In this video, I summarized quickly all the tricks and tips that I did to make my cheap plasma cutter cut50P (P for “pilot arc”) works perfectly with my home-built CNC plasma cutting table.
– 1st tip: Use bigger torch that was designed for higher current. That way the nozzle and the electrode will last longer and the cut quality will be more consistent.
– 2nd tip: Connect the trigger wire directly from the connector on the plasma cutter to the relay and keep it far away from the pilot arc wire and the the air hose to avoid HF noises and interference.
– 3rd tip: If your arc is sputtering, the plasma cutter doesn’t cut continuously, you will have to check inside the plasma cutter and adjust the spark gap. Keep it at reasonable distance (0.8mm following the manufacture manual).
– 4th tip: use 220V instead of 110V. 220V will make the arc more stable and also the plasma cutter will have higher duty cycle when cutting at high amperage.

Video description :
Hi, Jim Colt here with MaverickCNC, we have a Hypertherm plasma cutting system on this machine.
Just a little tip, we get questions all the time about cutting diamond plate or tread plate, often it’s aluminum, decorative aluminum tread plate or steel tread plate, it might be used in a truck body and because it has all those little bumps, all those little treads on it, a lot of people ask questions about it. It really depends which way you cut it, there are two choices one is to cut it with the bumps up, one is to cut it with the bumps down.
If you have a machine with no height control or poor height control – cut it with the bumps down because your going to have collusions, your going to have problems with the bumps on it. If you have a machine with a good quality integrated height control, like this MaverickCNC has, put the bumps up and your going to get the best quality.
What you want to do for the thickness rating of it, the nominal thickness of the material, not including the bump is the speed rating and the spec that you should actually set for, right out of the cut charts that are built into the CNC control or in the Hypertherm manual so put the bumps up, cut it like it’s just a piece of eighth inch steel, has an eighth inch nominal thickness and your going to get the best cut quality. It’s kind of fun to watch as the torch height control accurately climbs over every one of those bumps without making contact with the plate.
Very good process and it’s a good way to cut that material where it’s a material that people thought, in the past, they had to cut it with a hand plasma torch or with a shear and today it can be cut on CNC cutting tables.

I added slats to my DIY CNC plasma table in this video. the slats are made of 16ga hot rolled steel. I made the slat supports out of 1 1/2″ angle, cutting one leg of the angle every 3″. I used the CNC plasma table to cut the slats. it did work out the greatest because of an ARK ok light issue. im super happy with how the slats came out.
