    Could you by chance do a video on how you do the cad/g code for this? I was tinkering with this in fusion 360 and I found you have to convert the pipe to sheet metal to cut it.

    Good job on adding a tube notcher to the plasma table. This thing is perfect for most garage shops. I have actually been starting to design a dedicated tubing notcher while I squirrel away a bunch of parts this year for a crosscart. With any luck I'll have it all done next summer and you'll have to stop by next time your up north to go riding.

    So it would be good to see the plans for the tube notcher sold all by itself for folks that already have a table. Also it would be good to setup a how to video walking through the software steps of what you did to create the tubes. the explanation is ok to have but show and tell is much nicer. Thanks for your videos neat project can't wait to see additions to the z axis and what you will do about a torch height control maybe in the future.

    • @jdsgarage701

      @@jdsgarage701 , I feel like with the plans, the motor and the controller, it wouldnt matter what table is used. Are you using a Y or Z axis? I thought the plasma cutter stayed in place and the X axis spins the tube. This might be a perfect add on for any table.

    • @sticks7817
      @sticks7817 Год назад

      I'm interested in just the plans for the rotary as well. Matching the rotary and the drive ratio to an existing Y axis would be easy enough. Easier with the CAD file to make any adjustments for the drive.

    What about square tubing?
    This would be a nice new project to fortify your rotary progress.
    Maybe make some sort of cradle to hold the square tubing,
    and some software for the z axis. cut a side, hold torch off the side,
    rotate and level the tubing, torch cut back the other direction, etc.
    Very nice job on your rotary axis design. Very nice!

    How is the cutter doing on consumables with this setup?
    I have a very cheap Plasmacutter which I am completely unhappy with it. It wont cut straught for a centimeter, not even with new consumables on it. I am wondering if that is due to the burner, wrong settings or potentially deviation in distance to the plate. If the latter, I mght be able to salvage that Plasma for a CNC table...
    Love your build by the way!

    • @jdsgarage701

    Do you guys have a video on the programming on this notcher? I cant wrap my head around how the clocking works with different sized tubing. You mentioned nothing is changed as an inch is an inch. So if this was programmed on Fusion 360, my guess would be to take a round object, put in your beveled/coped cut on the end. then lay it out flat. and it rotates the object with the same stepping from the rotary to the x axis. I am familiar with 4 and 5 axis milling machines. Again, id assumer you're programming with fusion 360. My other thought would be Fusion thinks its a "rotary on a mill". So the torch would be like an end mill and since you taught it to cut at given diameter it does just that and rotates the appropriate degrees. If you guys can clear this up for me, that would be great! Is there a specific "programming" document in the files for this? I have purchased them and asked a couple questions already. Thank you!
