Hello all,
I am at a conceptual stage of a CNC Plasma build. The main application will be automotive flanges and small brackets - so i am planning to make something relatively small compared to typical designs - 1x1m.
A suggestion was that the quality of the cuts might be better if the torch was stationary whilst the workpiece moved underneath.
I can only find examples of moving gantry type machines.I am thinking about building a jig to test the theory - but obviously don't want to reinvent the wheel.
Any thoughts? Given that my biggest part I will want to make might be 300mm x 500mm I could probably afford the lack of economy in building a moving workpiece (what is the correct terminology for this?) CNC.
