Hm-m-m, I'm thinking that you might want to put the plans for your CNC table in your CNC file. Just sayin.
Could be a good thing to make the plans available for sale so you can earn from your hard work.
Cheers from John, Australia.
PS Thumbs up great build and video.
I’ll tell ya one thing man! You won’t buy one with the quality of yours Stunning man!
Sure you will, you just gotta buy it from him! :D
These long videos are great. You just kicked your business into overdrive making that table, great stuff
You are a very talented person. Awesome job. Cant wait to see what's next. Keep up the Great work.
Seems spreading out the gantry bearings with an upside down T braket, as well as building whole gantry as light as possible for less resistance no the quick direction changes? Maybe? Idk anything about programing cnc or even cad, though would like to integrate similar machines into my business someday, but this is obviously a factor in regards to drivetrain life cycle & cut quality....not to mention Overall power required to operate/efficiency.
If i spread the gantry bearings I lose cut area and building it as light as possible would be ideal but is not really a factor anymore with the 2nd motor.
That’s a piece of art. I’d buy a build plan in a heartbeat. Keep up the great work bro
That's crazy you are one bad ass.
Do you follow AvE' s channel on RUclips? If not you might want to check him out he's from Kamloops area I think. He's quite good at this sort of stuff you'd get along great.
Man you did an amazing job on this project! Thanks for sharing it. You are a very skilled fabricator!
Very nice machine; very impressive. Suggestion: If you will put an additional hold point on the plasma cutter wand (up higher) it should take out most of the torch vibration and clean up your cuts. It is very difficult to stabilize a single point of contact unless you just make it very massive. Just a suggestion..
Built my own cnc router and I feel your pain trying to figure this stuff out. Jealous of your linear rails and shit, but soon enough lol. Kudos!
i also built my stuff, started with a 3d printer, then it escalated soo quickly
;)
Looks awesome. One word of advice from someone that programs 5-axis cncs for a living. When your machine is running the program, it is actually moving from point to point, even in curves. The points in a curve are just really close together. So when you are making radii etc, the machine tends to "cut corners" and never actually makes the arc 100% correct. In big radii you don't notice because it's a smoother cut line, but on small radii, it's more noticeable. When we machine small holes (this is in plastic parts but same principle), we have to slow down from a 200 ipm feed rate to 25 - 50 ipm depending on how small the hole is. Same thing with small, short moves where the machine has to accelerate and decelerate relativity fast to make the next move. Slowing your feed rate for those small radii/moves is the key to making the machine run smoother. Not sure how much slowing the feed rate will affect cut quality with the plasma but it's what we have to do on small radii to get correct dimensions. We run Multiax T-series machines for what its worth.
Regardless, awesome job on the build.
Awesome thanks for the info I will try that out!

Break that torch down to the mini, you can remove the longer tubes, that will help with your rigidity on your z axis.
cool didn't know I could do that. I will give it a go
Do you have motors driving both sides of the gantry? It looks like one side was lagging behind a little. I had to slave a second motor and run one on both sides to keep the gantry from shaking on the non driven side.
What is your tire set up? It looks like stock rims, but I just wanna know what size tires you have and if you have spacers or anything? I love this look and would love it on my 04. Great video man!
Others have already said it....but......PLANS man!!!! I'd be willing to give a fair price for something of this quality!!
Maybe just use some tension springs to solidify the torch. It also could be the magnets used on the break away mount.
Hey man great build, when working with thicknesses where you can get away with 45A, give the hypertherm "Fine Cut" nozzles a try. They have a max amperage of 45, but give a real nice cut quality.
Where did you pick up your gear racks from?
You might need a co-worker now, and I know the man...
new shop is badass great fab work
Good job buddy.
Put a water table under that bitch, it makes ALL the difference! We made our table using plate steel and regular bearings spaced apart so they ride on the edge of the steel. Works FUCKING GREAT! Floating heads work great, you just need to space the bearings out wider so it doesn't wiggle around. You'll get there. Just keep after it. We used an FL2300b controller, instead of Mach and a PC {which is a big pain in the ass}
Yeah I got water in it now it definitely makes a huge difference to cut quality and no smoke. Mach is a huge pain starting out but it does do everything I need and allows me to edit how it runs.
