Building a CNC plasma table from scratch with a friend from Blackloop CNC. I’m doing the easy part of steel work, fabrication and welding. He’s the specialist who builds CNC tables, routers and 3D printers too, on his spare time currently still as a hobby. This is the first episode in a series of upcoming episodes about this plasma table. I still need to add water pan with sheet holding ribs in it, install the electrical box somewhere, make some usable surface underneath the plasma table etc. And finally build an addition to my workshop only to separate the plasma table from the grinding dust in the workshop. I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

Today we get to check out some interesting kits from Bobscnc.com . These are CNC routers that have frames made from wood! This makes them comparatively very cheap. Do they work? Yup.
