Thank you. It seems like most RUclipsts don't actually know about plasma cutting, they just act like they do. They never explain peripheral details, and they never critique and examine their own cuts. Very helpful!
I need to use my plasma cutter more. This video makes me wanna go out to the shop at 1:30am and fire up the compressor and start cutting shit up. Maybe I'll try it on a bunch of steel rivets I gotta remove, should be quicker than an angle grinder. Thanks for the tips. I knew most but no one knows everything and sometimes it's good to relearn and be reminded of the things you already do know. That came out jumbled af like im a loon, meh... you're a smart dude, you get it
How big are the rivets?! id personally just grind the tops off and pop them out. keep from damaging the other metal. Plasma could do it, just may make a mess of things.
Unboxing a new plasma cutter for my workshop right now, that ive been wanting to get for a while now, all this sort of troubleshooting stuff is definitely going to help !
@@mikeburns703For sure! Starting out I had the tendency to jump everytime Id start a cut or when sparks flew back towards my face! Takes a while to relax and go smoothly!
Regardless of what you find here on youtube, you'll find its a learning curve like anything else. haha just gotta do it and mess with it. lots of commitment. but usually most things that are worth it are.
@@AustinHargettlol I guess you would call that adaptable to the environment! Everyone I have ever known thats moved to Texas returns with an accent after a few years! I grew up close to Texas so I can transition between both worlds! Lol
Thanks much, this narrows it down for me. I've had my el-cheapo for a few years now and never really had to worry about looks per se for the few times I've needed it, but now I have time to start on my old cars so most of my cuts will be sheet metal so this helps a lot. Any preference on pushing or pulling the nozzle?
I know as far as the cuts go that Ive made that I need to move faster and turn up the amps! I have a tendency to let the cut fuse itself back together in several spots causing me to have to go back and hit it again!

Very helpful!
Thanks for watching! Im not perfect, and i do like to evaluate everything I do to improve the next time.
I like how you learn while on camera with us, critiquing your own work even if it didn't end up like you thought - and trying to figure out why.
I try and keep it real, we actually try and keep all the mistakes. Because its how we all learn

good luck! great addition to the shop
I don't plasma cut that often, so this was a good. Thanks!
Great timing, just got a small plasma and got my air dryer set up to install tomorrow and try it out
excellent!
YES!! Please show how to improve cuts on a CNC plasma cutter. I would like to improve the dross issue.
ill give it a go!
Being close to the right speed is important, but what is more important to consistant nice cuts by hand is SMOOTHNESS.

👍👌thanks for sharing! Keep them coming! Good video! Austin
Thanks for watching Rudy
What I want with thick metals is a nice sharp bandsaw... 😉
Would love to see this for the CNC. I just got one and working to get it up and running
Ill give it a go
GREAT video guy! would really like to see a video on cutting tables!!! i would like to invest in one but dont know much about em

Thx for the tips brother! There is definitely a learning curve to getting nice cuts by hand with a plasma cutter!
Heard you say you’re in Houston. Im a south Texan who now lives in Ohio. ….Thought you’re accent sounded normal
I aint got much of one lol depends who I hang out with. I start sounding more like some one form Michigan when i go north too lol

Before I had access to a CNC Plasma, I used Masonite for cutting templates
What shade lens do you wear?
👍
👍🏻
Hot and fast … all I need to know!
Thats it!
Pretty much the same as oxy.
You betcha
A respirator with a beard, an OSHA no no. Haha. No seal so pretty much useless.
Still better than nothing .
