Technical Home made 2' x 2' CNC plasma table

Made this small CNC plasma table using mostly off-the-shelf parts from industrial supply houses. Support table is a Rockler tool stand, frame is made from 8020 aluminum extrusions, etc. Also shown are a few shapes I've cut with it.

 

Sweet. that looks like a nifty setup.

Man by my own heart.


Mine is O/A, about 20 years old and one of the best things to have around.
Nice one, Plasmaman, Mike

 

Awesome, why not do a thread on the build. Glen

 

I'll pull some pictures together and do a thread in installments. Might take a few days. Here are a few more cut examples:

 

Pretty cool stuff! I do a lot of stuff on a CNC router. its very similar and alot of FUN isn't. I also like the way you designed your machine and the way you hold the material. Good Job Plasmaman!

 

Took me a minute to find this 18 year-old thread on CNC Zone. The internet is great

I was (am) poor, it is mostly built. Not too much "off the shelf". Mike