@@CumminslifeIf you do it again, or burn up a PC i would def give the FL2300 controller a look. They are like 300 bucks and replace the PC, Software, and Motion Controller. It connects directly to the stepper drivers. We bought the plane jane one with a separate THC, but they do have one with the THC built in. {I'm going to use that one next time. } You can tune all the cut parameters right from the control, do your array's, nesting, even cut simple shapes and pre-programmed templates. I can't tell you how much smoother it runs than Mach3, and sooooo much easier to set up and use. No motor tuning, no b.s. Literally just wire it up, calibrate the stepper revolutions per inch and off you go. Heres a couple videos of ours {sorry the videos suck, I'm not a real youtuber lol} ruclips.net/video/xHkaW9k8QVk/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/jdlqhrDjJoU/видео.html
If you still have wobbly Z check out this video for how we did ours. Its CHEAP and rock solid! {never mind the movement error, it was a setting we had wrong} But you can see its just a piece of 10gauge plate running between V bearings that are bolted to another 10g plate. Super Simple! This table has made us so much money its disgusting! Our only regret is not building one years ago!. ruclips.net/video/gGfNLciOsdE/видео.html
Good luck with your business!
First 😬👍
So you are you going to start building other things then decks for trucks now that you have this
Some of your problem with smooth cuts is the weight of the gantry is heavy. Now lighten it by about half then you will see better results.
Great project, I need to build something similar for my Formula car build. How much did all the steel cost you?
Very cool. New shop looks great. Shop tour video soon?
Great vid . No Boring bits like an action movie . Thanks for sharing .Awesome skills
That table is awesome. Build quality is impressive. Doesn't look homemade at all. Well done brother .
Total respect from Ks! Holy sh$t!! Skills!
Are you going to sell the plans or kits?
Any chance you will be making first gen bumpers?
Wow, what a build. You are a splendid craftsman and engineer.
Awesome build man. Pumped to see a deck build with this!
You are genius 👍👍🙏
Look into a torch height controller to get cleaner cuts. I like the video, subd for more
HOLY SMOKES MILLION DOLLAR MAN genius
Nice final product, for figuring things at things progress. How much was all of items, except the table. The table is too big for me. I will probably build one that is 4x6'. So, do you remember how much was all--electronics, motors, metal, except the table itself? Thank you for sharing the video.
Like the new shop. You should now be able to pump out the decks and bumpers.
How I want a cnc table for my everlast plasma cutter!
May need heat/slag shield for bottom linear bearing slide rail-nice job
awesome, not a lot of ppl even know how to get started on a big project as this, kudos.
cool fab work but be carefull of the copyright music RUclips will give a stick for copyright music
That was was tits dude. The time you are going to save cutting out your decks will be HUGE! Thanks for sharing. 😎🍻
We just bought a 2’x4’ table from ALD, it was around 20G. This is impressive that you built this hardware and integrated with software. Excellent drive and ambition, love your beds also!
Other than that good job
Fuckin miiiiiiint!
Why stepper motor noise.?
Increasing the micro stepping. Solve problem.....
Man ! You did a awesome job again 😬👍 how cool is that 😎💪
Your here too lol
Fadhil Alissa haha...everywhere there where good thinks are 😬👍
@@mikestrucks heck yeah man
แกน y ใช้ 2 stepping motor ได้เพิ่ม contorn motor ไหมครับ หรือต่อพ่วงกันเลย
holy table. go big.or go home. nice build.
need a torch height controller so you can get an arc confirmation signal
Yeah I have a pricecnc torch height controller just waiting on more pins for the plug that goes into plasma so i can get arc voltage reference
Looks very solid, love it. Is the main square tubing 1/8" thick?
ya 4x4 1/8" tubing
you da man
Why use metal slats for the waterbed?
Would it not be less expensive to use 2" x 2" ceramic tile, standing on edge, to support your work piece?
Either epoxy the ceramic tiles in place, or form small rectangular pockets by welding appropriate size thin gauge metal to the base of the waterbed in order to support the tiles upright.
I understand that many believe the metal slats provide grounding to the work piece, but the plasma cutter comes with a grounding cable with a clamp on one end to make electrical contact to the work piece.
If ceramic tile is used, you would eliminate blowout, and buildup of dross, on the metal slats. The tiles can be strategically staggered about the waterbed, forming a structure for your work piece to rest upon.
At least, that is how I plan on making my cnc plasma table.
:
Great Build Man!!! Can you please tell us the tube you used for the frame in Metric
Wanna design and build me bumpers for my first gen?
Yeah I have 1st gen bumper designs coming soon!
Wow that is super cool. How much invested for everything? Your attention to detail in your designs are awesome.
Man I wouldn't weld them slats in. Mine gets lots of slag on them, and I take them out to clean them quite a bit.
good night I am very well made that table I want to make a low cost. how do I acquire a team like that to import it to Bogota Colombia?
