Hi -
I did a search and didn't find anything on this -

I have a new-to-me MB19 that hasn't been all that well taken care of, and it has plugged oil lines so I'm going through them all, as well...

ah - rtfm? lol thanks for the link, Jim!

I was also looking at the 65 and 85, but not sure I could do the 100A....so may have to go w/ the 65.

If you go to the Hypertherm website for the PM85 and look at the Specs tab, it shows the following input current for single phase:

200/208/240/480 V, 1-PH, 70/68/58/29 A

So I'd go with those...

Thanks - beekeeper, I pm'd you.

I got a few PMs on this will start from there. I shoulda' done some formal 2d drawings from the start - duh. lol

Quick bump; would it help if I provided ProE drawings?

Also, I didn't mean to make it sound in the original post like I'm cheap and want it done for free :-) I know that good work costs. ...

Hi folks -
Looking for a quote from any home machinists on the attached. It's a support for a blade guide on a bandsaw. The ears broke off and was welded on and brazed on. I said screw it - it...

C.Michael -

Interesting pics of the rail setup. Do you have a build log anywhere that shows more details of your machine design?

Thanks-

Hi Tulsaturbo -
Interesting build. I remember looking through your build awhile back, but now I bookmarked it. I like the way you have the x motors vertical to save some space.

I was...

Nope, you're not discouraging at all. I appreciate the comments coming from experience.

I got hooked on the plasma idea through a community college welding class I took. They had an ancient...

So, what you're saying Tom, is that my wife is going to be really unappreciative of the plasma CNC sharing the garage with her laundry closet.... I see.

You bring up some good points. The...

Thanks for the input, Mike. Building an all-in-one has me feeling like I'd end up with a machine that wouldn't do either function well, but I like the idea of what you describe, where I could switch...

I've been reading here for awhile with the intent to build up a machine starting in the next six months or so.

I am an avid woodworker with a well equipped wood shop, but like to weld as well...

Thanks - I get it now.

Fantastic build info. I've been browsing for a couple months here for ideas, and I have to say this is one of the simplest, cleanest designs I've seen yet. Very straightforward.

A couple simple...

Thanks for the explanation, bigtoy. Your description, along w/ your pic in post #29 makes sense. After the limit switch is tripped, is there some sort of holding mechanism (e.g. electromechanical...

Impressive build; thanks for documenting it. Makes it look easy!

I'm just starting research, sorry if this is an obvious question - can you/someone help me understand what the concept behind the...
