    Re: LOOKING FOR LASER[emoji848]

    Not sure what price range you’re in but you can get a 50-80watt desktop fiber laser off eBay for around $5k-$8k. I also have a contact in China who has his own brand and sells/supports these. He is...

    Re: metal slat material for water table?

    There are recipes online to make your own. I typically buy from the company who made my table. $150 for a 5gallon jug. The reason I justify the cost is that their recipe doesn't have nitrite in it,...

    What is "soft pierce" and what does it actually do? I can tweak all of the settings in my control software, I have a ton of options with wincnc and shopsabre.

    Yeah the 4x4 which I own is 1600 lbs, it doesn't wiggle at all when cutting at high ipms or loading heavy plate. Call Brandon for a quote, he's great to work with 1 (800) 493-6021

    I bought the shopsabre sidekick and am really happy with it. They have options for everything you described and are close to that price range. I run my table with a Hypertherm pm85 and have...

    Re: can plasma do this file ?

    Yes, a cnc plasma table should be able to cut this file. A little hint, if you are in a gmail browser you can view DXF files in their "drive" application. 285712

    Great thank you Ken. That makes a lot more sense. I'm not a cad designer but I know people (my retired father) :). I'm hoping I can get the help needed through the learning curve but I'm also open to...
  14. Re: ShopSabre and EnRoute (software) or TorchMate or DynaTorch or BurnTables?

    Thanks Ken. It means a lot to me to hear happy customers of their tools. I wouldn't base my decision solely on the fact that they don't have a user forum. I actually think it might be because one is...
  15. ShopSabre and EnRoute (software) or TorchMate or DynaTorch or BurnTables?

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a 4x4 CNC plasma cutting table and don't really have any intention of using the wood router (in the near future). I know ShopSabre is built tougher (motors have more horse...
