Nice build. I'm thinkingbof building one but since I'll be using a 20 volt drill motor I'm just going to mount a 20 volt dewalt battery on top. Basically no cords for the traveling motor part of it and no need for the converter just a pw controller. I'm hoping this works, I may have a few bugs to work out.
Looks great. I wonder if you have (or could easily add? ) a reference surface parallel to the cut line? This would allow you to align it accurately square / parallel for accurate cuts...
Good call. The angle iron track is parallel to the cut line and I can index off that to line up the cut. I've considered adding something like a pair of stiff wires bent into "pointers" on either side of the torch holder, but a tape measure from the rails to the scribed cut line works easily enough that I haven't bothered.
awesome video. I'm looking forward to building one of these. the only thing that has me nervous is the wiring. is there a wiring guide or anything that you think could help me?
Thanks! My version was more tedious than complicated - lots of connections to make. It's pretty straightforward once you have the components in front of you. I'm sure a Google or RUclips search of "pulse width modulator" will get you started.
Looks like quite the project. Nice work too! How long did it take you to make this? Also, anything you'd do differently if you were to make it again - or are you overall happy with the way everything turned out?
Thanks, Brian. I honestly can't remember how many hours it took to build... It had been done for quite awhile and been in use in my shop before I finally painted the housing and called it done. Then I procrastinated for awhile before editing! I'm pleased with how it turned out, it works great. One easy improvement would have been longer wires for the remote, though.
There are several of these on RUclips, most with pretty similar designs. I looked at lots of them for inspiration before building mine, and absolutely was inspired by Made in Poland. Where mine differs is having the switch wired into the plasma cutter machine and not the torch handle, and having a remote control. I also drew from Mike Festiva and MakerCave for the electronics.

That is perhaps the most lucid and straight forward how to video I've ever seen.
Thank you. That's very kind of you to take the time to leave such a positive comment.
Thank you sir, well done!
I built essentially the same rig , then found your video. Nice work.
Are you finding a lot of use for yours?
great work

Sounds good, Jesse. Use what you have on-hand for sure.
Very nice video and project!
Nice job. Well done.
great job explain weii enjoyed it !!!!
Nice Job. I'm gonna build one also. Thanks.
