fantastic!!! Brilliant channel guys!
the Hacksmith This guy is awsome!
Thank you! :)
Make it Extreme respect !!!!
you are really the extreme!good job! every work like a piece of arts,indeed.
GOD! If only other videos were edited and sped up as well as this one....Kudos to both the engineering and the videography!
Thanks for the ingenuity..

AKA Nathan An Arduino controlled one with angle and diameter adjustments would be amazing!
Better yet: rotate the pipe while the cutter moves back and forth driven by an arduino controlled steeper motor drive. "Done". (mic drop)
I'm pretty sure he kept the axis parallel for this reason. I'm guessing he didn't think that part through before he built the angular adjustment and only later did he realize that it won't work with that setup.
this easily the best channel on UA-cam. You guys come up with the most entertaining builds around.
Thank you so much for the kind words! :)
the wire of the plasma cutter, wouldnt it be destroyed after a while? because of the rotation?
Giwrgos Blasiadis cut one way, then the other.
there are no wires in a plasma cutter except the trigger which with this setup the trigger is not on the head.
asasial1977 the air line and the cable that carries the power for cutting
I'm sure the people who made this are intelligent enough to have thought about the wire.
no because the wire is running through the middle of the spinnin thing so it dont
Twists

Love this simple design. I just couldn't take my eyes off that twisting plasma cable. Why did you keep cutting over and over in the same direction? Wouldn't the machine cut the other direction too?
Shawn Crocker clearly you didn’t watch all of the video. It cuts both ways
@@LostBoyDieselPig Wouldn't be hard to add a couple of limit switches so that it alternates between cutting directions.
I believe you are the most complete builder in UA-cam.
for all those of you wondering about the cable turn, as you can see he did 1 cicle clockwise and the next one counterclockwise, so there is pratically zero risk of damaging the cable!
there is no cable in a plasma cutter, only a rubber hose
Really? Explain to us how that works.
asasial1977 Of course there is cable, the plasma is electrically generated at the tip. Source: I own a plasma cutter.
+asasial1977
Sorry, but you are misinformed and incorrect.
Please stop repeating incorrect info.
Inside the outer sheath there is a gas tube (air), a power conductor plus a multiconductor control and sense cable.
High current and some high end units also have a pair of cooling tubes.
How would that make a diffrence? A hose would also break if twisted too much.
OMG, there are a few people on UA-cam that just 'raise the bar' - you are definitely in that class, fantastic. Question: In the early part the motor appears to be a wiper motor (I think) and towards the end, there is a completely different motor. What is that one? Keep up the great work.
👍👍👍
:)
I need one for my powerplasma. Great job
really the name deserves make it extreme
you guys are really amazing for creativity and knowledge about all the works
If you added a rod to the larger pulley that would swing past the on/off switch and clicked it off as it finished its 360* rotation would you eliminate the need to babysit all your cuts?
set it and forget it
This build is F***ing amazing!........your skills are on another level. I cant get enough of this channel...
This is great... and I had no idea what a "notcher" was until the end 🤓👍🏼
Thank you!
You are Avery practical fabricator. Like the blacksmiths , and gun smooths of yesteryear. Most people have no idea how things are made , let alone how the machines that made them are made.
How long do your projects usually take from design to finish?
this type of things make this channel so awesome
Thank you!
this is my favorite channel. dam* hot projects!
Thank you very much! :)
Probably the best channel about making tools and cool stuffs.
You guys never stop amazing us!
Cheers!!!
It's funny when you watch videos on youtube and you see something and immediately know that the comment section is gonna flood with the same question over and over again
Après avoir vu une grande partie de tes vidéos, en tant que soudeur je te félicite pour toute tes oeuvres que je trouve excellente. Bravo.
I love your builds and finish, very proffessional looking.
Guess you will have to be careful not to damage the supply wire and air cable due to constant twisting, but awesome build.
Thank you 😁
Guys....you dudes blow my fucking mind. Every time i watch I shake my head in amazement at what you fellas do. It's great to watch young people just go kick ass like you guys do. Don't know what country you are in but congratulations on what you do.
the design has a flaw that allows too much cable twist better than the workpiece moves rather than the cutter
Perry Daniels You just need to keep an eye on it.
work piece moving would eliminate cable twist BUT would present an entire new set of issues, like what if you're cutting 20' 24' or 40' pieces of iron. Your machine just got a lot larger. Id guess they went this route because the cable twist is easier to manage.
Better to have to watch the cable twist than trying to rotate a 10 meter length of pipe with a bend in it.
exactly
its not that big of a piece of equipment to do it the other way. I have a rotating stand with a long cable that hooks to the motor. And roller stand to support the other end. and when Im done they both get moved back out of the way.

can build a Power Hammer plz @Make it Extreme
You guys are amazing... Love watching your stuff... Thx from all of us that don't have your skills but love watching a master...
FANTASTICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oooooo
you are one of best genius i follow in youtube . respect from algeria
One more time bro I see that you have amazing ideas and you are fken PRO
Thank you brother! :)
Серега Неоткуда
Does an excellent job machining the various detailed parts, then eyeballs the main spinning element before welding.
Probably wouldn't have hurt to implement some mechanism to prevent the wire from getting twisted too much in one direction
Every time you use it you make it go the other way.
You guys are making yourself a very nice shop and making money while doing it. GENUIS!
Thank you!
Fajny pomysł
Mateusz Zgadzam się
The guy below with the idea to rotate the pipe and keep cutter stationary is the best idea.
5:00 Orbital f*cking machine? xD
Yeah, you know how there are over 9000 genders and that?
Some of them require some really weird motions.
Did IQ's drop overnight on UA-cam, everyone is screaming about the cable twist but the motor spins in either direction, if he does one cut one way he can then do the next in the opposite direction.
Awesome video, great idea, love your approach to a problem. This seems perfect for mass production, but it can be versatile enough for small projects.

