Bro that thing is wicked!
Well it cuts stuff! Haha
Well done... long overdue. Give the folks from the company a call for a little tech support. This is going to be a real game changer for you. You will save time and metal. You can get more cuts at one time and less scrap out of a sheet of metal. You're going to be asking yourself why you waited so long. Very cool and just a great addition to your shop. 😎👍
This is going to be such a great addition to the channel. Can't wait to see what custom parts you're going to come up with!
I would check out Mike Festiva’s channel. He has one of those and has some tutorials on the machine and software.
I have a CNC plasma cutter sort of like yours. It is a sort of a trick figuring out how much power you use on the plasma cutter and your feed rate. In time you will figure it out. Another important thing is to have dry air. Water in your air will give you bad cuts. The other word of advice I can give you is to clean your electrode and cap. I use a scrub pad or a wire brush. Once you learn your machine, you will be just fine. Just like welding, have a good ground. The great thing is that you can make your own programs and that will allow you to make custom parts. I make metal art with mine. 😃😃😃😃😃 I have a video on my channel but lots of people have home CNC machines now days.
Best upgrade I've ever purchased. Love my pro table. Once you start using it, turning it off costs money.
Some people say I can;t afford that - I say you can't afford not to have it..
Stoked for you, this is going to save you so much time and your parts are going to be fricking clean
I had my crossfire pro for about a year now, if you didn’t know they have a place on there website called fireshare and they have hundreds of DXF files and some cut ready files! I liked using the test card cut files
Yeah I have seen that! I wanted to start from scratch and do all the post processing so I can learn the whole design and cutting process!!
Hey hey fucknnn hey LOL it's ya goofy m8te from Australia 😆 love ya show [ HOLDEN COMMODORE VE UTE HSV Maloo R8 E series LS3 turbo start up accelerate sound ] - mate type that in on utube watch n enjoy...it only goes for 1.56 sec but wait till you see it..on a big screen..[ let me know what you think about the car in a reply ] ya goofy m8te from Australia
Get a Hypertherm with a machine torch and fine-cut consumables. I would also get a powered drier from harbor freight, it's cheap. This will greatly improve cut quality.
Hey man, careful with that Prime weld plasma cutter. The one I had kept blowing my THC, Langmuir and Primeweld send me a replacement THC and plasma unit and my new one did the same thing.
Idk why divided voltage is putting out 20v not the 1-2v like it should be. Just a heads up. Other than that this table and plasma combo is awesome!
Yea I wired mine to raw voltage!

Hey Austin, so I have the exact same table. I got it around last Christmas and it really is an amazing tool. I do run into the same issue you are though. It will cut better with a new nozzle and electrode (as you learned) but I think the reason they go bad so quickly is because of not having 100% dry compressed air. I also have the same MotorGuard dry air filter going to my plasma cutter, but I burn through tips very fast and I occasionally get that fault where the torch doesn't pierce though all of the way, or just fails to fire on broken cuts. You really need to get one of those industrial air dryers that dry the piss out of your compressed air. The cheapest one I can find is like $500 at harbor freight. Keep up the dope videos though, Man!!!!
Yep, that is the cheapest one that I could find.
I made an aftercooler for my compressor that goes between the discharge of the compressor head and the tank. It hangs on the fan shroud of the belt drive so the fan draws air through it. There are a couple of moisture traps on the low side just before the air goes into the tank that drain automatically every time the compressor cycles. I still have a moisture trap after the tank but I rarely see more than a drop or two in it. When I drain the tank at the end of the day there might be a couple of drops of water. I think I have less than $150 in parts in the setup.
What type of cooler did you use?
@@austinniemela
Cooler????? I made a water table and that helps to keep the steel cool and better control of the smoke.
@@alanm3438 cools the air so I can remove the moisture
Glad to see that you got one with a water tray under the table. we had a plasmacam cnc cutter and it would fill a MASSIVE building with smoke to the point I wore a respirator all day. It was terrible. we had dust stacking up everywhere to the point it would slide off of angled surfaces.