Hello great video!
Question, how you get to move your gantry or your x and y axis move at the same time with mach 3?
Thanks
What are those LED pods in your bumper? I need to get some.
hi. can you do a update video on the plasma table? how is it been working so far?
Is it necessary that you need a nema 34 stepper motor after all,all you are doing is just to move the xyz it is not cutting wood pls i would like to hear yr opening pls
Hi, I'm from Argentina, would you sell the cutting table plans?
$uicideBoy$ !!!!!!!!!!!!
what was the total cost in parts of the build ?
Awesome
Do you have a parts list for this beast that you wouldn't mind sharing? Please Thanks 😊
Man you're good. That's quality fab work
My favorite channel on youtube...
John Anderson I Second that
Awesome buddy
noice from motors sounds like u need to find some other microstepping setting or pulsetime(?) had a the same, but changes the microstepping and
pulse "what evvah it was" and it went smooth with no wierd sound
and also, a THC is a lot of "anger deterrrant", trust me on that
Ya I turned up microstepping and motor acceleration now it runs way better. You will see in next video.
That’s awesome this is totally going to help you
Now let's get to makin' some stuff!
Un Fuckin Believable! all from your head. Killer Job Boss
Freaking Sweet!
This is on my to do list when I get a shop to put it in too. lol.
show, is the plasma machine you used from the frequency can or pilot arc?
good job
awesome but........you don't need all the power in those big nemas waaay overkill but2......it could be the router from @#LL 3D /++ itt's pure beef unmistakably "THUNDERCHILD"!
hi what kinf of toothed rack is used , also how much Nm has motor ,
how many teeth has a gear? thanks
Okay, you are a God dam wizard! Bad ass!
Dope this is badass
lol now that what i call '' if you gonna go big -GO BIG nice job bud
awesome machine. hat sizing and thickness steal did you use?
Awesome
why not go with aluminum for cnc not the table would it not be as strong just wondering
wonder if you need a torch height controller , from wat i read about it it not only controlls the height it allso signals the mach that the torch is functioning
not cheap think there about 250 dollar or so
I have one just not wired up in this video.
If I may make some suggestions. Cover the linear rails with what is called way bellows.
www.google.com/search?q=bellows+way+covers&oq=way+bellows&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l7.7951j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
On the gantry motor it looks like it might flop around. Just a small piece of flat stock on each side stop it from pushing itself away from the rack. Don't need much and doesn't need heavy, just a little stiffer.
Table bottom looks awesome. Way heavier than something for sheet metal but what the heck, you might get into heavy plate later. Never know.
Been subbed for 2 years now. Might be worth your while to look at Fusion 360. I learned sketch up before and than switched and it has been well worth the learning pains of switching. It's free for businesses that make than less than 100k a year. Just a thought!
What advantages does fusion offer over sketchup? I haven't really hit any limitations in sketchup yet with what I do.
Now that you have a plasma table you'd probably like the sheet metal section of Fusion. Basically you can design a built 3d object and than flatten it. When you flatten it you can export the flat objects dxf to your choice of software and than cut it out. Makes cutting out modeled bumpers out pretty easy.
The learning curve is obviously more steep but I would still check it out. @@Cumminslife
@@split141x Sketchup can do that too with "Unwrap and Flatten Faces" extension. Works great just printed a whole deck this week using that feature.
@@Cumminslife Didn't know about that extension. Well if it works good for you no point in switching than :) Keep up the good work.
do you make it to sale?I would have like one like this
How is the plasma table going, did you iron out all the bugs? The other thing is i am wondering is how the Nema 34s are handling it. Cause i use 10 to 1 planetary gear boxes on mine and am thinking of taking them off.
Thanks.
you need to put gear reducer in the motor it give you smooth cutt . good work
Very nice and ambitious build.
What schooling did you do to have the knowledge you have?
Your table is a BEAST you once you get it dialed in, You should make CNC Burn tables as a product of yours. I use MACH3 aswell with my plasma table I also have SheetCAM that helps with nesting and generates the g code for MACH3. Ive been watching you channel now for over a year and I dont know why I just know subscribed thought I already had. CHEERS to you From UTAH.
Get rid of the laptop, Mach3 doesn't work well with them. I have a router table and a CNC lathe. I buy used Dell PC's from the flea market and they really do the job. Even my rotab has a stepper and allows me to cut gears and spockets. Check out the Mach3 forums for info on the laptop use....
Blueprints, how muxh?
