Thanks for the update. I recall your headaches the DT. That poor support sours a guy from ever going back to the table.

JP,
I raise the water so it's just touching the bottom of the material. I have covered the thin material completely and that work great too. On your slats, how will you load your table? I'm...
I have been following several table builds and wanted to post on old YouTube video on my water table.
This table is now 15 years old and I have kept the now defunct Plasma Quench from Koal...
JP,
I'm enjoying your build.
Where will the four 30mm rails go. I'm used to seeing one 30mm rail/ X-axis side?
Guessing you traded with my friends in Salisbury, NC for your HIWIN material :)

assink,
your link is bad. and my Dutch reading skills are poor too.
Glad to help Dan !
Tom
Dan,
Call or email Leon Drake. He built that unit and he'll take care of you. I'm guessing the battery back-up is dead and you are in the water.
No worries.
Tom
I would buy the 125. Bigger is better in my opinion. I have the 1650 and will replace with the 125.
Best,
Tom
Jim or others,
Can this machine run on shop air alone or is oxy or nitro required? or a combination?
Thank you,
Tom
start a bucket and keep collecting :)
Excellent work !!!
I look forward to more pics.
Best,
Tom
This is worth a try.

Ryan,
You have from me.
Thanks!

Tom,
I guess the term trace would better describe what I would like to do.
I would scan the photograph and trace around it. I recall that the CorelTrace system wasn't all that it was cracked up...
Tom,
I guess the term trace would better describe what I would like to do. Using the freehand tool and trying draw the shape proved a failure.
I have a very old version of Corel that will not operate on a 64 bit machine.
I have a very old Microkinetics machine that operates on HPGL so I take .cdr and convert to .hpgl.
What is the best...
What is the recommended mechanized shield for cutting .25" aluminum sheet? I tried to look up the part # on Hypertherms web site.... wow. What a challenge.
I don't cut much aluminum and had a...
I left my water table raw. I have used Plasma Quench. This dates back to 2000. No rust what so ever! I bought a 15 gallon drum and will add some every so often. Evaporation is what eats it up.

Todd,
Thanks a bunch!

Nutron,
Here are the pictures of my Mighty Drive.
Your Super Drive has a lot more guts I think.
It really excites me to know that you have deleted Superscribe.
Microkinetics advertises on...
Those are 23 frame motors. How are you driving the X-axis?
Did you find the SuperDrive used or did you buy it new?
Are you running NEMA 23 or 34 frame motors? I am running 23 motors and they are under sized especially on the X axis. On the X- axis one motor drives both sides of the gantry. Heck to be able to use...
Nutron,
I guess we are the few and the brave that are using the MicroKinetics system.
I would really appreciate learning more about your system.
The computer I am using is a dinosaur and the...
IIRC your sig/gen is/was built by Flashcut. They may be of help to you.
Thanks Neil!
Jim,
I spoke with Jason today in Tech-support and he explained the possibilities of a failed IGBT.
I have a G3-1650 machine and was hoping that you can give me the part number for this item....
Jim,
I will post more close up pictures.
Thanks,
Tom
Gary,
My eyes are failing me. The lower bar is the rack. I could not see it on my monitor at the shop. At home I am able to make it out better.
Thanks and keep the pics coming.
Tom
Did you build your gantry from 80/20 material or buy a complete gantry elsewhere?
Can you explain the X-axis a little more in detail? I can see your bearings but the don't understand the upper &...
Jim,
Here is a question for you. The material is 1/4" mild steel. I cut this using 60A consumables. Air pressure is correct.
What is causing this excessive build up? Is happens on straight as...
