    Build table only...?

    I have no problem building a table and setting that up. But where I have zero experience is the CNC part?

    Do they sell calibrated systems where you build your own table for?

    Re: Build table only...?

    I did search those exact terms already. I made the post after finding that same portable CNC set up by ESAB and another similar looking one on Alibaba. Most likely a knock off. I was very curious if the portable type works well compared to a normal table type.
    Seems like a great option for me. And MUCH cheaper than a normal table type. Anyone here have experience with these type of portable Plasma cutters?

    I actually have one of those. It was purchased for a software/hardware development project and I made a few test cuts with it. I've never run it with the onboard controller, replacing that was the goal of the development project. They do work, but obviously not as stable or robust as a full on gantry type machine.
