    Hi Rob, just wanted to get in touch and say thankyou again for your plasma table build videos, which have helped me to build my own. I have created a RUclips channel for my business (Rusty's Metal Cut Signs & Designs) where I've uploaded the video series on how I built my own table. Part 6, of the table actually cutting some metal, will be uploaded shortly. If you look closely, my table looks a bit like yours!! PS: I had previously commented on your videos, under my other channel, Rusty's Outback Adventures. My new channel is dedicated to my plasma cutting business....hence the new channel name that I've commented using today. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family.

    A self centering steady rest with roller guides would be perfect to hold the tubing and copper braided flat band on flat chuck spacer wrapped half over it with a 1 lbs weight hanging down with ground to plasma I use wd40 on my chuck spacer and works flawless.
    Very neat job nice work Rob

    Nice Rob, Might need one of those fancy holders for the end. I'm boding my torch holder again for stiffness.
    Good luck with your build!

      Yeah, agreed. Need a breakout for sure. One of the reasons I 3d printed it.......breakability 😆

      Using sheetcam rotary. It's pretty good.

    nice work! You should chuck the Mach 3 all together and try hooking up a myplasm unit. It has tube cutting as a built in feature.

    • @robbroomfield468
      @robbroomfield468  2 года назад

      It does and it doesn't. I run myplasm on my 8ftx4ft would not run anything else. I've spoken to Lukas and he says it's still very much beta. When we get better functionality I'll jump ship 😆 🤣

      Hey.......check my new vid. Mach3 was too cumbersome. Thanks for the heads up 😅

    I see so much potential here. Perhaps a thin marker could be substituted so you can measure the holes roundness. Or if you have a drag engraver you could really measure the exact hole sizes.

    Looking good, Rob. That is going to be a great addition to your workshop. I do love the control box stand with laptop....mind if I borrow that for my plasma cutting table???

    Could i ask ,why this tube plasma is floating plasma head, why ohmic sensor is not enought?

    • @robbroomfield468
      @robbroomfield468  3 года назад

      The ohmic sensor cap is a spare. I'm using mach three and it doesn't directly support ohmic.....unless I'm missing something, so I use floating head limit switch for the probe input. Hope this helps

      Hi Bradley
      Yes you can. What I found was finding software that allowed you to unfold the shape you need. But it is definitely capable. Rob