The one thing to note is that your plasma cutter may have speeds and cut heights for various sizes of metal in the user manual. the hypertherm we have does. there is a fine area that once you get it cutting right, its a pretty clean cut. However the bummer is that even once that is running right, the taper never goes away. Its just part of the machine. But its about time you got one! once you master it then it becomes an amazing tool.
Yeah the water helps for sure! I’m getting it dialed in better! I haven’t cut any thicker than 11ga yet though!
Excited for you bro now you can start making more bumpers for Toyotas
the machines are nowhere near square out the "box". With a little careful alignment of axis youll get much better results once the machine is "square" your taper is from cutting too fast, and or the wrong "wise". ID's are cut CCW OD's are CW. When you Post your cut files you want to slow the machine down around corners about 40%.
Did you try to change the speed? Looks like your running a tad fast in some of the images. Try to lower it a bit to see what happens. But with that said. Nice machine! I want one to :)
Every plasma table I’ve ever seen leaves a little slag on the edges even doing by hand leaves some most people keep a chisel close by to run over the edges…….. this is cool though and as far as a little bit of angle on the cut would that tiny bit make a difference after welding just a question……. Keep the cool content coming tho
Oh yeah. I bought the same table about 2 months ago. Mostly for bumper work. I’m exited to watch what you do with yours. Maybe you can make some sweet DXF filles for people to purchase. Maybe I’ll make a video of my setup to share one day
First purchase should be a straight torch so there is no chance of twist , twist = height fluctuations & possible angle fluctuations, just the weight of the suspended lead at direction changes will eventually loosen the grip on that torch head , there is a reason professional CNC tables all use straight torches , can’t wait to see what fab you do next 👍
Yes I will upgrade someday!
@@austinniemela Having both is handy leave the machine attached the table and swap out with the hand torch for skeleton harvesting..
how long are the tubes for the x and y axis? Their diagram on their site is confusing on those dimensions.
You wince when driving self tappers like I do haha
This is gonna save you a lot of time and make things a lot more accurate for future projects you will do! Great investment!
Hola 👋 Austin !!!!
Excelente compra !!!!
Podrás hacer piezas para tus proyectos 👍
Feliz año !!!!! Suerte 🍀
This one or arcdroid?
What you think toyota boys?
I want to order the PRO but the issue is I don't have a shop or garage. I can place in the living room of a vacant home I have that will be remodeled later in the future or have it outside under a roof only. This will make things much easier and nicer for sure.
how much time did it take for you to receive this table. I have been thinking about grabbing one of the Pro's. I just lose motivation due to the wait for it. LOL!!
@austinniemela1_ How do I reach you?
Thanks for sharing. I'm just learning plasma cutting so this was helpfull. Cheers!
same thing i thought when i bought mine
Are you using an apple computer?
20 grand and it’s range is only 47 miles 😂 what a joke. Electric vehicles suck so much. You can get one of these diesel and have a decent fire wood getter. There’s a guy I watch called “Austin Niemela” that uses one for firewood and a snow plow on his drive way. He’s done some upgrades to his to make it look and run great
thanks for doing the video. I am on the fence buying this EXACT setup (pro and cut60) . like you I keep going back and forth on the pro or 2x2. my shop is smaller then yours so leaning towards the 2x2. I also keep going back and forth on the cut60 vs hypertherm30xp. i know the Hypertherm is small, but I don't plan on cutting over and 1/8th and precision cutting / cut accuracy is the most important to me. is it possible that the china machines lack in this department? Afterall the torch is cheap, and the tip style has forsure not been engineered to the point that the Hypertherm has. thoughts?
O ok now Austin is a computer programmer. of course he is. next week he will be coding for NASA.
