exactly what i was looking for thanks a ton, i was wondering if anyone has done it! Actually stumbled upon this vid looking to see what diameter holder people were using. Im actually gonna be running the JD;s garage build, but im interested to see your video with the lazer gantry. Keep up the good work, got another follower!
I bought the Yeswelder plasma cutter 65DS-Pro and trying to figure out how to install wires to get my CNC to work the trigger. the new version only has one main connection for the torch and not the two pin connector. I may have to dive into the main housing and come out with two wires. not sure if your new video will cover any of that.
@@Kevin-n9i1s 65DS-Pro is a different size. It used to use the same torch, but technically it appears that the IPT-40/60 torch is limited to 60A consumables. Therefore, they may have to change the torch to an IPT-80. Yes, you will need to to either hack into the wires inside the enclosure, or in the handle.
@@Kevin-n9i1s I update the original response. Are they still using an IPT-40 torch (60 limit depending on consumables), or did they change it to IPT-80? If you plan to convert the torch to CNC and no longer use as hand torch, then just cut the wires inside the head as I show, and then pull them through the sheath and out close to the connector, and connect those trigger wires To your CNC control.
Looks good. Glad it worked for you. I'll be making those changes to the cad drawing so future units will have a rounder clearance around the torch head and slightly deeper screws. The YesWelder sure is inexpensive. I actually started down this path over two years ago and my first cnc build was with a CUT50L which is no longer in production, and I was using a hypertherm clone head with fine-cut consumables. The YesWelder and its head is now giving me better precision cuts than the hypertherm consumables. My video is not the best quality, but in this video I show how I put my system together and I used an old dryer as a down-draft table and I vent it outside of my garage. ruclips.net/video/7ikfPgJQgzA/видео.htmlsi=R79lc9DX4vTbXY6Q
No advantage compared to hand torch? There are many advantages. The hand torch is difficult to mount to the CNC, the cables hang out a weird angle and are unwieldy to support. In this case where the gantry is light duty, it's better for the cables to go straight up and be supported from above. It moves all the mass closer to the Z axis, reducing the torque on the gantry. The only reason that people adapt hand torches onto low cost plasma cutters is because a machine torch is expensive.
🤦♂By transitioning the standard handheld torch to a vertically oriented CNC torch, we're not just altering aesthetics; we're optimizing functionality within the CNC system itself. With the torch now vertically aligned, the CNC machine can operate more efficiently, with reduced interference from the torch's physical configuration. Consider the gains in machine clearance and maneuverability. With the torch now streamlined and vertically oriented, the CNC machine can access tighter spaces and execute intricate cuts with greater precision. This translates to savings in material, time, and ultimately, cost. So, while the torch itself may remain unchanged in function, its integration into the CNC system undergoes a transformative evolution. It's not just a tweak; it's a strategic optimization that pays dividends in performance. But hey, if you prefer to keep things horizontal, who are we to disrupt your workflow?
Subbed...can't wait for the cnc plasma cutter updates
Keep em coming!!!!
Thanks! Will be posting that new video soon.
@@engineerable any updates?
@@migs1121I've been out for the summer and will post new CNC plasma cutter videos after the summer break is over.

looking forward to the next video, I just ordered this plasma cutter!
Awesome idea.. Going to add it to my avid CNC router..
great vid! Have you uploaded the second part?
Very cool.
Can you please do a video on metal gears for the unlock v1/v2. 🙏
following, always had this idea.. plasma on a cnc router..

@@engineerable okay appreciate the quick reply. I will look inside of the cabinet. If I figure it out, I'll let you know.

Super idea 🤜🏻👍🏻🍺
You have my attention and 👍
Awesome video. Ready for the next one.
Thanks! The plasma cutter machine is coming together nicely. Will publish the next video soon.
hey man, I was wondering If you could recommend me a gel blaster to buy and I only have 80 dollars cad
Check out this post where I rank gel blasters by price - www.engineerable.com/single-post/what-are-the-best-gel-blasters-of-2023

Thanks for making and selling the 3D printed housing, and inspiring us to build cheap cnc plasma cutters.
Will it cut steel sheets?
Yes.
@@engineerable very cool. Appreciate the great video content. Me and the kids need to get splatrball guns. Sooo fun.
Why would you bother doing this? There is absolutely no advantage to doing it.

This item is out of stock 🥱
John says he 3D prints them on demand so he keeps it out of stock till he has more made. This video has probably sold it out.
