My website to buy some of the custom metal parts: toshdavis.com/...
I've started to sell some of the parts to make the build easier for you.
Part 2 of a series on how to build a CNC plasma cutter table. All the parts are complete. Check out my playlist for the build below. In this video, I am building the moving parts of the CNC table. Some back story this is my 3rd build of a CNC plasma table. The first build you see in this video, while the second one I made was for a friend, featured in the THC video on my channel. This design is based on the design I designed for my friend. Hope this video helps.

Notes:
* These are the linear rails I bought, though because I don't have space in my shop I have to keep my machine outside and these rails have rusted, just keep this in mind
** I know the linked Stepper Motor Driver is unavailable. I just wanted to link the exact one I used. The second link is a driver that looks similar, I just have not used it so can't guarantee anything
2 things:
1st - thank you for this. These videos are quite a bit of work. Thank you for sharing.
2nd - you're getting so much better in doing these. Congratulations.
Thank you!
A big "Thank you" for all your work on these videos!
My pleasure!
Thank you Bro. Very simple and to the point.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
genial amigos esto es increible, lo he estado pensando mucho y creo que voy a tratar de construirlo exelente gracias por compartir
Glad to hear it!
Great videos. Very informative. Thank you. One request, The music is distracting the videos Don't need them.
Okay, noted thank you. In my latest video I did use less music.
you earn your like mate , Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
legend! great vids currently building mine!
Thanks! Sweet glad to hear it
gracias por compartir los planos, excelente trabajo
Thanks for sharing. Genius.
Glad it was helpful!
Great job very well presented good insight
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for your video
great job
Thank you! Glad you like it
Amazing thanks for all the information and free plans, I will definitely build it :)
Awesome! Glad they are helpful

Thank you!
Great video mate. Love your work.
Thank you!
my laptop does not have a parallel port. can i use a USB to parallel a adaptor or just use an Arduino?
I don’t think the adapter works. There are options to use Arduino instead but I have no experience with that. You wouldn’t being using Mach3 if you used Arduino it would be some other program
Nice 👌
couple of questions if ya don't mind, how come you went with steel on the cross slide and brace setup vs. alloy? Would bolting the cross brace setup instead of welding it be a better option if one did go with alloy?
Sorry for the late response. Honestly I think it just came down to price. I could pick up the steel from a lot cheaper then buying an alloy and bolting together. I also don't use the machine at super high speeds because my plasma cutter isn't powerful enough to cut at high speeds and also most of the material I cut is around 1/8" - 3/16". And so it's thicker. the fastest speeds I normally cut at is like 120 in/min which is fine. At those speeds though you can tell the machine is struggling with the mass of the gantry, but again I don't use those speeds a lot so it doesn't matter too much. But the bolting would probably be better if you are looking for higher speeds.
"grinded the weld" -> "ground the weld"
grinded is not a word
(cool plasma table though)
Thank you for watching and caring enough to correct my grammar. I appreciate it!
Great video, but music is too loud, it’s hard to hear you.
Hi, would it be possible to e mail the plans that are diamentioned for the average guy that is not computer savvy to build ? Thank you

The plans should be accessible here. There's a PDF you can download here
Hi! What the electrical stuff like stepper motors breakoutboard, drivers, thc.... are you planning to use? How fast does this cnc would be able to go?
I'm using Nema 23 stepper motors as well as a generic breakout board and some drivers I get from Amazon. I've tried to keep the price down and I haven't had any problems with the electronics on my other builds. With the THC I'm not sure. I think I'm going to try and make my own, not sure how that will go, but if I can get it to work I'll definitely post a video about it. The CNC isn't the quickest because the gantry weighs quite a bit. I'm not sure what the max feed rate is. I haven't had any problem as I'm almost always below 100 in/min. I designed it to be stiff so I can use it to router wood and foam with a router attachment vs having it be able to travel fast. Hopefully that helps, I'll do some speed tests when it's complete

Thank you!
I already have a selfmade cnc plasmatable but it cuts crap, too many slacks everywhere. Thinking building a new one from scratch.
I downloaded your cad file and really like your design.
@@jaantobro5271 Yeah my first build was the same, it didn't cut very well. I had to do a lot of modifications to make it cut okay. Cool, hopefully these videos and the plans make it easy enough to make you're own. That's my plan at least! Let me know if you do end up making one
I've just updated the google drive folder in the description to have a spreadsheet with a list of parts
Can i use the helical rake
I think you could make it work, though you would have to redesign some things
