Thank you for your reply. I will check them out and contact VXB.

Hello. This is very specific to the Hypertherm inner workings and, short of calling for technical support, my best hope is that Jim Colt of Hypertherm will please answer my question. Posting here...

Hello. I have a CNC plasma table I built myself and I used some 80/20 for the slide for the torch. It all works, has for 3 years, but it's a honking big monstrosity. I'd like to go to something...

I'm not sure what the Plasma Viper is (an individual? a company?) but CandCNC is the manufacturer. The guy who owns the company and engineered the products (I gather) posts on here as Torchead. ...

When I searched for PQ recipes I first found (and then quit looking further) PoB's posting. In the interest of fairness I gave credit there because that's who posted it. PoB did not represent it as...

Hey, WSS, seen/read/got some of your posts, thanks for the time you put into the forums.

Callie (calico cat, not an original name by any means) is fine, actually, thank you for asking. After 200...

Hey, Tig, two thoughts...first, if you're going to have the part(s) made from scratch I would first try to adapt/butcher/manhandle what you've got to work...nothing to lose...if you booger it up, so...

You did better than I did in your homework. However, at the end of the day, for my mind and the way it works (well, it works sometimes, anyway) I liked designing the thing (drive mechanism) from...

In my setup I use two keyboards, one at the console, one via a USB extension cable. I have the one extended one so I can walk around my table (62" by 146" total with 60" x 126" cuttable) and...

I don't think I mentioned that I bought some stuff from cncrouterparts.com and if I did I apologize for the redundant info.

First, I have bought a number of items from Ahren at CRP and the stuff...

I have Sodium Nitrite and Physan 20 in my water table (now, and no longer sodium carbonate which didn't seem effective). I cut a 4x8 sheet of 1/4 inch today, about 35 parts with 47 cuts (an eight...

Color me chagrined. Bill, I owe you a cold brew and a band-aid.

:cheers:

Tig, I'm sorry for the delay...I don't frequent the boards much and I've not logged into the e-mail account that I get notices on...sorry.

I used a regular rocker style switch that stays in either...

I found a better way to do this in CorelDRAW. I create the text I want and then convert to curves, just like before. Break the curve apart then combine each individual letter (the ones with islands...

I got the same kit, basically, as you did 4 axis DragonCut w/ 620 motors. Lots of good info in the manuals on CD that CandCNC include. I got the current sensor probe (Digital Current Probe). Don't...

Absolutely not. I'm sorry, I must be incorrect. I've been reading so many posts about CNC tables it's hard to remember every detail. In this case, I'd been reading some information posted by one...

Okay, preliminary results are in. Background: I had the water table flooded with H2O and Sodium Carbonate. That rusted like a #$#^. Not flaky stuff, just blistering flash poofy fungus type rust. ...

I see some people have replied about using Washing Soda. From my research, Washing Soda is Sodium Carbonate (not Sodium Bicarbonate which is Baking Soda). I could not find "Washing Soda" at two...

I've got my water table done. I put about 4 cups of sodium carbonate in it. The table is rusting anyway (filled for a week). Maybe not as much as if it was plain water but I don't know. I would...

Rats. Still, thank you for the reply.

Okay, gotcha. I looked up the 85 and it sounds cool and about the same price I paid for my 1250 two years ago. I ordered my 1250 for a plasma table I was going to buy but then chickened out on the...

Hey, folks, I'm doing some CNC plasma cutting with a table I just built and one of the things I'm doing is cutting letters. One of the things I'm doing is cutting letters from the stock with the...

Hey, not to hijack the thread but what do you mean by the "1250-to-85" transition? I have a 1250 and it seems Hypertherm is no longer making it in lieu of some new model...but what's the...

Thanks, I Lean, I will look at their stuff this evening.

Hello, WSS, thanks for the reply. I can not bore it to 1/2" as there is not sufficient material left to allow it (I got it pretty thin when I went to 3/8" from the original 1/4"). Thinking of what...

Hello, folks, I built a CNC Plasma table and it's got at least one problem.

I put it together and it ran but I found some small test parts were not correct even though I built my own drive...

Hello, I have a CNC plasma table and, while not fully functional (I'm here to post for some suggestions to get it working right) have spent a bit of time on the water table design. Maybe this will...
