- This is a tool I made from some scrap metal and a few cheap parts. I did buy a magnet, some thrust bearings and a set screw collar. The work was done with a LMS lathe and a MIG welder.
Great design👍
I think that is a good idea.
I really wish I had a garage.
Nice project. Thanks for sharing
beautifully made tool. I should make something similar for my everlast plasma cutter. Funny I haven't had to cut any circles with my plasma cutter but I don't doubt I will need to at some point.
My only concern is if you’re cutting say a pin hole and it needs to be super close it might be hard getting that centered. Maybe if you had a small bar on the bottom to go through a drilled hole in the plate you’re cutting that might help. I like the magnet idea.
not bad , have the same idea in my head but without the magnet dont like that part
I need one of these for my everlast plasma cutter.
How did you fastened the magnet to the tubing
very nice
good job
Great video. Have you cut larger holes? I need to make some rings of 28" diameter, wondering how the magnet would hold
Gatt be i hope it don't work on aluminum. It uses a magnet to hold it in place.
Great video. I really appreciate your detailed description of how you made the tool. Am I correct in assuming that the the smallest diameter circle that you are able to cut in approximately 2" ? Your workmanship is excellent. I wish that I had a lathe so that I could make one as nicely as you have done.
Tom Rumish I'll buy one if you would be willing to sell?
Love the design. Do you happen to have a drawing? I'm trying to figure out how the bearing works since the bottom is screwed to the top.
What size are the thrust bearings? Having a very hard time finding one with a 5/16 or 8mm ID. Do you remember where you got them?
Very nice! I will build the same for me… :o)
That's not how a plasma torch works. The arc turns the compressed air into plasma, which cuts the metal at 50,000 degrees F. It turns metal into vapor and plasma, not liquid.
Felix Su and now I don’t have to write a correction, thanks!
where did u get the container to catch the flames for your plasma table?
+Eddie Regory My plasma cutting table was an old smoker that a friend of mine was going to toss out. I took it and cut off the smoker box on the bottom and welded in some legs with casters. The top I just took the tray that fit into the smoker grill and remove the grill part of it. I then cut a bunch of strips of steel, turned them on their side and tack welded them into the tray to form the work platform. It saves so much mess in that I can lay the metal parts I want to cut on top of the strips and just cut them. The steel dust just collects at the bottom of the grill box. I used to have to clamp the metal with it hanging over the edge of my welding table. Then all the steel dust and slag would just end up all over my floor.
how well does it work with aluminum ?
what kind of magnet is that

This is a lot more compact than some other circle cutters I have seen. I will have to try to make one for my everlast plasma cutter one of these days.
