A plasma cutter is a new type of thermal cutting machine for metal fabrication, which uses working gas and plasma arc with high-speed & high-temperature as the heat source to melt the metal locally, and blow away the molten metal with high-speed airflow at the same time to form a narrow plasma cut seams.

Here is my prototype portable CNC plasma cutter. It is controlled by an Arduino UNO with GRBL loaded on it. The machine is 2 feet by 2 feet and have a cutting area of 16 inches by 16 inches.

Part 4 of a series on how to build a CNC plasma cutter table. All the parts are complete. Check out my playlist for the build below. In this video, I am wiring the electronics of the CNC table. Some back story this is my 3rd build of a CNC plasma table. The first build you see in this video, while the second one I made was for a friend, featured in the THC video on my channel. This design is based on the design I designed for my friend. Hope this video helps.
I’ve updated the wiring diagram. This updated version should be a lot more clear than the one in this video. The updated version is located in the google drive folder under the name “Wiring Diagram Updated.”

Notes:
* These are the linear rails I bought, though because I don’t have space in my shop I have to keep my machine outside and these rails have rusted, just keep this in mind
** I know the linked Stepper Motor Driver is unavailable. I just wanted to link the exact one I used. The second link is a driver that looks similar, I just have not used it so can’t guarantee anything

Are you like so many other CNC plasma cutting table operators out there that need to cut off their scrap material? Well, we’ve got you covered! In this video we teach you how to rip cut your material, or in other words, sever the plate one direction at a time.
This can be a very useful tool to use while operating the table. Let us know in the comment section below if you would like any more CNC plasma cutting tips and tricks!
