Hello everyone!

Post by tmdcustoms »

I am just getting my feet wet. Researching self built CNC Plasma cutting tables and all that goes along with them. I have been welding for over 35 years and started with plasma cutting in an industrial environment. I am on my second plasma cutter (I gave my 1st one to my son) I currently own a Powermax 45XP and love it. I am not steady enough to do what I want to free hand, so that is the reason for my interest in building a CNC plasma table.

There is plenty of great information to be had at this forum about building a diy cnc plasma table. Also, Tom has built quite a few (I think at last count it was around 10 of them) and he uses them for cutting, engraving, routing, and more. Check out the DIY section of the forum for more information.
