Homemade CNC Plasma FINISHED! Ep.4
Wissenschaft & Technik
Building a CNC plasma table from scratch finally after many-many months has come to an end. After some steel work, fabrication and welding and months of head scratching and trial & error in the software and hardware department I'm glad to say it's finally finished. This video shows you the very first and awful test cuts with horrible results we encountered in the beginning. But cut after cut the machine got tweaked, each following cut got better and better and finally it works as it should. I learned a lot in the process in the making of this table and have to thank my buddy for designing and building it. Cheers, Blackloop CNC!
I hope you enjoy the video! New 4x4 Off-Road UTV video next week and thanks for watching!

Do you happen to have a parts list available? I've been thinking about a project like this more and more and it would be a great help. Thanks.
17:35 FreeCAD! Donn the DIY plasma king :). How do you get the sketch from FreeCAD to the your plasma or what format does your plasma accept? DXF, SVG, PDF... ?

Plasma requires .tap G-code files.
👏👏👏👏👍👍
How did you get rid of the wavy cuts?
Sei il numero 1, you are number 1
i didn't know freecad... thanks Donn!!! i needed a cad software for my new cnc, subscribed!
Just saw your video and I'm impressed! Good work! I'm building a plasmacutter by my own and I prepared everything for 15mm HDT3 belts. Which belts are you using currently? And what are you planning? Enjoy your CNC!
Well done. Nice and tidy👏👏👏👏
Hi, great video´s. can you say what the project cost, thanks an keep going.
I like these E stop mounted in the desk👍
FEECAD!

Yeah!
Вот это сейчас уровень проектов вверх шагнёт. Было круто, а сейчас заводского уровня будет.
Having your own CNC would be so amazing. EASY money maker.
What an awesome project you guys saw through and the final machine really performs! I'm looking for a supplier that does stamping, bending and laser cutting of glavanised steel sheets 20/10ths thick. Current supplier is CONSISTENLY ALWAYS late.
Great, now make yourself a boiler so you don't have to use wood.
What are the belts you are using?
I hope you have some good ventilation. :)
It's a great build. Very nice.
Now build a cnc press brake and your shop will be next level. Actually there's some nice cheaper horizontal press brakes that are quite versatile. But can only bend 12 inch lengths.
Great job! Bravo!
Belt drive will need periodic adjustment as the belts stretch over time.
And you’d think that a 3 axis CNC machine would be easy to make. My first machine was a plasma table, I feel your pain. The building of the mechanics is pretty straight forward, it’s another world to get it to be running. I would have built a router/mill first had I know lol. Excellent work!
How much did this plasma cutter cost you?
Hello, change the cutting direction. Inner contour-counter clockwise, outer contour-clockwise. You will get better result. Great machine.
Truely a DIY project - kudos!
little tip, add in curve in to the beginning and curve out to the end of pockets and arcs, noticed the flat spot on the doughnut you cut from the 12mm plate. the curve in and curve out prevent overlapping the code and cut areas so the circle wouldn't have had the flat spot on the outer perimeter and it moves pierce locations away from feature lines so you don't happen to blow through the edge of a shape in a thin sign or body panel
You are on another level. You are inventor engineer. Good job

fun to see your build. will soon start building one yourself. what software do you use for your table?
Hello. Can you tell us more about the control cabinet of the plasma machine (from which components you assembled it and how you connected it)
Endlich richtige Brennholzhalter. Nice work :-)
What is the thickness of the plasma cutting stream, ?

