I can not express how much I love this Langmuir Crossfire Pro Plasma CNC. It would be adequate for business production or an at-home hobbyist. Coupled with the HTP MicroCut 875SC v2 you will be able to create the most amazing products and projects.
I am absolutely blown away by the fact that I can now cut up to 1/2 in steel in my basement and use it for 100's of projects. I'm not the most creative person compared to others I've seen on Instagram making entire businesses around this tool. I have plenty that I want to make, but surfing through the hashtag #langmuircrossfirepro I am amazed at the way people have put this tool to use. When the best tool you own is a Plasma CNC, every solution to every problem is a Plasma CNC.
This is my second Plasma CNC. The first... The Langmuir Crossfire. It really was more than I could ever need in my current shop, but I have a tool problem. Really it's an everything problem. If they create a better version, I want that version. iPhone, computer, TV, Car it doesn't matter. I want the better version. That does not mean I get the better version. This time I did.
Here is why. I wanted THC. Torch Height Control. I never really had issues that this would have been a huge factor, but I always anticipated that project where it would make a difference. I tend to babysit the job as it is running. If something pops up, I move it before it's an issue. Second, I wanted a bigger workspace. In reality, if I had a 60x40 shop with overhead crane, this might be too small, but like most people, that's not the case. I had to move copious amounts of everything out of my current space to make this 4x3 a possibility. I am so glad I did. I'm now into my 5th project although I have only filmed 2. This one is the first.
If you weld, this is an amazing compliment to that skill. You will have a never-ending stream of projects or products that you can create with this tool. The best part is the price. It's the best priced Plasma CNC on the market.

That Machine is Awesome Chad. You're going to have a lot of fun with it... Thanks for showing it off, super cool. Stay safe and healthy my friend.👍👍
The Muz Shop absolutely Mike. Thanks so much for watching and taking a second to comment.
This is a really nice setup/machine. The video appropriately demonstrates its capabilities.
megalaconic thanks. Thanks for watching. Check out the video I posted today. It’s showing a couple of simple things I added since this video. ruclips.net/video/FAlNvUAVa0A/видео.html
Pretty cool stuff. Enjoy watching and you make it look so easy.
Thanks Sarge. It’s all in the edit. 🤣. Seriously though. I think most people have the capability to get this running and making things they didn’t think they could.
You should come over. Are you back to work yet?
These brackets look awesome on the wall.
Thanks. They really do.
Oh that’s going to be some fun! Looking good brother!
Heath Knuckles it is so much fun. I have a list of projects I need to do already. Let me know if you need anything.
Look at that setup! Absolutely drool worthy. Congrats on getting connected with HTP. Absolutely and awesome brand. Huge fan of the HTP gear I have in house.
...Oh and nice powder coat. You always get the powder coat 🤣🙌🏼
House of Chop I was so tempted to just leave the mill scale and welding for everyone to see. Thanks Phil. 🙏🏼
House of Chop, we going to get a video from you soon showing off a little something something??
freaking awesome video!! third time watching it, hands up!!
Thanks. More coming. I love this machine.
I have owned HTP since 2008 I have the HTP microcut 625 and the inverted 201 AC/DC water-cooled TIG welder they have awesome equipment and their customer service is the best
I absolutely love having HTP in my shop. No question. Best service I’ve ever had. Fortunately it’s never for problems.

