Making a DIY plasma cutting table, simple water table
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- **This is a simple solution to building a basic plasma cutting table that doesn’t make a mess of your shop. After using my Crossfire CNC plasma with the water table for the past few years, I have been really amazed how well the water table cuts down on smoke and sparks in the shop. So I decided to make a simple DIY water table for free hand plasma cutting. This table is something that you can build in a few hours with mostly salvaged metal, there’s Amazon links below for the stainless trays and parts used to make the magnetic rulers.
This is the Crossfire CNC plasma table from Langmuir systems.
Here’s an affiliate link to the Crossfire website if you are interested in checking out the table

There's a guy up in Canada Names Brent Show Called Half assed customs. He's computer programmer or something by day after work he builds amazing stuff from nothing. He's got 4' by 8 or bigger homemade plasma water table he made for 700.00 bucks. He explained it in one of his episodes. Super mellow like yourself. Just him and pablo his dog. He's all self taught. Check it out. Thanks.
*What are you doing @**17:06** with the Herc Angle Grinder? Making sure you've got ground conductivity?*
Mike
do you by chance know the wire gauge on the BestArc power input, I got a lotos, have not used it. Has 12ga current with 14 ga neutral. Lotos, similar spec profile, 12 ga Seems skimpy. Too skimpy for 50A, Lotos people say its rated 30A. I could still return it for bestarc
$100 cheaper
Its crazy how a watertable makes plasma cutting a cleaner process! Very good idea
I'd like to see more little diys like this!
Sounds good 👍 I definitely have more DIY projects coming soon!
Mike, magnetic strips are found in the seals of refrigerator and freezer doors, and a tube of adhesive from Dollar Tree would also suffice. Some time ago, a teacher asked me to source some magnetic strips, so I got them after asking from an appliance store. Her students made magnetic refrigerator signs for the fridge.
I understand the value of making these small improvements. We are all so 'time poor' these days every little helps. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mike.
Cheers Mike. Thanks for all the effort you put in.
Hey Mike. Love your videos. Have used many of your ideas and you have inspired many others. I try to keep my shop as clean as possible too. It's a never ending battle. Something I wanted to mention was a way to trap most of the shaving from your Evolution saw.
I have the same one and you likely know this, but if you put a good magnet in a small snack size zip lock bag it will catch most of those shards & chips from your Evolution cut off saw. There is a good spot to place it right where this chips hit the back. Unzip the ziplock bag over a trash can & pull off bag inside out to empty shavings. I have upgraded that idea with a mini mag safe magnet with switch on and off. If bag big enough simple turn on and off the magnet w/o ever opening the bag. Works so well I have another one under my Porta Band Saw table (inspired by you). You have helped me find simpler ways to improve my shop, I'm hoping you never tried this so I can help you out in your shop.
Thanks for the inspiration Mike!
Great idea!!!! Thanks again Mike
Thanks Mike
The magnetic tool holder bars from Harbor freight make great guides too. I grabbed 10 of them when they still had coupons.
Pretty cool little project.
Thanks for sharing Mike!
Great tips Mike! Thanks!
this guy is GOOD, literate, good communicator
Love the simple mag guides. Great idea.
I love this setup - perfect for a small shop, or someone like me who like to do a little of everything!
Thanks for sharing Mike.
Thanks for checking out my new video Mitala 👍🙂
Excellent job Mike, thanks for taking the time to share. Cheers
Simple but effective as usual sir. Keep it up.
Quite a good idea 👏
Very imaginative ideas and great tips. Thanks.
Thanks for the smart build Mike!
Excellent 💯
I was thinking of making a small plasma table this summer too.
Nice!
Great information Mike, keep it coming!
I like the simple projects too. Thanks
I’m just starting to set up my shop at home and one of these tables is probably the first thing I’ll make. I’m glad I found your video.
Perfect little table for guys like me who don't have a cnc table and always freehand our cuts!!!
Great video can’t wait to make one!!
Great idea on the magnets on the ruler.