Hi. Have you been to Kristine keskus today?
Hi, I am interested in metalwork fabrication for motorcycles. Where can I get such a machine? I am in Nairobi, Kenya. preferably one that can handle upto 2,600 x 1,300mm. Thank you.
This CNC turned out , just fabulous !
This CNC turned out , just fabulous !
I wonder why you chose this size for your plasma cutter workspace. For financial reasons or do you never want to cut out a larger piece (in one)? I'm gonna start my own built soon, so I welcome any advice.
CNBC works great, will make you more productive if that’s possible.
hello...i'm from việt nam ^^
how expensive is your cnc plasma
Now turn it into a rifle and we will be all set to take on the terminators
Здравствуйте, много лет работаю на станках плазменной и лазерной резки, поэтому не могу удержаться от нескольких комментариев: Для 2D проектирования лучше всего подходит программа Компас, очень простая и гибкая Для управления попробуйте поработать в Mach 3 увидите насколько он проще и удобнее именно для работы Купите на барахолке сенсорный монитор - будете экономить кучу времени, плюс несравнимое удобство в работе На али за копейки можно найти и прикрутить в Mach 3 любой блютуз пульт хоть джойстик для удаленного управления и позиционирования резака Сделайте вытяжку от резака, иначе через полгода-год закоптите все помещение рыжей гарью На ночь стол лучше закрывать герметичным экраном или каким по паронепроницаемым чехлом иначе влажность убьет все помещение, листы не помогут На сам носик резака лучше изготовить дистанционную корону с шариками а подвес сделать плавающим - это убережет плазмотрон в внештатных ситуациях и поможет идеально выдерживать зазор даже на неровных листах Для Гипертерма есть недорогие расходники Технокат ну и Али может помочь А так все супер! подобный стол в своей мастерской достраиваю, сухой, 2500*1250 под более распространенный размер листа
Aawh! I need that AAG (automatic angle grinder) too! It makes your work so much easier and so many new opportunities. Great work! Cheers!😜
hey donn could you send a parts list of everything you use for the electronic parts
You have deserved this for a long time. What form of "Cadd" are you using..... I did complete a course in 12.1 an it is probably obsolete now. I am thinking new challenge for you... actually two... solar power panels and water wells.... a drill system that could be set up on Autocad to drill say one hundred feet for shallow wells and not have to cost a arm and a leg. The iron lithium batteries might be a too big step but alternative sources. You are amazing
Awesome !!!
Cool project
It's time to start mass production
Can you reuse the water?
what software do you use for your plasma cutting
Waiting to see the hand held firewood basket... 21:55 YESS! Great video, Donn, super impressed how it's turned out and what you'll be able to do with it.
What software are you using to draw out your cuts?
👍👍👍
Hello my friend, very interesting videos. I would like to know the cost of this product 
Nice job. We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
зря вода под листом материала, я когда до армии на плазмарезке работал - там везде вытяжка была воздушная.. и не с проста видимо. так что нужен вытяжной вентилятор и без воды. будет лучше. в остальном - молодчаги ))
You are a tough master. If you want to increase your audience of viewers, then make subtitles also in Russian.

Congratz on successfully completing this complicated project, Iron man!
super.
Hi Donn, just want to let you know your cutting in the wrong direction. Anti clockwise for inside cuts. Clockwise for outside cuts. Good to see you have a plasma table now. I've been waiting for you to build one! "ENJOY IT MY FRIEND"
.
Hello! Just a tip from company who work dily with sheet and pipe cutting with plasma. - don't place a starting and finish points close to finish part but in a scrap part - like a 5-10mm from cutting line
Good job.
Да, аппарат шикарный. Инструмент. Когда отстроенный здорово экономит время.
Well done job!
What was the ballpark price at the end?
Если серьезно, крутой проект! Дальнейших успехов 👋
О нет... Советские звезды 😱 )))
👍👍👍
Талантливый человек талантен во всём👍👍👍
Nice job. My cnc will do wood and plasma. I hope it can be successful as yours.
Great job, looks like you used NEMA 23 Stepper motors. I would like to understand more about the Z Axis controls. I plan to make my own also. A lot to learn before I start though. Thanks very much for sharing this project.
A real twin at work with good luck
More ads than video.
Use finecut consumables but i am not sure is these are available for this pmx. Also missing a torch breakaway system. You canalso try to preflow air before piering to prevent a wet electrode.
Start talking man...
Change the direction of your cuts, parts will have less edge taper. ID is cut counter clockwise, OD is cut clockwise.
Great job!! Respect you! How costs all can I know ?
what software you use to draw parts ...///??
Next up: A weight driven wall clock with plasma cut gears for the shop wall?
How much it cost?
хочу такой же себе ))
играть можно бесконечно со станком )) такие классные вещи можно им делать
сколько такая установка вышла по деньгам ?

Are you not going to add anti-freeze to the water to stop it from rusting the insides of the water tray ?
Sweet cnc brother 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 cant wait for your 4x4 build next week 😱😱😱😱 watching all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
