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.
ESAB’s Crossbow is a compact CNC cutting system that is portable and economical. Crossbow can be equipped with plasma, oxy-fuel or both. With plasma, Crossbow can cut mild steel or aluminum up to 20 mm (3/4 in.), or stainless steel up to 15 mm (5/8 in.) With an oxy-fuel torch, it can cut mild steel up to 100 mm (4 in.) thick.
The easy-to-use CNC includes a library of 24 common shapes that can be configured and cut with a few key-strokes, and without any programming. Crossbow also comes with programming software that will convert CAD drawings into CNC files, and a USB port for quick & easy program transfer.
Crossbow is available with 4’ x 4’ or 5’ x 10’ cutting areas.

You guys have seen bits and pieces of what it’s been like for us to get to know our Shop Sabre CNC plasma table over the past few videos, but we wanted to make a more in-depth video walking you through all the facets of this machine, the good things, the bad things and the things we wish we knew before we bought it!
Consider this an unofficial review hosted by a barely qualified CNC plasma owner/operator. Tay walks you through his thought process before he bought the machine, what it was like to take delivery of it, how the set up process went, what early issues he ran into and what adjustments he’s made since to get the table to cut the way it’s supposed to.
If you’re curious about buying a table like this, we would strongly recommend checking out @ShopSabre CNC their customer service is outstanding and their product is top notch for the money.
A good example of another small (ish) metal shop who does a lot of CNC plasma work is @42Fab – Metal Fabrication & Signage , Tay watched a lot of their videos before pulling the trigger on our own machine.
Also, check out @Maker Table for more juicy plasma and laser cutting content, and to get rad DXF files for your plasma table!