“CAD cardboard aided design”
Having the ability to do the job by hand shows your fabrication skills. But I'm happy that you're taking it to the next level with a CNC. I also own a Primeweld Cut60, it's an excellent machine, you'll love it! As always, keep up the great work, Austin! We're all rooting for you out here in the 509!
Доброго здоров'я привіт з Одеси Україна.
Looks like tip is too high from metal
Love my cut 60 and tig 225x from primeweld! My next big purchase if the crossfire is for sure, been looking at them for a while.
Nice More cool build. Bro I’m still waiting on the FJ build. Can’t wait!
I’ve owned and have ran a cnc plasma for years the taper will always be there and more noticeable in thicker metal. The arc coming out is in a cone shape there is no way around this the parts you see that are perfectly square a laser or water jet was used.
6/10 in off metal seems like a lot
I also just upgraded to a small cnc, I got the arcdroid. Really wishing I went with what you got.
try slowing down the cut speed rarely do any of them cut at 100%..play with the cut speed setting
Hey man, just wanted to know, how long did it take for u to get it delivered to u and can u pay through PayPal?, Ive been using my school’s 4x4 torchmate to make products for customers and I’m really looking for a table like this.
It took about 3 weeks!
@@austinniemela what’s up man, I ordered my pro table a few weeks ago, I got the table portion I think?, it’s a long box, on the box it said box 1 of 3. For you, was your table only in one long box?
@@Puppetgush the big box had the water table and gussets
I got my XR running about a month ago. Incredible machine for the money.
It seems on the water tables they could have just made the sides that you welded together taller. Then no welding at all, no sealing. Am I right or wrong?
All those brackets you hand cut will go much faster whipping them out with this!!🙌🏻🔥
Have you tried slowing down your travel speed? 80 ipm seems a little fast.
Nice Work Austin! Just got my own CrossFire PRO running a couple of days ago (There is a new RUclips video posted of my 1st cuts also!). If you aren't already on the Langmuir message forums, do yourself a favor and get on there... (it's free). Lots of helpful people there and you'd me amazed what they can diagnose from just a photo or short video clip.
Looks great. What were your weld setting on the water table? Amps and pulse?
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 should be a game changer.
Your cuts will always have somewhat of a angle or bevel because of the profile of the plasma jet stream, on my table I have my water level higher to help with heat distortion of the metal
The divot on the center straight line looks like it had lead in associated with it, adjust your post processor so you have no lead ins / outs op over burns for straight line cuts
Imagine the possibilities when you were making the bumpers! Or the bed for the red truck. You can make all of the suspension pieces for the FJ! Pretty freaking cool.
Nice piece of equipment. Have no clue in the fab dept of Mechanics but this thing is cool! Getting up there with the big boys!
nice brotha! just turn down the cut speed and torch height and you should be good to go
Top
Thanks for showing how to put this together. Great vid.
Having a water bed makes the cuts real dirty
Really enjoyed the detailed setup and first cut! I’ve been researching and trying to learn as much as I can so that I can take the plunge.
What we’re you soldering?
The water pan is divided (for shipping purposes) and needs to be joined on site. Bolts and RTV sealant to assemble it are supplied, but TIG welding the seam is far better. That's what he's welding.
Heck yeah, didn’t know they sell a portable table.
Taking avr to the next level ... big game Austin
Look at you Mr Fabricator. Wow!!!!!! Good for you.
I want to do work with you i am ah automotive electrion
Super sick addition 👌
Congrats on the new man-toy! 😁👍🏼
Just think how fast you will be able to cut out bumpers, motor mounts,etc. Your on your way to being a fabricing machine.
Yeah man! I can’t wait to put it to work!!
Is Devin your brother?
I was always curious about these so this was cool to see a beginner’s journey thanks!
