that looks like a very heavy duty table

[mrbaseball]

I'm interested in the plans as well It looks like a good winter project that I can work on little by little. If you get a chance you can e-mail them to me at: [email protected]

Thanks

A well thought out and executed machine. Good job. Must be satisfying seeing it at work.

I'd like to see the plans too if I can jump on your generosity. A suggestion; unless you have reason not to you can just zip them up into a file and post them as an attachment here. Saves you bandwidth and mailing them to the world and his friend..

thanks..

Just to let everyone know, I am real close to having the plans for the table finished, except for the control layout. they will be posted here hopifully tomorrow. If I have sent you an email with the plans please burn them. I have corrected a lot of mistakes and updated the plans with the revisions that needed to be made from the original plans.
I tried to email everyone that emailed me but i know i missed some and i am sorry. The plans are so close to being finished now that i won't email out any more until they are finished.
HAPPY CUTTING

I moved the plans to different thread "Free PLASMA TABLE PLANS". I have started changing the controls over to Gecko drives and wanted to know if there is any interest in the plans for the cabinet and wiring.
If anyone is interested in the plans but can't print them, contact me. Any feedback would be helpful.
thanks

When you get the plans done I would be interested in them. Thanks for the files today. When I get a chance I will check them out and see if I can build one of these. I have a machining center now so I can make all my own parts.

I'm really interested in the wiring. I think i can get the fabrication, and mechanical with less of a problem. Any help you could provide with the wiring would help alot. Thanks for all the time that you've put into this.

I am in the process of setting it up with gecko drives and as soon as the change over is complete a wiring layout will be posted. hopifully it can be set up with a wiring harness for "painless wiring".
Don't worry about getting thru the wiring , if this works out right, it will be step by step.
any help you need I will be glad to give and if i don't know some one in this forum does.
Any input about the plans would be helpiful
thanks

Mike, Thanks for sharing your pictures. I find them inspirational. I see from the one shots that you have a heat treating department off to the side. I'll try to come up the learing curve a bit more before I seek plans. Thanks, Dugg

Hi,
Err....just noticed these were other pages to this thread.

Anyway, nice thread.

[mlaws1172]

Oracle 9
did you find the plans? Just finished the design on the cabinet now I can finish the wiring drawings.
mike

[Oracle_9]

Hi,

Yes, found them in the "free plasma table plans" thread you have indicated. I didnt see there were other pages here. It looks like a good machine. Thanks.

Although, I am having trouble figuring out how the x-axis is set. I see the sideview of it in "X-axis mount" section. But trying to find the if this is on the left/right of the table or in the center? Maybe a top down view. Anyway, I am an amateur when it comes to looking at plans. I just need to spend a bit more time examining it.

That A9cad is a neat software.
