Depending on the water level, the water table will capture at least 90% of the smoke. If you keep the water just below the plate, it will also quench the material and reduce distortion. The down side...

How many degrees are you wrapping around the tube? The dimensions that you give here will not work. If you are trying to make 90 degrees using three pieces, then they must be 30 degrees each. Is the...

I hope you have awindow thaty ou can remove so that you can install a big fan to pump as much air out of that small room as possible!
With a low ceiling, it is going to become very unpleasant in...

Depending on how much stiffness the molded ribs provide, you will be able to pressurize it somewhat, but it will be slow to transfer water, that is why I prefer an air baffle inside the water table -...

Actually, the rods (which are very pricey BTW), are aluminum brazing rods and the manufacturers claim that they work on all NON ferrous metals. Different companies offer competing product with...

The pieces in the background appear to be aluminum with copper cladding. The milled sections reveal the aluminum base plate. The copper collar on the alumnum shaft has impressions from the lathe...

What is your pipe I.D. and rod dia.? If you are going to shrink the collar on, you will need 1-2 thou. interference and very little out of roundness. You will get a lot more expansion by heating with...

It looks like you are wanting to CRIMP the pipe, which means you presently have a slip fit.
To create a press fit, you would force the rod into the pipe if the inside dia. of the pipe is undersize....

This question is aimed at Jim Colt from Hypertherm, but if any body has an HD3070 and has installed the new upgrade kit, let me know what you think of the increase in performance.
I have been...

When you make your purchase, keep in mind the operating cost of the plasma cutter as well as the purchase price. The consumables on the Hypertherm units have traditionally been the longest lasting,...

Does anybody out there have an older version of the Merlin 6000 that has only two pilot resistors instead of three that the later versions came with.
After moving into a new shop, we haven't been...

I think you get my drift regarding the two tanks. The inner tank which is open on the bottom should be about 1" off of the floor of the main tank. The air inlet is on the most convenient corner (home...

The inner box which is inverted is fixed in position, and doesn't move. When you add water, it will fill close to the top. When you open the air valve, it pushes the water out and up the sides which...

Very good start to your table. An alternative to a holding tank for your water would be installing an air bladder. My table is pretty much the esame as yours, and I built an open tank that just fit...

Ironman:
If you have a mag drill, drill a 1/4" pilot hole at the edge of your pierce point. You will be able to start your cuts without having slag blow back, which will keep your tip clean...

The belts that I am using are 5.5 meters each on the y axis and 9.5 meters on the x axis.
I had a 12 meter belt that I cut in half to replace the ones on the y axis, but although th e sprockets were...

I was able to order cut to length belt from a local industrial bearing supplier. Measure your belt carefully, as the same tooth pitch is available in more than one tooth profile, and the belt won't...

My 14"cold cut saw runs 400rpm slower than my chop saw, and it is still on the fast side. MC has a good idea. I have a speed control made for routers that I use for plastics that you can pick up at...

It would be a good idea to check for any carbide teeth that may have been damaged when you had your kick-back. With aluminum, I like to keep the blade lubricated, as it tends to grab the aluminum as...

The machine was custom built. Everything is off the shelf. Ihad intended to buy a dynatorch, but changed my mind at the last minute. I wasn't sure if the table would be rugged enough, and if problems...

Hello,
Ive been enjoying the forums but have never posted. Ihave a used cnc plasma that I purchased and will be making a number of inquiries re software, servo tuning, etc. Machine is running, but...
