    Thank you!
  4. Re: Sheetcam Plsma. Post prosser requires Diameter.

    You should enter the kerf width as the diameter. In other words, the plasma flame itself has a diameter, and you can figure out it's size by measuring the width of a straight cut.

    Re: indexing

    A moving table will require more floor space than a gantry. It's easy to realign the sheet to make cuts that are larger than your machine. I would not bother with a moving table.

    Re: CNC plasma table gantry parts

    Re: CNC plasma table gantry parts

    I understand that rusty bearings are a problem, my point was more about the screw, if a sealed ball bearing is failing, how could a ball nut fare any better?

    how much more powerful is the pneumatic engraver compared to a plain ol' electric engraver?

    maybe a dremel with a small carbide burr, you will have a go pretty slow but it would work.
