- A few Mods that make draining/cleaning your table a bit easier.
Summary:
This Overview shows the major components and system function, Follow up Video will go into detail on the Speed Control device.
Mods Covered:
-Splash Guard
-Holding Tanks
-Pond Filter
-Pump
-Speed Controller
-Enlarged Drains
-Drain Manifold
Outer Dimensions of Holding Tanks:
12"w x 12"h x 60"l
Pitch of base plate: 2" Drop.
** Remember, The low point of the first tank must be equal or higher than the high point of the second tank!
Be sure to account for how level your floor is, and any warping in your material.

Feel free to find alternates, specifically the pump! As long as you size the power adapter and speed controller appropriately, using a higher flow pump could be a good thing.
Let me know what you think, and please share any improvements you make to this idea!

Hashtag Goals. Love it, brother!
🙌 Thanks dude!
Air bladder is the way to go imo. But that some serious work well done
Thanks very much! Air Bladder is a solid option for sure, I looked at that and saw a lot of barrels used, didn't seem easy to get them out from under the table for future service/ changes so I whipped this monster up. I have a field service background so maintenance always overrides certain decisions ;)
That’s a seriously badass set up! Super impressed with all of it.
Thanks dude, I don't have a sweet truck resto going on but it's still pretty cool ;)
Nice work. My favorite line is caulk the hell out of it!
Words to live by haha. I regret not addressing the taste though
Nice man! 👌👊
Thanks Corey 👊. Making progress on the follow up, should be this weekend
Looks familiar. Good job. I shortened my slats so the pex can go below the table rail level so I can slide material on and off table. also installing a T fitting inside the water table side allows for more adjustment allowing water in 2 ways and you can turn, spin the T to speed up or slow down flow.
I learned from the Original! ;) Getting water in there multiple ways would be a big help - I've already decided that a higher flow pump is the move but haven't played with it yet. Will your Tee miss the Y Carriage?
@@FoxdogWelding yes it's still at water level. I'll post a update video soon. Shortening the slat length was probably the biggest improvement. I cut a lot of 1/2" and thicker material and it causes the water/ coolant to get really nasty and kinda foamy. The more room you have a long the sides allows for faster flow to get all that yucky mess skimmed off the top.
@@Curtis_Schwoeppe_Enterprises That's great man I'll be looking forward to it. I've thought about cutting pointed slats for passthrough (flow), or even fully perforating them.
worker dream .👍👍
how do u keep it from splashing n the sides, i think my psi is around 65, ive even lowered the water to try and help. have u made anything for squaring sheets on the table
I mostly just accept some clean up, I've thought about splash guards but haven't taken the idea on to paper yet. I'd like to make them removeable, to not interfere with squaring or loading the table. If I'm not cutting a full sheet I'll position the material in the center so the splash doesn't leave the table. I have a shim that I use to square the sheet, but still do it manually. A squaring device is also on the to-do list, how do you do it I'm open to options!
Very nice! Looking at the Langmuir XR now - How did the setup of the Everlast Plasma go with the XR? Looking at the 82i - Thanks!
Plug and Play... in a sense. Do yourself a favor and get the CNC port (from Everlast if I remember correctly?) and a barrel jack plug. Solder 2 wires to the correct pins and it all plugs right in. No promises, but if I can make the time I'll do a quick video on making that cable up
@@FoxdogWelding thanks that would be great! Haven’t seen a video for that.
How does this filter all the crap floating on top after cutting? I'm not sure why you are recirculating fluid because that little surface drain isn't going to allow all the floating stuff down it.
Anything floating is plenty small enough to go down the 1/2" drains. The main problem is getting enough flow in order to cycle most of the surface area. Haven't found a great solution for that, but also haven't been able to work on this system much
@@FoxdogWelding Do you think multiple surface drains would help along the length of the table? My XR is being delivered on Friday so trying to think of a good setup to keep it cleanISH.
@@k2line706 welcome to the xr family! Yes I have one drain on each end, but any along the length will interfere with the carriage. I'm sure there's a way around that but it'd be smaller tubing and a tricky task. A higher flow pump would help and 2 strips of jet tubing would improve the surface flow. Problem is this: doubling the dispersion jet tubing requires double (ish) the pump flow. Which isn't insurmountable in itself, the trouble is getting the drains to supply the pumps with enough volume to not starve them. Increasing the drain sizes to 1" would help a lot but I haven't done the math to verify if that would be enough
So what happened to part 2 of the video?
Planned for End of January, lots of curve balls this year but I do have to get on it - thanks for holding me to my promise 👊
Another Plasma bud of mine is planning a very informative series on tables, I'll be contributing to that and will have my sections posted here with links to his. Release TBD, but filming will start early '24
