    CNC plasma table, for round tube cutting

    Hello All!

    It's my first post here, so be gentle

    I've been searching for a few days now to find info about machines that have been built by you, the people of CNC zone.

    I didint exactly find any builds yet, so here is my proposition - since it's going to be a hobby build for my garage bike shop, I will share all my drawings and ideas with you.

    So anyways, i'm starting a build to make a CNC plasma table, but only with a rotary axis, to cut round tubes.

    I'm quite a novice when it comes to CNC electronics, so can anybody tell me if there are any modules made precisely for this kind of machine or can they be cross-used?
    Are there CAM programs that support rotary cutting?

    I'll add my initial ideas into the thread once i have finished them(no more than 2 days, promise).

    Thanks for your attention.

    Cheers
    T
