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.

Adding Slats to My DIY CNC Plasma Table | CNC Cutting Slats

The Off Road Corner

November 23, 2022

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.
Thanks for Watching!

DIY CNC plasma cutting table – Making the right choices for interference free cuttings

I finally got to a setup of my CNC plasma cutting table that is interference free. That I can cut successfully every time without worrying that the high frequency noise will stop Mach3 in the middle.
This was achieved by using a breakout board that is connected to Mach3 through an Ethernet port.
The Ethernet protocol is more resilient against interference because the platform was design to transmit signal through a long distance without the errors inserted into the information being transmitted.
There are other choices of plasma cutter that can help avoiding the interference from the source, such as: blowback pilot arc plasma cutter, scratch off arc start plasma cutter.
Those plasma cutters don’t use high frequency voltage to initiate the arc, therefore, no high frequency interference.
With type of plasma cutters, you can use an USB breakout board for the low cost and convenience. But an Ethernet breakout controller board is still a better choice.
Mach3 or other platform that support the function of a THC system are recommended, therefore, GRBL based controller are not considered for plasma cutter for the lack of compatibility with THC system.

DIY CNC Milling machine build.

My objective for this project was to design and build a CNC milling machine without the need for any machining of the parts. Ordinarily, building a mill requires a much bigger mill to get the axis surfaces flat and parallel.

By using aluminium tool plate (which is in theory pre-machined flat) and bolting the critical components rather than welding, it should be possible to avoid any machine work. After all, I’m building a mill because I don’t have one!

Linear rails and ball screws are the cheap Chinese 20mm style that you can find on eBay etc.

CNC Machining Steel Bracket with Tormach PCNC Mill – MFG@Home!

NYC CNC

October 31, 2022

Tormach PCNC 1100! Tormach PSG! Emco V13 Lathe! Solidworks! Sprutcam!

A customer had a worn-out aluminum bracket used to drive a crank arm off a motor. Using the Tormach PCNC 1100, the Tormach Personal Surface Grinder and Emco V13 lathe, we made a much stronger replacement bracket include a custom shoulder bolt to accommodate the fact that the bracket could not be expanded on the left hand side due to machine clearance!

A good example of balancing an improved design, pride of workmanship but also getting it done efficiently!
