Great video and so true. My son and I built his plasma table. His water pan is removable so we take the slats out, remove the pan and scrape and pressure wash it and then give it a fresh coat of paint after a little wire wheeling. Also, we plumbed the drain to have a dross trap and can hook a garden hose to it so we can drain the water out of the shop without having to roll it out. His table is 4'x8' and he has plans to make a 5'x10' with a down draft vent so we won't have to deal with the mess of a water table.
Thanks, Kevin! It's just the one downside of having a water table, and most don't know about the mess when you have to clean it out before the buy one!
I'm building a table and I was going to end up spending a lot of time and money on painting all the structure. Then I realized how filthy the machine gets in a few months time. Now I'm just going to paint it flat black and save the effort
Just had to clean my table at work which is without water and 6000x2500mm. It's the best part. No can't wait to get a water table with belts that drives all the slag outside
My suggestion would be a water table as I have, which minimizes the effects of smoke greatly, but it comes with a lot of maintenance as shown in the video! The only other option is to have a fume extraction system, either below or above the cutting table, which is a significant investment. If you can remove the smoke directly to the outside, it could work very efficiently, but in my case, I would need a separate air exchange system with a heating unit, because of the freezing temperatures here in Minnesota during the cold season. I hope this is helpful!
Thanks for the great video. I have had to clean mine twice and it’s definitely not fun! The metal dustpan idea is a great idea. What additive are you using? I seem so have quite a bit of rust after a short time. Thanks!
I have to clean mine about twice a year, so it's not too bad! In regards to the additive in my water tank, I use Plasma Defense, which I buy in 5gal buckets from Shopsabre for around $170. I made the dustpan out of 12ga, which is very heavy, and if you want to make one, I think 16ga would do the trick! I'm considering redoing mine! I hope this is helpful!
@@wolfgangsixl9283 Thanks for the reply. I liked your “dust pan” idea so much that I plasma cut two different sizes. I am getting ready to clean my table out again. I have been using the plasma defense as well. I must have gotten a bad batch or something. Everyone I know who uses it has always had really good luck. I have another pale of it I’m going to use. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Thanks for your feedback! It's greatly appreciated! A downdraft wouldn't work for me, so I have to deal with the mess of a water tank!
Hope you continue to post video. You have a lot of great ideas.
Thank you for your very nice feedback! I will try my best to keep them coming!
Nice Job Wolfgang!

It's hard to keep it clean, so flat black is a good way to go!!!

It's a mess at any rate, but it has to get done!!!
You should try a powerful dry ice blaster like the karcher 15/120 to clean all the slags
I'll look into it! Thanks for letting me know!
How to reduce smoke in plasma cutting machine(CNC) sir...
Give me an suggestion...plz

@@MrRoscoj Would you be willing to show some pictures of your "slush pans!??? I'd love to see what you ended up doing!
what you add in the water that can resist the rust?
I use the product named Plasma Defense, and it has worked well over the years!!
Everybody wants a discount on cutting yet no one shows up when it's time to clean out the water table..
Isn't that the truth!!!! People have no idea of what it all takes!
@@6ldesignsmetalinmotion217 I have a dedicated shop[ vac for the plaz table and try to keep it clean as I go vs the BIG clean out..
Hi Wolfgang ,what's your latest video?
Haven't had much time to make one lately!!!