Thanks for checking out my plasma table video 👍 I was just in the shop using it about an hour ago! Works great 👍
Very clever Mike! Thanks
Practical and useful.
Looks handy
What a great idea! I’ll be adding this to my shop soon.
Great work! It is rad to see your skills!
Really cool idea. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Thanks Mike, I just ordered the Bestarc and can't wait to get cutting. I will definitely be making a little cutting table like this that will pull out from under my welding table. Thanks for all the inspiring ideas, keep em coming!
Just got the Bestarc last week.
It's awesome, and great features for the money 👍
That is pretty ingenious with the rulers. You are very inspiring I have not used any kind of welder in 30 years started researching welders recently and after watching a few of your videos I pulled the trigger and bought a welder. Have yet to get it functioning but looking forward to tinkering around once I get it operational.
Scored a bestarc 500dp 3rd gen after seeing your review. And I agree all your likes were on point when compared to others similar. I haven't cut much yet but so far I like it.
More great tips Mike. Thanx.
Very cool little project, you definitely put a lot of thought into them.
Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. I always enjoy your videos. God bless you and your family.
Thanks for checking out my new video! 🙂
Nice little project Mike
Great video! Thanks for sharing it with us
More great ideas! I built a portaband stand similar to the one you built, now I have to build this for the cheap plasma cutter you inspired me to purchase. Thanks for all the great tips.👍
Awesome 👍
Awesome video as always Mike!!
Thank Jason!
Genius
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thanks man 👍 I really appreciate it!
Hey Mike, I got the rulers from your aff link today. The quality is incredible. Thanks for highlighting them.
Great Video Mike .
Thanks Mike. I like that idea. Great Video...
Thanks Mike, that is a great little project. You come up with some awesome ideas! Keep'em coming!!
Thanks Jerry! I really appreciate it 👍
I have some other really cool plasma ideas coming soon!
Thanks Mike love your content!!!!
Appreciate it Don
Cool water table idea! magnetic ruler guide trick. I'll be looking into that for sure! Thanks Mike!
Thank you Bert!
Bless Another just simple & to the point video. Thanks 😊 so much. 😁
Thanks for watching John!
great idea for a magnetic ruler!
Thanks for checking out my video Mike! 🙂👍
Thanks for another awesome video. You're motivating me to get out to the shop; it's starting to warm up over her in the Northeast.
can't thank you enough Mike for the magical inspirational work you put together in all of your videos!! you have a really awesome talent at inspiring others to dive in and DIY!!!!
Thanks Dave! I really appreciate it 👍
I actually really appreciate the RUclips videos you make Dave! They remind me to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life and live in the moment more! Thanks Dave 👍🙂
@@Mikefestiva :) :) :) :) :)
As always, great video Mike! Really awsome idea for a budget shop addition! Really like the small modular size.
Thank you Danny!
This is genius.
Mike I’m making this ASAP thanks.
Right on thanks Sean!
Thanks Mike for the tips. Very timely as I’ve been coincidentally designing a similar water tray for my welding table. My plan was to have the grid permanently attached but be able to swing down out of the way and add a rail underneath to slide in a water tray. I was going to fab up the water tray. Not sure why I didn’t think of the restaurant steam tray as I use a deep one under my 2x72 belt grinder. 🤦♂️ Good thing I’m still in the design phase. 😜
Awesome idea!!
Thanks buddy! I appreciate you checking out my new video 👍🙂
How’s the weather been out where you live? It’s starting to feel like early spring out west, some bees and some green buds starting to come out, I have even seen some flowers and frogs 😊
It’s been so beautiful I love spring it’s my fav time of the year I started a big garden and planted some more fruit trees 😊🐝
Great video.
Super practical, thanks @Mike!
Thanks Tom! 🙂👍
Love your innovative thinking Mike. Always look forward to your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Glenn! I really appreciate it 👍🙂
looks good Mike, mine is just 24x24 inches size out of scrap and the pan is a old roasting pan great Idea's from you as always it helps all of us. thanks Chris
Awesome and thanks Chris!!!
