    Yet another cnc plasma build

    Why not...A potential customer asked me to build a table a few months back and started down the road of engineering one then turned into a business idea then another potential customer wanting one after the first fell through so....I have decided to just make one for my shop, why not...

    Here are a series of pictures of the "rough" draft of the table. More to come as the days go on...

    Thinking either doing a planetary gearbox and smaller steppers or going full servo. Undecided yet, most likely will go the servo route just to get the crisp acceleration and faster speeds, also will allow me to beef up the gantry more

    I know 100% I will have a closed loop system no matter which way I end up going.