You needed that machine
I highly recommend going on to FireShare and getting the cut files for the taller Z axis height. Search for "Stanchion Riser 2" and Original" or "Langmuir pro adjustable gantry riser brackets". There's a ton of other cool user submitted upgrade parts as well as artsy fartsy kinds of stuff. I also did the electronics splash shield "CrossFire PRO Electronics Guard", aiming laser mount and the torch splash shield. Not cut related but it is so nice to use a wireless game pad with my shop pc to move all three axis. I recommend looking into it.
What does the taller z axis improve?
@@austinniemela I've used it to cut holes in stuff that was already assembled, like an electrical breaker box. I suppose that I could have just taken the slats out of the water table... I just watched your latest video where you made that splash guard and stuff. I officially feel silly now.
Such a cool investment .
i hope you start making your bumper for sale. my 1995 4runner needs them.
cool investment .✌
Great video
👍
That's a sweet bit of kit
Next level status
Good
Great toy
I think you should make a video Faster
Your mom should make a video faster
Two really great points
You gotta get the automatic THC, well worth the money. I know very little about metal working, and I've never even cut metal with a plasma torch until I got the machine (same model). Works best when you're using thin metal that never seems to lay flat. I've never measured the torch height, voltage or anything. I run a few line tests for the speed and amperage. This'll be great for all your designs, you could sell them CNC cut ready.
I do have the torch height control!! Yea I’m slowly getting it dialed in!
I waited like over a month for that last box with the stainless water table and the gussets 😑. But this table is sooooooo awesome. Really easy to use. I use Inkscape to build whatever part I need, send it to SheetCam to make it a Gcode and then cut it. I bought an ArcDroid just before this Langmuir and man I hated that machine. So glad I bought this crossfire.
Sweet. Could really use one of those for my custom bumpers for my KEI truck.
Not to be rude but YOU DIDN’T do your homework if you purchased that system. Those systems are “likely” Chinese imports from HUAWEI the cost to build the control box is under $100.
They have improper grounding and EMI/EMF protections. In fact, you can’t ground your machine properly according to all plasma mfgers or CNC builders.
They now use a $4 arduino nano knock off as the main board.
They use a small cheap driver found in old 3D printers and the worst 5$ TB stepper driver on the market (bad at idle on motors)
They have no EMI shielding in the box and don’t use ferrites or drains.
They’ve continued to screw up the necessary relay’s.
They use plastic connectors for the “trigger plug”
They use cheap unshielded motor cables usually used for household printers!
They didn’t/don’t implement regular safety features like limit switches or E-stops until the “pro” version after everyone demanded them.
They use extremely cheap T series lead screws instead of the appropriately sized ball-screw.
There software is likely an open source GRBL Arduino cnc clone or inspired by it. It often freezes and crashes on users do to the lack of proper EMI/EMF/grounding and the fact that the main Arduino board is only a couple layer PCB so it gets effects by EMI.
The free handheld controller is a $2.99 BLE/WIFi keyboard.
They stole many of their product improvements from community members trying to fix the junk they sell.
They are a good marketing company and RUclipsrs continue to push their subpar trash onto viewers and sell junk to their community. Anyone who knows 2-3axis CNBC’s and plasma cutters know they are trash.
The total cost to build a Langmuir pro is under 1,200. If one wanted.
Oh no I better throw it away 😳😳
For any of that to make sense you would have to give us the name of a plasma table that is in the same price range as this one. Or the smaller crossfire.
Excited for you man. I put mine on the back burner for a while since work has slowed down for me. I have too many goals this year, but you’ve given me motivation. Great addition to the shop, congrats!
The biggest downside to a plasma table is dirt - dirt - DIRT! I stopped using my plasma torch inside for that reason. Metal dust and vapor can be bad for your lungs. All that being said, a really good fitlration system and a hood will go a long way in cleanliness. and the plasma table is a great tool for someone who wants to build accurate brackets and other metal parts.
So excited to see what you can create with this amazing bit of equipment !
Been looking at one of these. Now I need to make room. “So many activities” and possibilities. 🤙🏼
Better get on it haha
My hobbies are short🤔🧐
Stop talking and get on with it
