Hey folks Esther and I are taking a little break, yeah this is an old video but I hope you folks enjoy it.
You deserve a break, but we would like to see you mow the lawn in flip flops and shorts. 🤣
These old videos are now historical documentation of what was.
Now you move forward and create the new history that we all can be part of.
You may have your private moments, which is understandable, but to me you’re showing great strength.
Like, share and keep looking forward.
Well deserved break !!
Have a great break
Well deserved I'd say..not a problem watchin it ..
Brent, during this hard time for you, you have been surprised and overwhelmed about how much support we all are giving you. This is the perfect example of why WE ALL SUPPORT YOU! You took it upon yourself to create an affordable system for us to be able to purchase and use because you saw the need for it and wanted to help us out. You have gone way above and beyond to put this together without it being for profit and a sales pitch. You are the best out there and we all want to see you back to normal as soon as possible. Wishing the best to you and Esther (and the dogs) Thank you for all you do!
Goes to show you care about folks. No up sell to purchase plans, no unreal expectations. Thanks for sharing and revisiting a great DIY tool👍
As a professional cnc plasma cutting machine operator (retired), I recommend using the highest current setting for best operation at any thickness. Low current means you will have to cut with slower rate of travel for all thicknesses. best speed/cut quality will be found (on units such as yours) at the highest settings. Industrial machines are usually run at full current to maximize cutting speed and minimize slag.
You're a heck of a lot smarter than you think you are brent!!!
I think what you are doing is very cool. Trying to help other people out with their shop, even though you are going through a lot right now. It speaks volumes as to the type of man you are. Hats off to you sir. Love your videos.
At 19:30 the loss of cutting coinciding with the compressor kicking on is no coincidence. I had the same problem. My work around was to put a pressure regulator at the plasma cutter. Fill up the compressor and then turn it off so it can't kick on mid cut cycle. I watch the air regulator pressure at the plasma cutter. I take educated guesses as to how much I can cut before I need to hold cutting and pump up the compressor again. It's a procedural PITA but it solved the loss of cutting issue.
Thank you for showing the complete process of making the cnc plasma cutter. This is exactly the how-to that I was looking for. I also appreciate you showing a quality plasma unit versus the cheap one.
Thanks for showing the unit. Looking forward to the future builds and stuff. 👍
That was just too cool. I love homemade cheap stuff! For most I feel that isa big enough table to have. Small brackets is mostly what you end up making most times. Very well executed. Thanks.
Great..... something else I need to build!! Lol
Brent, thanks for taking some of the mystery out of this! I hope you and the family are getting things sorted out and hopefully the ins co. isn't giving you too much grief.
Brent and Esther never fail to admire your attitude and you are a genius!I'm very envy all the amazing cars you save and make awesome! It's a positive to opening new gear and setting up ,big hugs to you two and family 😊
I look forward to your videos every week, whether they are old or new. It's such a treat to hear your banter and knowledge through these videos.
Once I get the shop expanded this year, I'll be digging back into this video. Thanks, Brent. Y'all are appreciated, brother.
You guys take all the time you need. Good luck with the process of rebuilding!!
Thank you for all your great videos!
Really cool, easy to follow guide for the do it yourselfer. I'm forwarding a link to my son who has recently expressed an interest in a plasma table of his own for some hobby stuff. Thanks Brent!
Dang you are a clever fella Brent. It’s great that you can modify things to work for your given situation.
Hey Brent,
I love this video. I’m savvy enough to figure this out (I’ve built my own 3D printers from scratch, etc), but I still learnt stuff and appreciate that you’ve thought about this and shared with the community.
Hope you guys have a great but if time away from the cameras to recharge!!! All the best
Dude, thank you for inspiring all of us out here in RUclips land. I'm trying to diy some artistic metal guitar parts but not sure which route to take. I already have an older Powertherm plasma cutter but not sure stencils are going to get those small and tight corners. Cheers for showing us what is possible!
Almost hard to watch knowing what happened to the shop, but awesome video as usual!
I know... so many things in the background are gone.
What happened ?
@dougdunham7607 what happened?
Fantastic video! just what I have been looking for. thanks for putting it together and running through it step by step. 👍👍
Great video, great detail. With all you have going on, you are still putting out videos to help others! Thank youi!! I hope you and Esther have a great break and get rested up.
It maybe a old video, but it's very informative. The fact that you took the time to put it out for us speaks volumes about you. I'm impressed with you to do this for us . Take your time and do what you have to do. Again thank you.
This video gave me the “kick” I needed to get a start in the cnc plasma cutting world. I’m grateful for the motivation. 😁
Brent you master I might try that myself, im an old mechanic but the way you explained anyone with a bit of care can do it we owe you brent, even without your shop you entertain and educate brilliantly, thanks again to you and Esther
When you first mentioned this I thought it was a great idea ! Always good to see a Halfass kustoms notification! Makes my day
I think we all understand. Rest up. We all appreciate you and the stuff you do. Thank you for going out of your way to build this and show us how simple it is.
I don't need a plasma cnc cutter but now I want one. You did a pretty good job explaining and showing what you did. Quite the task considering what you made. Very handy and cool to have.
