Home built CNC plasma table Mach3

[Conejodex]

can you reverse run? are you using g28.1 or g31 for initial height sensing? thanks!

[LiteSpeedRC]

how much did it cost you all told?

[notxess66]

Can you show more video of the table and it's construction?

[douro20]

You should be able to use an actual machine torch with that setup.

Sorted out the lead in problem, thanks much neater job;-)

[kevan417]

Thanks for the info, I,ve got a couple of jobs to do today, I'll see if I can sort that out.

[kevan417]

Moved to the outside. I use sheet cam and mach3 but can't seen to do this

[bigtoy302]

@kevan417

That is called your lead in. There is settings under the tool for leadin/out in Sheetcam.

[kevan417]

I noticed when the holes were cut it started in the centre of the hole then

[DeanMrack]

great work. you inspire me, will build, thx.

[davi200]

It looks like just after the cut is started that the torch dives down and actually touches the workpiece, then the THC takes over and adjusts the height. What's up with that? It shouldn't dive like that, should it?

[bigtoy302]

@davi200

It was diving in the video. I have increased the THC delay so It wont dive anymore like that.

Were you buy the powermax 45?

[gregoryscottsr]

This is incouraging

[greenjeens]

I was curious were you purchased the hiwinn rails for the all the axis? I plan to build a similar machine, but on a smaller scale due to the cost of the linear rails.

hi cool look nice your using mach 3 controller

hi im new to MACH 3 controller users , i neet to know if i purchase the controller for plasma & oxy cutting machine i can directly use the controller or i need to do any modifications in contriller ?

and what are the modifications need to be done ,step by step procedures ,please

[bigtoy302]

Go to CandCNC.com and go buy his Bladerunner kit. It has all the electronics in it with the THC and Mach for a good price.

[jdh239]

Using stepper or servo motors? Have a list of parts/manufactures used for the components?

[tsport100]

I'm impressed. I've seen that Z torch height slider elsewhere, is it an off-the-shelf part?

[Jeremyrockjock]

what type of THC are you using?

[bigtoy302]

Candcnc Mp1000

[Jeremyrockjock]

Cool Thanks. Your table looks good.

[baccus61]

Nice job Mate. pretty smooth motion and clean cuts by the look of it.

Make some more vids but a bit closer to the components so we can all have a good look at it as it's nice to look at what others do to overcome some design issues.

Good work.

[bigtoy302]

No plans, I just made it up as I went along. I think I had about $6000 including the Hypertherm.

Did you follow a set of plans? If so, which? What did it cost you to build?