I bought the pro table too! Didn’t get mine yet but I can’t wait! I stick mig and tig weld. I personally love tig welding over the others. It’s so much cleaner. I’m new to your channel so I don’t know if you know how to tig but once you do you will not want to go back. That was me. Lol.
I have a TIG. I am a total hack and whenever I’m worried about the outcome I fall back to MIG. I have started practicing more on the TIG. I’ve recently changed my work situation so I have shop time. Lately that’s meant organization for video. But that’s just about done. Now the fun begins. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Great video! I got box 3 in, waiting on 2 more! I've been watching every pro video I can find, envious of you who have gotten them up and running!
Trust me. I felt the same way with the original. I just made 12 shelf Brackets. I’m about to post a picture of the shelves we put up today. They look amazing. What plasma machine did you get?
Those were some beefy shelf brackets! I've been wanting to get setup to powder coat, just running out of room! Like you, I've had to really move some things around to get the table to fit. I've had a Hypertherm Powermax 45 for years, I'll be getting a machine torch for it and using it. I've been pleased with its performance. Looking forward to more videos of the Pro up and running!
PyroMan_FPV that’s definitely a good machine. I’m thankful to have the HTP. I think the cut quality is very similar. I need to build a computer stand. I’ll see about cutting that tomorrow.
@@ManCrafting Awesome, I've been seriously considering upgrading to the HTP mig machine. I've also been looking for an excuse to upgrade the tig, but there really isn't any reason to. I really want to figure out how to get a mill squeezed in there somewhere. Priorities I suppose. New viewer here, keep up the good content, Your editing and audio is great.
PyroMan_FPV 🤣🤣🤣 I hear you. You like me suffer from TAS. Tool acquisition syndrome. I have links in the description to both. Feel free to use them. That ProPulse is so sweet my teeth hurt. I can’t believe how well it lays down the beads. TIG is next.
Nice machine, i see alot of fun things being cut on that.
Thanks Mike. It’s already been amazing to have in the shop and I’m just getting started.
Nice!!! I’m jelly!
Wannabe Maker whenever you make it to town, you can come play. I’d have said I’m jealous of your fiber laser, but I know it’s going back. ☹️
Love this plasma table. I've seen it in action. The Langmuir Crossfire is an amazing deal. You can make your money back on that really quickly.
Thanks for watching Tom. Got any new projects your planning that we can use it for?
@@ManCrafting Yes! I'd love to make a big version of the Rocket King. I've got some 11 gauge stainless steel for that. Also maybe prototype some new Rocket King Camping Equipment products. You game?
Definitely. Do you have a time table?
That’s a nice setup. I’ll be looking into one when I get a bigger garage. Thanks!
I have a small, one car garage with a garage queen, 1999 Mercedes nothing special E320 with only 65k miles, under car cover. I made the tough decision to move it outside so that I could reclaim the space to put a small plasma cutter table. That is how badly I wanted the CNC table. Hope you get to play with one someday soon.
Wow! Those plasma cuts are gorgeous. Never seen any that smoothly executed. The bend relief in coordination with the backup welds is an awesome way to fabricate. Very informative video as well. Nice work!
Thanks for watching and taking a minute to comment. Quick question. Have you ever used relief cuts in a design? It seems like I recall you using them previously.
ManCraftingTM Hey, thanks for asking. Absolutely! They are all over my Zombie Apocalypse Defense Weapon. If you have a few minutes, go check it out on my channel. ;-)
Works by Solo ahhh. I did see that video. It was part of that design. I wonder if I could cut that file on the Langmuir. Yours was laser cut by send cut send right?
ManCraftingTM You are remembering correctly. Yes, laser cut. The kerf that I’m seeing from your Langmuir is very clean. Can you tell me what is the width of the kerf you’re getting from that HTP plasma machine?
Works by Solo I will have to measure it, but I can use different consumables. Can you account for the kerf in your design?
I think you just sold me my first cnc plasma cutter. Having the manual torch is nice and all but I am constantly having to ask a friend to cut me parts for sake of time. This is an affordable solution and you make is seem like the learning curve isn't that terrible. I am in....
I think you summed it up pretty well. If you use Inkscape or Illustrator for 2D and Sheetcam the work flow is really easy. I have a friend who uses fusion, and it’s too much of a time investment for me. I can’t spend the time it takes to get proficient. I have a more recent video showing sheetcam workflow. It’s pretty quick to pick up.
That’s a nice setup.
Steve Boyd thanks Steve. Do you do much metal work?
I like those relief cuts, or as some others call them, perforations. It's like metal origami.
Thanks. I couldn’t have bent them otherwise.
absolutely awesome!!
Thanks Kevin. I have 100 ideas of things to make. Only limit is time and material. So many cool possibilities.
I need one of these machines for sure
Ox In The Shop even before you add the second shop you have space, but the second metal only shop would be ideal.
HTP makes some great machines
I knew they were good, but I just couldn’t believe how well I could weld compared to my previous welders. I was really stunned and stoked.
Yeah been on my list to get!
Tail End Customs you won’t regret it. I had a friend over today helping me and we ran a few jobs. I think he fell in love.
Dude that was awesome!!
Thanks Eloy. I hope your doing well in quarantine. I appreciate you taking a minute to comment. It means a lot.
Great video. Love the industrial look.
Thanks Dennis. You need to come over and check out my shop. I think you’d have a good time over here.
@@ManCrafting id like to. I have been meaning to call you. Maybe when things get less infectious. 👍
TheGarageEngineer I get it. I have plenty of room now for social distancing.
Looks pretty slick Chad!
Greg's Garage thanks Greg. This is simply amazing. I’m sure you feel the same about your Tormach.
I have the same plasma cutter. Where did you get the connector for the plug to hook up the torch height control at 10:17 of the video?
Langmuir has them available now, but I built it from parts I found on eBay. It’s not worth building. The pins are a pain. I had to get a friend who has the tools for making the connector help me with it.
Nice setup Chad.
Randy Richard In The Shop thanks Randy. I really appreciate you stopping by.
awesome Chad
Thanks JP. When are you coming to America?
Hey Chad! Are you happy with the corrugated metal on the walls? What other options did you consider? I’m needing to close up the walls in my garage after insulating and looking for ideas. I will be machining, cutting, grinding, welding and plasma cutting.
It’s worked well. Downside is it creates a challenge for hanging shelves, pegboard style storage etc.
Which air dryer are you using for the table/shop air supply?
