Nice to see your new cutter. It is so handy, my Icut60 will cut 7/8" @80psi air slowly. For 5 years on Icut60 ($199), I fabricated a 3/4 yard hydraulic cement mixer, a 16" bucket, a fixed thumb, a few 200hp outboards carts (with casters), a snow blade for quads and many small jobs.....
Brandon, good move starting with the less expansive model. To work with a CNC plasma cutter, you need the 'Blow Back Arc' style of plasma and those typically run in the $800-$1000 range for less expensive versions. The non-contacting machines that are a step above what you now have ($250-$500 range) typically have just a high frequency start and the HF will damage the electronics of a CNC plasma table.
I never thought of the interference, but yeah, that is definitely a concern. Especially when used with the questionable drivers that everybody usese. Perhaps it could be resolved with shielding. I'm gonna fire my Win XP machine up next to the running plasma and see what happens.
@@BrandonsGarage I was thinking of going DIY but fell in love with the Crossfire Pro from Langmuir Systems. I don't think that the Langmuir is absolutely necessary just that my peak lusting after it matched up with a bonus from work. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
I have a few products made by vevor !! I own the electric hoist , the outboard motor stand & the outboard motor shifter. They make some solid products. Much better then harbor freight lol
I was going to buy the Harbor Fright one, but they are silly expensive compared to what you can get on Amazon, and Amazon is silly expensive compared to what you can get on Vevor. I also got a 6 spool hydraulic valve. The thing feels like it weighs 50 pounds. It's ridiculously heavy. Won't be breaking that!
Very nice, I first tried my plasma with out any experience, like you, work out a few bugs and easy peasy, I ended up getting this roller guide, it has two rollers and an adjustment for height and the wheels swivel, put one wheel against a straight edge and zip a real good straight line, I started out first time on 3/8" material and melted my first tip lol
My problem isn't straight cuts, it's a radius - which I'll have many to do. I've been angle grindering for so long, I'm really convinced I can get a nicer straight cut with a grinder than the plasma. Problem is, grinder wheels aren't $0.99 cents anymore, I suck with a cutting torch, and to refill my bottles would cost more than the plasma cutter.
@@BrandonsGarage Yeah I hear you on that logic gas isn't as cheap maybe double in the last three years, you know what though just about two months ago I bought one of those diamond wheels, i think their like fifteen bucks for one but I have yet to wear it out, still cuts through three sixteenth steel pretty good, but works best on thinner material, beats changing the discs out so often.
@@BrandonsGarage Maybe you could check a diy woodworking router jig design to cut round shapes and adjust to your needs to cut radius. By the way thank you sir for the educational videos on all the old johnson outboards...you saved me lots of time and money multiple times...I gained a lot of knowledge the last 2 years with your videos...kudos man!
I'm thinking, if a person was to make an apparatus with two wheels on it, to place the torch into . Keeping the tip at the perfect height . Then you could really improve the quality of your cuts .
It's funny how you publish these 'new apparatus' videos about a month ahead what i'm going to purchase. Now i'm waiting for my laser cutter to arrive. And now i know what i need to buy next...

I've been thinking about some outboard cars too!
Want to share some photos with me? I'm looking for some inspiration

Nice… I seen people clamp square tube to items to use a a guide and run the gun against it to get straight cuts quickly
Many thanks for that video!
Great compact design 👌 👏 👍
Great video - learned a bunch abt a tool that I don’t need (want want bc it is cool) and will probably buy in the next yr or so 🙂

Great now that you plugged that site I'm going shopping 😆
Oh did you have a look? If you browse, you'll find basic stuff, but if you search, you get a much larger variety.
@@BrandonsGarage a lot of things I would like
Nice ! New way to cut open an outboard ! Hahaha. All you need now is a melting furnace for your aluminum !
Already have that!

Dude that is saweet
Do you need a welding helmet to protect your eyes?
Well, you should.
I was wearing one, at some point it was the cutting torch goggles, but yes you probably should wear something.