Congrats on your new table keep up the good work many prayers for a great return
So glad you built a time machine and got your shop back!
Thanks Brent! Its awesome for a small scale plasma table.
At the end, i get the wire thing now, to keep pilot arc consistent. Ring terminal was brilliant!
I'm surprised I hadn't seen this one yet.Thank you Brent. Love it👍👍
If anyone deserves a break, it's you and Esther....thanks for sharing this video 😎👍
Love your positive attitude, incredible the advancements in technology over the last ten years.
Great job 👍 thanks for sharing the build!
You are an inspiration in many ways. Fantastic.
Great to see u getting back on track Brent well done!
Great video Brent! I have a cnc router and was planning on doing the same. Loved the mods you did. There is a plasma torch that is designed for cnc work - it is vertical and may be easier to impliment than the one that comes with the cheapo plasma cutters. Loved the fact you gave us the speeds and feeds, thanks! Thumbs up and subscribed.
Great video Brent. Thank you for taking the time to show folks how to make some còol tools to help them save money.
This is one great do-it-yourself video, thank you!
Spectacular. Great video. Everything should be useful to any one wanting to try this. Thanks for doing this. Pablo looks so thrilled with the whole thing!! Be safe and stay well.
I want to make one !!! Pretty cool as always great job Brent !!!
Been using lasers for a couple years now. Thank you for showing this process! I’ve been wanting a Cnc plasma cutter for a while now
Thanks for breaking that down for us. After watching this I am confident I can do this! Thanks Brent!!
Oh wow, I did not realize how home sick I am for the old shop. This was good in so many ways but seeing Brent doing this in his old shop was a gas. I know I can go back and watch old shows but this was different than that. Another mind expanding DIY from the man!
I have a small langmar cnc and your video is really helping with some setup problems and cut issues I needed help on thanks
Let me tell you.. Your the only damn person who actually cares to do this for us... And have watched countless videos of how to do this and everyone who made one ends up marking it up and selling for 4k.. Thank you for the effort and time to provide this to us.. Love this channel... 😊
Very helpful information for a guy who isn't familiar with computer stuff. Very good. Nice to see the shop again and sorry for your loss.
Thanks Brent on showing-us all how the cnc plasma table works. all the best to all and ur dogs.. lv from florida
That was one of the best DIY post I have seen, nice job and thank you for the info, I feel a new project coming soon.
This was GREAT!! You sir are a genius!! You have so much knowledge and I suspect it is all self taught. It is rare that a person has the depth of know how that you possess but you utilize it well. Thanks for passing all of this on as well.
My dad watches your videos daily. Was sitting in the living room and seen you make a hatchet man on his TV! Looks like you have yourself a new subscriber now
Awesome. I think you did great. Me and my buddy have been wanting to do this for a while because we have been building go karts and making our own parts. You have simplified this so perfectly. Dude!! Thanks
Thanks again Brent, old smold, it doesn't matter. Worth a second watch. You sir are a great help to those trying something new on a budget. Hope you enjoy a few days off. We'll see you next time.
Keep your chin up your an awesome mechanic. I can't believe how well you are making the best of the bad situation.
This is exactly the video I’ve been hoping for!
Thanks Brent
This right here is why you are my favorite channel! You are a wonderful person thanks for the idea!
Great job explaining it. I’m a Lightburn user. Pretty easy to use after a short learning curve. Lots of videos on how to master the software.
What a brilliant idea. If this one didnt get destroyed in the fire, I would try to suspend the hose to the plasma as much as I can to remove the weight and friction so those light motors will work better.
haha yeah it's a goner.
This is brilliant... thanks so much for explaining all the details. I'm definitely going to make one myself
Brent, glad you are back in business, love the videos
Wow thank you Brent for this very cool informative video. It’s the best when you can make an amazing machine from other tools.
After doing metal work for years I am super intrigued. I used to think the flame a graph was amazing but now…..
Was a sad to see the shop though..
Good effort on combining these two items 👏
Thanks for showing your strength in time of need and surviving for another day. Hats off to your Brent and Esther for showing you car your your watchers
that was such a great video Brent, thanks for taking the time to share it with us ... i guess this prototype didn't survive, but i'll bet next one will even be better ...👍🏼💕🍺
I always enjoy your video's even if I've seen them before.Sometimes forget this or that and it refreshes my memory.
I hope you have an enjoyable time off and refresh.
I can't imagine going thru what you folks have gone thru lately.
I wish you the best dealing with your insurance company.
Just found this channel and I freaking love it ❤ ordering my parts now I’ve been needing a table and was always scared of the prices but this is amazing. Thank you
How did our go?
Great video Brent. I learned something new. I think I can manage to do this. I appreciate the how to video to simplify things. Thanks for sharing.
ive been waiting for this one a long time , thank you ! im familiar with lightburn so it should be ok . i have 3 diode lasers and converting one to plasma thanks to you !
Watching this video, emphasized for me, just how much you' ve lost in the fire. Watching you regularly, I could see all of your equipment, but, things get lost in the background of the project you are working on. I can't begin to imagine the roller coaster of emotions you and Esther are riding. Like all of your subscribers, I'll watch whatever content you can put out for us.