I got the one from Harbor Freight.
In some of your videos you are using a flexible red cover on your torch. What is that called, and where can I get one?
I bought a set here. amzn.to/3X0xgt5
I just bought this table and am about 4 weeks away from getting it. I have the Harbor Freight Titanium 45A plasma cutter which I will be using. I was wondering what type of Torch Head you have on your plasma cutter and if that was something you added. I am curious if I can add that type of Torch to my Plasma Cutter. Great videos! You just got a new subscriber!
Thanks. I have the table torch sold by HTP. I’m not sure if it’s compatible, but they have a great customer support and can tell you if they have an option.
Their website is usaweld.com
Why choose this plasma torch over the one Langmuir offer as part of the crossfire pro kit? Interested to hear your thoughts
It cuts much closer to the Hypertherm plasma cutter. The torch is the same design as the hypertherm and the consumables are about half the cost. I had the RW 45 with the OG table and it was ok, this just cuts way better. I had a friend using it before me so I saw the quality and he used his way heavier than I was.
Great video! I'm waiting for my Langmuir Pro to show up. I'm totally new to cnc machines but going for it! Would you recommend this Plasma cutter for fine detail cutting artwork on thinner metal such as 16 ga?
It’s been super reliable and cuts always look great. I couldn’t be happier. 800usaweld.com/products/microcut-875sc-v2-plasma-cutter?ref=3tijle_owkg
@@ManCrafting Is this an affiliate link? If I decide to go with this machine, I'd like to help you out a bit! I'm still researching!
@@JohnStephensJRSimages it is and I would appreciate the help. Either way let me know what you end up buying and why. I’m always curious.
Hi. Is this a 3 feet by 4 feet? Table. If not does Langmuir make a 4’x4’ table?
It’s 4x3 and I’m glad it is. I believe they wanted a table that could fit 4 ft wide but still would fit in the home shop. I couldn’t go 4x4 in my current space. If I need to cut something longer I can make a registration cut and slide the material to complete the cut. I just haven’t had the need.
Nice machine ...I would like to see how you made the relief cuts... Thank you great video
itchyoldfart56 yea, I wish I had gotten that on video. Not sure if I totally forgot or if I just didn’t hit record. I have another project we are working on and it also has relief cuts. Essentially just a pierce and cut line along the bend in the file. In this file it was designed to remove all but 1,5 in of material along the bend. Not difficult at all.
@@ManCrafting OK gotcha..so the relief cuts were made on the plasma cutter ...sweet ...thank you
Exactly. Really easy to add to the file or even after if you haven’t changed the zero or moved the part.
What compressor do you use? Or what cfm do you recommend?
Each plasma cutter has a specific pressure and CFM required. I have a NorthStar similar to this. amzn.to/362uzNz
Nice vid. Did you have good support from the Langmuir folks? I'm contemplating on the Langmuir table vs. the Arc Light CNC table (way more expensive) built near me in Bend Ore.
Great question. There’s an amazing forum, which they monitor and answer questions when needed, but their customer service directly has been amazing for others that have needed it. Personally I might have emailed them once on my original table, but in this one, I have had no need to do so. This has been such an amazing tool addition to my shop.
@@ManCrafting Thanks for your reply. Glad to hear you had good support. I think I will go with the Langmuir table and save some $$$. Thanks again and keep up the good vid's
jetjock07 awesome. Let me know what you think. It’s been a great investment for me. Also ManCrafting saves you even more. $100 off.
Hi. I am a welder but I do not have a programming background when it come to CNC machines. Is this software hard to understand or difficult to create cut files? Thanks
I’m with you. When it comes to designing, it’s all 2 dimensional. So you can design things in half a dozen programs including InkScape. Which is free. Then you need to run that file through what’s called a CAM program. It generates the code that the machine uses to cut. That’s a little bit of a learning curve, but I use Sheetcam which makes it a little easier to do. Last is the Langmuir Pro software. Once you load the code it’s dead easy. The older software Mach III want as nice of an interface and I didn’t care for it. Also, there are 1,000’s of free files online and even on the Fireshare page on the Langmuir site. So unless you’re fabricating ideas in your head you could go a long time without needing to design anything. Shoot, there are even guys in the forums that will generate the g-code for you or draw a file if you get stuck. That side of it is my weakest strength, but I’m cutting more than I have time to cut. Sorry for the long response. I think I’ve had too much coffee. 🤣
ManCraftingTM Thanks for the reply. Yeah that was my only concern about purchasing a CNC machine. That’s great info I appreciate it. Makes me feel a bit more confident in making the decision to purchase a unit. Have a good one.
My absolute pleasure. Like I mentioned in a comment above. I saw a friend use his torchmate in 2017. I was blown away. It was a little out of my space and price zone, but I could only imagine what I’d do if I had one. Now I do and it’s 1/3 the price and a little smaller footprint. I’m still in awe that I own it.
FincaDelSol PR what did you decide? I’d love to know if you end up getting one.
Hi there, can you do a video of this cutting 20 gauge mild steel? I just found out languimire is a San Diego company and I am working on a product for sale and would want to know if I can stop outsourcing the laser and replace it with my own plasma table. You make it as a shorts if you wish.
Let me see if I have any 20 gauge here at the house. If not I’ll pick some up. How big and intricate is the part?
@@ManCrafting Im going to reply with a short on my channel give me an excuse to upload! LOL
@@iheart3dprinting951 let me know when it’s up.
Awesome machine! Very interesting!!
You should drop by this weekend.
so, what did you do with your old Langmuir machine? want to sell it?
Sorry Dustin. I already sold it to a friend back in February. He got a great deal and hopefully can make that money back quick. I wish I had another one.
please do a walkthrough of the construction of this machine itself
What specifically would you like to see?
@@ManCrafting at 2:07 on the top you can see four red colored brackets with wheels in them. they are attached to a black steel tubing. How is this structure connected to the ballscrews?Also would like to know how the Z axis is attached to the gantry
Is that the torch holder that comes with the Pro table? If not, where is it from? Link?
I got the torch mount from Langmuir as an accessory.
I’ve purchased the Pro table (using your discount code) with the THC. The order indicated it will ship in July so I am gathering all of the extra equipment I need/want. I’ve purchased a new PTM60 machine torch head, new computer, and a IR air dryer. I did not see the torch mount on their website so maybe this is the one that comes with the THC?