man... you got lots of talent, lots of idea and lots of tools :) you are inspiring me to do what you do
This is soo good... this will help me 100% in my future workplace. Just one thing, is somehow possible to use differend tope of backplates so you can make 45 and 30 angles?
Wish I had this garage full of equipment. What an awesome way to spend retirement!The first thing i would add is a Miller Sychrowave 350
Every time I watch your videos, I get more and more amazed!
Thank you! :)
OOhhh thats a really cool machine. when you add the rounded plates my mind went OOoooOOOohhhh. Very nice work.
How do you adjust the plasma cutter's head when you want to cut small diameter of a tube? fantastic machine. I would love to see you to build a Chopper motorcycle frame with your toys !!!
Awesome work! Its just amazing to see the things you people come up with. Really impressed.

The technology that came before CNC, very impressive. The OG machine programming
If cable fatigue is an issue clamp it so that it does not twist on axis and then form it into a large loop at the back of the machine (like a watch spring) then operate back and forth as you have done.
Brilliant. That thing is insane. I'm hoping this was built for some crazy monster build.
Thank you Brian! :)
Beautiful tool.
Any way you can add auto shut off after one rotation, and next run will always be in the opposition direction?
Amazing the things you can make if you have the right equipment.
Very Inspiring build. Thanks for making this video.
Thanks for watching!
OMG where you take all of these ideas?? The notcher is extremely cool!
Hooolly shit... I just can't understand why you don't have at least 2 million followers. You HAVE to be an alien or something... Every single piece of contraption / machine is utterly GENIUS! Awesome! :)

Way too cool! Your projects are a real inspiration to the innovative spirit in us.
You could add a limit switch that would stop it after a rotation and trigger it to counter rotate until it tripped the switch again. Simple and removes the need to babysit it and deal with the wire problems. I suppose it would also have to cut power to the cutter.
Would you need to use different guides for the follower to run on for each diameter of tube you cut? or does the one pair give you a close-enough fit?
very nice, next step would be cnc control... only problem is that it seems to lack orientation and the angle part seems like you have to eyeball it. do you come from latin america?
Wow it's quite impressive tool you made man!
not only do you have some amazing ideas ! but your also make it happen !
Thank you! :)
Very slick...love the smooth controls you have on it...is that AC motor control?
mike dee Looks like a screen wiper motor.
What problem have you met with making rotary pipe instead of cutter? I think the cutter can move in axis parallel to pipe and pipe rotates. Such machine can be even CNC upgradeable. Is there some detail hard to do?
How does the cutting head allow or adjust for different diameters? Also when cutting on an angle, how does it allow for the stock being off center?
Very skilled craftsman.
I love working with the mind/hands connection.
Well done..👏👍
I like this plasma cutter notcher but I think it would also be cool if the pipe went through the mechanism and the plasma cutter could cut down the length of the pipe. Can you think of some uses for something like this?

this truly IS extreme!watched with eyes wide and mouth agape...thanks,it was certainly fun!
Awesome piece of engineering. I hope you make enough money to stay self employed and not making money for someone else because your talent is unmatched by most. Keep up the great work!
Awesome video. Can it bevel the end of a pipe or can you make a modification to do beveling?
Most impressive creation yet!! Well engineered and very handy. Hell yeah!!
Thank you!
Hi, nice work. How do you adjust for different diameter tube? Make new dies?
Very cool (or hot) idea, you are very talented. The only thing that concerns me is the plasma torch's tube turning inside the mount. Could it become brittle over time and possibly leak?

Another awesome project and the way is created as video clip is just amazing. I love to watch your project's.So impressive and inspiring. Thanks
I wonder if it would be a good (or bad) idea to use a twistable linkage like you get on a pushbike break line on the plasma cutter cable
Pretty cool stuff!
Thank you!
Amazing talent.
I was wondering if a plasma cutter could cut through already varnished 3mm thick cabinets without making a mess and burning the varnish?
Is there a way to cover the surface to protect the varnish.
2mm around the edge will be covered by the equipment installed.
Ha ha, I like it. I've built myself a big CNC plasma table but I still love seeing such great creativity.
Thanks for the video.
does the hose not keep getting twisted without reversing every other time. great job though.
It would be cool if he added a brush and pad design so that it could continuously rotate, but he would have to add a rotatable gas coupler too. So for simplicity sake, he could just cut one way and then the other.
Great video. How is that Cut 50 working out so far?
mate that was impressive can you fit pipes on 45 degrees and everything in between. it does a fantastic job on right angles
nice idea, great fabrication skills, only concern is the rotation of the cable on the plasma cutter! but great job.
Hi, very good eng designed. What do you use plasma's cutting tip isn't it?
This one is definitely awesome. Where is the guy that makes the CAD models. I feel very tempted to make this one.
Great idea & video. Can you make adjustments on the plasma nozzle bracket so you can cut a certain degree for thicker metal? That will also be bad ass! Keep making videos brothers.
Thank you! :)
this channel is going up in every single way..
my best channel ever..
good job man...👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much! :)
Awesome build and a very useful machine. Do you offer build plans people can buy?
