Wondering if you have any thoughts on the depth required for a water table? I built a small CNC machine that I plan to attach a plasma torch to. I've almost got it ready to test but I'm working out a few bugs. The machine itself is made from v-groove aluminum extrusions and running Nema 17 motors. I can easily carry the entire 1000mm x 500mm frame and gantry setup. So it's going to be quite portable. I want to build a water table in the garage so I can place the machine on top of it and do a cut whenever I need to make a part. I was thinking of using an old refrigerator door as a water table. I'm just wondering how thick of a door I need to use to prevent the torch from blasting through it. Checking out your other videos right now and subscribe. Thanks for the info.
A guy I know who made his own table cut the supports just a little long , they have to be bent slightly to fit in there , it kinda makes a wavy look , this way he supports last longer , when he does a lot of straight lines , it wont line up exactly with the supports
These are from SMC. There are several other brands out there. I generally use these types of valves and tubes becasue they are light and easy to install.
Hey Mitch Awesome build! I've been doing a bunch of reconnaissance this week for my future build and thought you might like to know about GreenCut additive for your water issue. The guys at Desert Fabworks LLC Welding did a review of it awhile back that you might be interested in: ruclips.net/video/0qOLoEtcamo/видео.html Thanks for you insight into your build details, Luke
Really nice work on the Plasma Table . Do you still have a PDF of the electrical system available

Where did you get those plastic fittings and small valves

OK. Thanks for the tip!