Great video, thank you
Nice 👍 great idea.
That's a really cool idea, I think I'm going to build one of those for my shop, loose sparks causing a fire are a concern in my shop, so this would definitely make my plasma more useful.
I just made one myself and used a single bowl stainless sink. Thanks for the inspiration.
Right on! 🙂👍
Learn so much watching yr videos!
I really like the magnetic ruler I'm just getting into plasma cutting and was looking for ideas for a good clean cut
Great video Mike love these little affordable hacks they are perfect !
Thanks Brandon! It’s a lot of fun thinking these projects up 👍🙂
@@Mikefestiva it’s a lot of fun seeing what you come up with too!
very nice! I have to do the same. Building a combo welding, CNC, laser, plasma table. The magnetic ruler is such a great idea. Subscribed!
Great Mig gun holster! I just recycled one of those jacks a couple of months ago. :-(
Uh oh. Jimbo at Big Jim's Garage says he'd like you to call him. Right now.
That is awesome quick and simple projects like this are always helpful the magnetic rulers are a great idea!
Thanks Patrick
great video
Thanks very much for coming back to us repeatedly with your reviews of various machines. I don't personally find reviews terribly helpful when things are brand new, but having the user report back after 3 months, 6 months, etc really creates a lot of confidence. I'm holding out for the Bestarc. I'm sure the other machine might be just as good, but I've waited a long time for a plasma cutter, I'd rather wait a little bit longer and know that I'm getting something pretty decent. Pretty shocked at how cheap they have become in general
Thank you Jean Paul
Mike, Mick here. Putting this idea and design to work right now. Thanks brother.
Nice 👍
Have an excellent weekend Mick!
@@Mikefestiva you too Mike.
Awesome as always. Getting the magnet tape and rulers now.
Thanks Tom!
Mike - I’m looking at building a shop and my mind immediately reminded me of your channel and your fabricating setup.
Awesome 👍
Good tips Mike! I especially like the magnetic rulers. I think everyone who has ever tried to do some scribing on metal will recognize the moment when you try to scribe the ruler it will always try to move on ya' no matter how tight you press it against the metal. Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark
Thanks a lot Mark and thanks so much for watching 👍
Excelent . Nice
Thanks for that information makes it easy for me to make my table all the best to you and loved one's
Thanks for checking out my new video Donald! 🙂
Bought a cutter for new poll barn I'm building love what your doing here in michigan you have great ideas hope to be using some of them soon thanks for what your doing
Thank you Rodney and thank for watching 👍
I have bunch of metal bed frames that I gleaned from the dump. This would be the perfect project to make with my plasma cutter. Thanks
Perfect! 👍
Great ideas Mike! I'm ordering the rulers and magnets right now!
I order them too 👍😎👍
Awesome 👍
I dont have a shop but i am looking into a hobart 27i plasma. I already have a hobart 190 mig and have been really happy with it. Main reason why i initially went hobart is ive heard lots of good on them and they are at tsc so i can get consumables really easy. I just ordered steel to make myself a welding wagon. That way everything i normally need is all together and portable in 1 trip. I am thinking about some sort of welding table though
great content for an easy 7 useful project.
Great idea man!!! Might need to make one of these as well
Some really great ideas Mike. Step one for me, however, is to get my Crossfire Pro setup and running first.
Great idea Mike! Makes me want to get more proficient with my plasma cutter!
Awesome project , will be very handy ! Thanks so much bud !!! Btw , love your channel, so informative !!!!!!
appreciated it David 👍
Great video Mike! It’s not as elaborate as some of your other videos, but it’s definitely near the top in usefulness! I’m now kicking myself for all the packing framework I’ve thrown out. And thanks for the magnetic ruler idea. I put that right up there with your magnetic grinding station! Hope you’re doing well up in the Northwest this winter!
Thanks Todd!
Great vid mike! Cant wait to get a welder and start fabbing!!
Another cool little project, anything I can do to practice with the welder is great…thanks for the upload dude..:)
Nice video and idea
Thank you! Cheers!