Brent, I’m really impressed and that’s a fact. You’ve just gone through hell itself, taken a beating and after a lightning quick clear up, have already come bouncing back with a really useful episode, not just successfully experimenting, but thinking of what other people might find useful. Man… hats off, that’s an admirable, admirable attitude. No wonder so many people took you to their hearts and really tried to help you through. Isn’t that just what’s needed most in these tortured times.
Great video fellow Manitoban! I am starting my own cnc plasma build this week! Thanks for proving I'm not crazy lol
Loved the video. I recently purchased a laser engraver and in a learning curve. The plasma cutter is a great idea!
Great rig Brent, simple and very affordable Thanks.
You and Esther deserve a break. Yall take it easy, I guarantee we will be here ready.
Just found your site. Very good. Nice to see a regular guy on RUclips. I am going to try out this plasma table. Thanks a lot for figuring it all out. I was a heavy duty mechanic for over 40 years. Now I'm done, but I still like to play.
It is pretty nice to see you getting back on your feet and laughing again. My Best regards
I'm so glad I found this video. I was wondering if this was possible, as I had the same thought of using a Ebay/Amazon laser cnc. Good job. I think I'll be chancing it my self and trying to build this exact unit.
After getting a smaller laser engraver some years ago I had considered this as a possible cheap way in but was not sure if the drive system would take the weight and drag of the plasma gun, you have shown me it can! I have bookmarked this video, I have the plasma cutter already I just need to think up a way of making space and the time to set myself up to do this! Thankyou for all the info on software and basic settings.
Pays homage to the old shop.. sheds a tear for all the tools .
As someone with no real need for a plasma table, I've been wanting one for years. Very cool video.
Now I have a better understanding of what you are doing when you make parts. Excellent vid. Thankis
Cool demonstration and info on plasma cutter on the cheap. You explain everything pretty well. Thanks for the info.
Yeah... almost... or does hurt. I mean seeing and remembering how it was...
And suddenly, we can all have a cnc plasma table. How bloody brilliant!
my hat off to you, and i thought you're just a simple mechanic .you are a master jack of all trades.
You know you have some great builds that happened long ago enough that they could be replayed and put em out again (38 Pontiac comes to mind). As long as they were declared as replay not new I don’t think anyone who’s seen em would mind and maybe give some new viewers a chance to get caught up. Your stuff is so good I like to rewatch em anyway. Wish I had 10% of your talent and humor. And the chance to support the cardboard cad supplies wish you.
Thanks for this video. Ordered a laser and just modded it today! Super excited with the results of my test cuts. Now just gotta make a table for it and fine tune some settings
I've been looking forward to this video. I'm definitely going to attempt this ( especially since I was one of the people asking for you to do this)
I remember the video, as I did a cad program in tech school. I struggled hard for a bit with auto cad 11.5. Now that there are freeware programs, much much easier to do simple stuff and when its really cooking in your noggin, no limits ... just make it! I pray things are going as best as possible Brent. Give Ester a great hug from admirer in alaska... I love all of ya
I love it. I've got an interest in plasma cutting tables but not really a demand to justify the cost or the room in the shop for one. This video solves both issues.
Thanks and enjoy your break, we'll be here.
Makes me want to spend money. Great content and this afternoon I went to the grocery and nest door a sign saying Harbor Freight coming soon on the storefront. 5 mile from my shop. Have a great day and hope all is getting better. Many prayers for you on you're adventure at this time here on the big blue marble
Wow amazing vid. I will save for future reference cause I’ve been wanting a CNC I also shared this with a friend! I’ve been looking at budget friendly plasma cutters and have one in my Amazon basket waiting to see if a lower price change happens, so this vid is perfect timing.
Keep your head up and build bigger and better. ❤❤❤
Hi again Halfass Kustoms Brent and Esther from here in the D Michigan hey the Motor city 😁 Thanks so much appreciated Brent for your time and video of how to build a CNC Plasma cutter 🔥🤩👍 Awesome
Brent, you are a magician. Great job creating a funtionable plasme and CNC bombinatio. I will styart on my own after the holidays. By the way, I am glad to see a shop that looks like my own. Merry Christmas to you.....and your family.. 🎄
Looks like fun and the cool factor is undeniable. Thanks for this.
I can't say enough how you simply explain things, so I won't. Suffice to say, looking forward to your next video. Thanks and wish you all the best. Cheers!
Very nice presentation, even a guy like me could follow along. Some day I would like to try this. To me it looks like fun.
We love you guys enjoy your time together.
Great presentation! I've built a laser engraver from scratch and this looks like an easy route to small part fab for me. Most of my cuts will be ten gage or smaller in thickness, so my Chinese plasma cutter should be fine. I've ordered the extrusion for my build and aleady have the electronics and servos for it. You now have a new subscriber to your channel. Thanks
0:23; Of course you figured out how to put it all together, Mr. IT guy!! Thank you for sharing. I hope everything keeps going golden, ay.
Glad you're back i've been waiting to see more of your video's ❤
