Ok so I'm looking into building a 4' x 4' CNC plasma/router. I've built many cnc machines over the years; all of which I use almost weekly.
My CNC router is about 20" x 36" cutting area and I figured I'd want something bigger. Now I've always wanted to build a CNC plasma and thought I'd combine the two.
So my questions is....wait for it...
I want good clean cuts. I already have an Everlast Plasma Cut-D 50 plasma cutter. The torch is crap. So if I use a good aftermarket machine torch for the CNC plasma will the Everlast be of use? Meaning if I use a good torch does the power source matter? I'm willing to buy a Hypertherm or a Miller if the cuts will be markedly better.
Waiting patiently for your opinions....