Thank you, just ordered on to be shipped with my order!
Mine keeps cutting from one hole to another cut not shutting the torch off , I think it’s my post processing setup but not 100% where I’m messing up
I think if you post your g-code on the forum or in the Facebook group there are a bunch of people willing to look at it. And let you know if that’s the issue or to look elsewhere. I’m guessing it’s the g-code.
ManCraftingTM I found it in the forums, it was one of the buttons on the plasma cutter was in. The wrong position
Awesome. Easy fix.
ManCraftingTM yes but now my crossfire is cutting out the torch during the cut! I know it is not the plasma cutter as I can cut manually with it no issues , i may be cutting to high up about 1/8 in on 1/4 in steel . New torch so tip is good we will see what tomorrow brings also clamp on steel plate I’m cutting ,

Oh. And if you go that route. Your 5% discount code is MANCRAFT5%

How much did it coast you for everything if you don't mind
This takes you to the plasma table. I got everything but the computer stand. So about $3k for this without a plasma cutter. I went with the HTP. store.langmuirsystems.com/?aff=2
This takes you to the HTP Plasma Cutter. I got it with the Table Torch at the time it was just over $2k 800usaweld.com/products/microcut_875sc_v2_plasma_cutter_manual?ref=3tijle_owkg
So all in maybe $5500 there is a cheaper plasma cutter that’s ok. It’s had some upgrades since I owned their first version.
With the plasma cutter I have I’ve cut 1/2 inch, but should be able to cut up to 5/8.

