Hello all,
For the past week I have been wandering the world wide web looking for a good set of plans for a build yourself plasma CNC table.. I have had little luck!
I'm not sure who all is familiar with arduino micro controllers and reprap 3d printers.. If your not familiar with them look into it and see what it enables as a social conjoining of great minds!
This is what i see.. I see the opportunity for this CNC zone community to create a new form of personal revenue!
If the people on this forum wanted to we could create a very simple reliable basic plasma table which could have its parts manufactured and sold by any member who wanted to make a few extra bucks im sure such a cnc table would require part's that are milled, lathed, and plasma cut!.
What happens is everyone has the detailed shematics , bill of materials, and access to a resourceful database (created by forum members) for the steps of assembling the well thought out design..
I feel that many of the parts on the market for making cnc tables are overpriced simply because of lack of manufacturing of such parts..
The goal would be to make the system as simple and reliable as possible..
To design all the parts needed with the intention of fellow machinist, welders, "builders" to be able to manufacture the parts.. Doing this will increase availability of the open source system parts and will create a competitive market for the hobbyist to be able to obtain a more affordable quality cnc table!
Anyone who is interested in this feel free to respond with ideas or what they can possibly contribute to make this idea a move forward. also feel free to send me a personal message.
