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.
I love the fact that you left the “Large” size sticker on your sweater!!! I did that once, except it was on my jeans!!!! 😂😅🤣😂😅after wearing my military camies for so long I didn’t even think about the the stickers!!!!
Guys im real excited about this project. I purchased the plans last nite, got someone to print out the parts for me within 15 minutes lol. Cant wait for my plasma cutter from amazon to show up! Ill keep yall posted on my progress! Greetings from Quebec Canada!
Just came across you guys, all I have to say is insane. I love how open you are with your designs and its amazing for the building community. I've been searching and dreading the cost for a plasma table and as someone who likes to make what they can this is absolute incredible. Can't say enough, I will picking up the designs from your site and get to making this table. I'm very excited.
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.
We are working on a video tutorial, but the reason it is not sold separate is because it is not compatible with other plasma tables without extensive modification.
@@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.
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.
Hey been watching some of your vids. Have to say you guys come up with the coolest stuff I have ever seen. Just shows you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars for the same machine. Nice job guys.
I just bought the plasma table plans and the printed parts, and I was thinking I guess I need to purchase the rotary axis.....What!!! they are already included in my plans. It just keeps getting better! Now I gotta get a tube bender.
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.
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!
Find a piece of round tubing that the square tubing just fits inside. Or cut some "washers" that put the square tubing in the center of a piece of round tubing.
Love it got 2 cnc machines i made. Wanted to build rotary pupe cutter axis for plasma table u i aint got any drawings dxf have you youre design is awesome and simple
Very nice! I have and use BendTech for frame fabrication... it produces wrappers for the tube coping. How would this "wrapper" information be converted to gcode? Thanks!!
Love this addition to the design. Contemplating buying the plans. I have a heavy duty chuck rotary axis for my laser cutter/engraver. How difficult would it be to change the rotating parameters in the code based on the gears of my rotary axis to make it work with this plasma cutter? Are those firmware code changes accessible to the user?
Nice machine. Your plasma earth is connecting through the ball bearings. Will this become a problem? I built a rotary welder rig once and foolishly earthed through the bearings. Not good. My bad.
Hey guys! I ordered your plans and I've got the 3D printer rolling. Quick question: I do a lot of notching with 7/8 tubing for tig welding and was curious if the rotary attachment will work for 7/8? If not, are there a little bigger diameter bearings that might make it work? Thanks guys!
Hi my name is Phil Katavatis from Melbourne Australia I purchased the plans off you about one year ago, thanks heaps. Just wondering i would go receiving plans for the rotary cutter and any information on the Z axis plans with STL files ,cheers love your work.
The Z-axis is not available yet, but if you have purchased the plans you can go back to where you originally downloaded them from and the Rotary cutter will be there.
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!
Hi, i came across this after i'd bought and set up my langmuir pro table. I'm wondering, is there a way to add this rotary axis to the langmuir table? or do you have plans to do so? please let me know, I'm seriously interested in adding this to my table
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!
Ours is pretty good on consumables, the kerf starts to expand at around 80 minutes, and they usually go out around 100 or so minutes. We noticed if you have water in the air you can ruine consumables almost instantly.

ROFLMFAO!!! I never noticed that until I read your comment, that's frickin hilarious!! ha ha ha
😎👍
I love that building machines has become easier & affordable for the home/hobby person these days
I’m always amazed that a tool builds a tool to build other tools!
@bpdp379 my 3d printer pretty much buuit my CNC. Now I make small robot frames with it 🙃 working on a toy desgine atm
Please do a video of setting up the cuts in CAD, completely lost how it’s done.
I bought yor plans in January and didn't realize theRotary Axis came with them! I'm an old guy and one day I'll build it (hope it's before I die).

Bardzo prosty i ciekawy układ napędu rury. Podziwiam.
on your wingnut-convert it into a speed wrnech style offset handle to make it faster if you need
Hey, does you Plasma cutter kit come with instructions for the electronics?
Love the sticker on the fresh shirt😂!
Bloody brilliant! Subscribed.
Seems like it could use some flanged bearings so the belt doesnt fly away
Do you guys have the Gcode for the brackets? I’d love to add this to my CNC
Very nice! I have and use BendTech for frame fabrication... it produces wrappers for the tube coping. How would this "wrapper" information be converted to gcode? Thanks!!

ok now im def gonna hafta add this to mine.... thanks good job
Great idea in theory, but it's still faster to plasma paper templates by hand.
Can you make video how to create gcode for tube notcher? and btw great job!
Super interested in building a kit and working with you on development. Can you go over what you are doing workflow wise to notch tubing?
We go over more detail on the tube notching in our mini trike series here : ruclips.net/p/PLWACT6mAqAyW7l8gD6dWiR7fioa1f1hk9
Impresionante!!!excelente video, gracias!
Have you tried or considered building a torch holder that is angled to cut beveled ends on pipe?
Congratulations excellent cnc, where do I buy the supports?
Nice machine. Your plasma earth is connecting through the ball bearings. Will this become a problem? I built a rotary welder rig once and foolishly earthed through the bearings. Not good. My bad.
Hi sir can you please make a video on how to hook up the plasma cutter with the cnc machine so the whole thing works as one
Interesting way to create an inexpensive rotary axis.
Good Morning. Wouldt you mind to tell me the speed and the amperes you used in this video? Greetz from northern Germany, near Hamburg. Wolle
That’s awesome!
if someone made a kit of 3d print parts, you might have a market
Awesome.
Do sell part for the complete tube notcher
I have to cut half inch tubing and on up…can bearings be placed closer together?
Can you make the table 4x3 with the same design?
i did not see plans for notcher on your site?

It will fit 3/4" tube up to 2-1/2" tube
I like how you guys have a basic garage fab mentality.
How is your cutter so quiet
😂 Struggle bus. Been there
Is Box tubing possible??

It's just unrolled and an axis is swapped. It still thinks it's cutting a piece of sheet metal.

Pretty cool, will you be adding a z axis at any point?
We definitely will
If u move the bearings closer together does it screw up the g coding?
Gcode stays the same.
I wonder how I would adapt this to my crossfire....
Nice. How do you come up with this sort of stuff's ? Hahaha
It was a matter of circumstance don't want to cut tubes with an angle grinder anymore and already had a plasma table.