I'm in the market for a cnc table now and wondering if, after a year +, if you have realized many limitations with this system or, if it has created enough revenue at this point to possibly regret not investing in a bit heavier duty or larger machine?
I already have a Hypertherm 45 XP to add to a machine.
There is so much variety and competition in the plasma cnc market that I find it very difficult to feel confident in choosing a vendor. I've read so many software horror stories and have no cnc experience to draw from but I certainly want every design possibility open to me after making the investment. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
For me, anything bigger in my current shop is untenable. If these smaller machines hadn’t come out, I’d still be without one. My original reason to buy it was to do on demand cutting for a product I was outsourcing. So not having to spend $700 on a sheet worth was great for me. It’s probably way more than that now. I’ve done 5x4 foot signs on 3 occasions and tons of other sign projects. It’s payed for itself over and over. I used it this week to cut half a dozen parts for my on demand stand. You can look at my TikTok or some of my shorts here. I post something every week.
Also. The software for actually tuning this machine I love. The keep releasing updates with more features as well based on user feedback which has been great.
@@ManCrafting This is encouraging information. Thank you.
It does seem like this machine offers a lot for dollars spent compared to many others.
A couple more questions if you wouldn't mind, if you needed to cut out a sign, say 6' x 3.5', can you stop mid job and slide the sheet up to continue cutting letters after the travel has maxed out without any alignment issues and does the cost of the machine include full licensing of the software and free software upgrades?
Thanks, Roger.
@@rogerbivins9144 that and if you need help there is a huge community both on the forum and on Facebook. Not to mention the customer service really is customer service.
@@rogerbivins9144 I did this to cut a 5 foot tall sign. It’s called registration. Lots of people do it. I think some designs lend themselves to making it really easy to do. Several people have alignment setup tools that you can cut and add to the table. The FireControl software is included. You will still need design/CAD program. I use something like Inkscape and Sheetcam. That’s separate but I think it’s available on the Langmuir site.

Thanks Gib. When you get down to Atlanta again you can come play.

Nice machine torch! Not a hand torch
ZILA yes. Having a machine torch is awesome. Did I say hand torch?
The HTP Pro Pulse 220MTS is $2200 ... not exactly cheap.
Logical Guy cheaper than the Hypertherm and similar quality. I’ve had a cheaper option and I’m glad I have the HTP. The two combined is a pro level tool at a hobby price.

you need more water in that bed...
Thanks. On all my future videos I do. I was just excited and in a hurry to use it. I also switch to Plasma Green. Way less corrosion and fouling.
@@ManCrafting I know that excitement :-)
This is a FAKE video guys. The only purpose of the fabrication you are watching is to show very expensive equipment in use. This is a commercial. This guy has about $10.000 sitting around his shop to make shitty welds on shelve brackets you can buy on Amazon for $5 a piece,. Give me a brake!
I didn’t have these tools make $5 shelf brackets. I have it to make whatever I want whenever I want. I’ve wanted a plasma CNC since first seeing one in 2015 at a friends welding shop. At the time the cheapest one on the market was about $20,000 and was going to take up a space in my shop that was more room than I had. When Langmuir came out with the first version I jumped at the chance to buy it. Then they came out with the Pro. It was a huge upgrade and I didn’t hesitate to buy it. I live this machine and I know a lot of people who have it as well and are not only making things for themselves, they have created entire businesses around it. I just had a guy come to my house who is considering buying one for his business which is making accessories for slotted shelving systems. He brought two of his designs and we cut them out. Normally to have a tangible prototype he’d have to send it to the company that does his production runs on a laser. Now he’ll be able to do that on demand with no wait. As for my shitty welds, I’ve done worse. I have no training other than the few RUclips videos I’ve watched. Currently I’m in school full time to rectify that. Monday will be the beginning of my 4th week at Georgia Trade School. Personally I feel like I’m doing a lot of good and am a pretty positive person. I don’t have the inclination or time to go onto peoples videos and leave unhelpful comments. I hope that at some point you can be as fortunate.
Horrible video
Thanks for taking the time to give some constructive criticism. I’ll try to make my next one less horrible.
