I've been on this board a while so decided to share some pictures of my small cnc plasma cutting machine. I don't have much room in my shop so this little machine has been a blessing as it has fulfilled my current needs. It was originally a portable unit but I have recently upgraded to adding legs and enclosing the table frame. The plasma cutting slat supports were added to the inside portion of the table frame assembly. This will allow to "bow" the support rails when placing them inside to keep them rigid. I should be able to now switch easily between a router for wood work and plasma for steel cutting just by adding/removing a tabletop. This machine has a cutting area of 29" x 29". Rack & pinion on all 3 axis utilizing dual motors on the gantry. Six inches of Z axis travel with built in "float" for "touch and go" cutting. Electronics is the G540 controlled by Mach3, Hypertherm PowerMax 45 Plasma Cutter.
Recently purchased the LCTHC from CandCNC. Hoping to get it installed soon when I get some free time... In the process of making the water tray for this machine as well. I'll have more pics soon...
