    It’s a surprisingly affordable 2x2 table at $1500, I added the optional XL table extension for $150 and the optional stainless steel water table for another $150 but for $1800 it’s really a quality table!

    How cool. I have a Torchmate 2X2 and I have made thousands of things. The best piece of advice that I can give anyone with a plasma cutter is to buy the small Harbor Freight air dryer. It cost about $500 but worth it. The other thing is to put a plastic bag around the handle trigger since you have a water table. That plastic bag will save you hundreds of dollars. I like your machine but I was a little concerned about the gantry arm only having one support instead of two. If you live near Racine, WI I would love to share programs with you. It looks like you know a lot and well on your way. I make most of my art program just by tracing in CAD.

    Langmuir has their newer and bigger table on sale. Sooner you can order it, cheaper it is. A tiny tab to knockout is not an issue. I'd definitely get the water table, does A LOT to reduce warpage if not eliminate it. For some of my art projects, this would save an insane amount of time once orogrammed and make duplicate parts perfectly. Can't wait to get one.

    • @Mikefestiva
      @Mikefestiva  4 года назад +1

      Thanks for checking out my video! The tabs on that were from me not setting up the IN and OUT cuts and CUT speed properly, I have gotten a lot better on setting up the Inches per minute and have completely eliminated that problem, but the Fusion 360 program is pretty detailed in tool paths, if you have parts that you’re concerned about tipping up when cutting them out it’s easy to add small tabs that you can break off after the part is cut. I think you will benefit by owning a CNC table especially your art projects! I need to look into there newer table and checkout some of its features. Take care 🙂

It’s a little overwhelming at first to learn the Fusion 360 program but I found a few videos on RUclips that I will post, these videos are really what got me past the learning curve, you easily can just follow along and build the parts that the guy is building in the video, it really got me past the struggle of learning something new.

    I was one of the early buyer for the table when it first came out. I've been very pleased with it so far. Fusion360 is great but lets not kid ourselves here, if you've never ever used CAD in your life, it's going to be a steep learning curve, but I can guarantee you that it isn't as steep as say Catia V5 for instance (I have thousand hours of that as a professional)...Mach3, meh I'm ok with it, I mean, it works...glad to hear LS is coming out with their own...I've already bought Mach3 but, if LS has a better software then I don't mind parking Mach3 !
    Also it's important to note that your cutting speed and quality is dependent on your plasma cuter, more so than the table itself.

      Thanks for checking out my video! I really like the Crossfire, it’s definitely a handy tool to have in your shop. It’s definitely making me rethink how I want to build projects. If you have never used Fusion 360 before it will first feel a bit overwhelmed but after a week or two of drawing in the program you will definitely get the hang of it. My next video I post I will put some links in the description to some really helpful Fusion 360 videos I have found on RUclips that really helped me learn the program. Take care Nicholas 🙂

    I highly recommend that plasma anti rust fluid be bought for tables without stainless water tables and slats. You can get a gallon which is mixed with water. For a small table, you don’t need to use the entire gallon. It will make a big difference. It also helps to prevent bacteria buildup which will happen with steel tables filled with water that aren’t emptied and allowed to dry.

    "unlocks precision"
    what are your thinking about the table size, Would you have gone bigger if you had a bigger shop?
    I've been watching Collin furze use his 2'x2' desktop cnc for a year thinking it'd change my life getting one but I'd want to go 8x4 so it'll take a full sheet of metal and I just haven't got the space.

    • @Mikefestiva
      @Mikefestiva  4 года назад

      I had a opportunity to buy a older plasma cam 4x4 table but I decided not to because I really think that Plasma cam company is out for 100% profit, the older stuff is not supported anymore and if you want them to help you in customer support they want you to buy new electronics and software. Enough of that now I think the 25”x33 table is good for my shop, I don’t have a lot of extra room, I also think full 4x8 sheets of metal would be a lot to move in my shop. I talked with a friend with a fab shop and he said he would shear a 4x8 sheet of metal down to 2x4 for me, this will work better for me. All and all I’m sure there will be times when I need a bigger Table but most of the time I see myself cutting smaller parts. Take care 🙂

    Any new thing has a learning curve. For the price it is hard to beat. I remember 30 years ago this table would of cost you 15 to 20k and the program code was quite basic and very costly to expand.

    • @Mikefestiva
      @Mikefestiva  4 года назад

      Thanks for commenting 👍 yes it’s definitely a Learning curve but as you get past the hardest part you really start to figure it out and that is rewarding 🙂 You are right, this table would have been so far out of a regular guys price point years ago, it’s nice to finally have this technology in a home shop!
      I’m definitely going to be using it a lot this next year, I’m starting on a really big project, I’m going to be building a mini articulating dump truck for my property, this CNC is going to be priceless to me for the time it will save duplicating parts for that build! Take care Theodore

    I've used my small plasma table enough to know that not only is a z axis critical but a basic torch height control is also needed especially with thinner material such as 16 gauge or thinner. Even thicker material can warp as your cut it especially if you are doing a lot of cutting in one area such as art work or small parts. It would be awesome if you could get a $1,500 plasma table that functions well but I think this one as is will cause more frustration than it's worth for the reasons stated above.

    I'm curious about the unsupported end of the X-axis. Has anyone experienced backlash/whip? Or any problems with deflection (being pulled down) when the Z-axis carriage gets to that end? Those are my main concerns. Those probably aren't issues, but I feel like I should ask before buying.
