If you are planning on purchasing or building a CNC plasma table, you need to take several critical infrastructure requirements into consideration before you make a commitment. These items can easily triple the cost of your investment.
Don't forget adequate power infrastructure too! A lot of older shops aren't wired for the power required.. Great video!! I wish I had a new shop and a plasma table setup!
Great information Frank! Your method of planning, simplicity of assembly and function, and skill in design and tooling are within the original cub cadet way. International would have been proud. Thanks for sharing your projects on these under rated and forgotten garden tractors. I like the originals but you have shown that hydrostatic was a game changer.
I've included a few minutes of Fusion 360 on a couple recent videos (episodes 8 and 12). Well, 12 hasn't published yet. Coming next week. I'm no expert but perhaps that's an idea for a future video.
What you mean I cant build a Plasma Table for $200 😂 Good solid video on the 'actual' bits needed. Engine hoist and a Magnetic lifter (or two with a linking bar with thinner stock to avoid peeling from the magnet) is a good option too.
I actually was planning to use my engine hoist initially, then decided to go with the jib crane as it takes up so much less room. The engine hoist is very unwieldy to use in a crowded shop.
@@woodandmetalshoptime8048 It really depends on making the gear to suit it's extended feet to go underneath if needed. In an ideal world we would all have room for overhead gantry cranes in our home shops😉
