Hello everyone, Just like to say Hi.I am knew here and found this forum while researching Plasma Table builds. I am pressure welder by trade and have just started piecing some things together. I have no idea where to start, if someone would be kind enough to direct me to a book about plasma table design I would be grateful.
So far I have purchased a few items from an auction as well as from kijiji (a classifieds ad site):
-> A used hypertherm 1000 G3 with a machine torch.
-> A two stage Igersoll Rand pump model 2475 to run the air compressor I will build.
I haven't had time to clean these items yet, so they are a little dirty
I have no idea where to start , the end result I want to build should handle a 5 x 10 sheet of steel.
Steppers ?? Servo ?? Closed ?? Open ... I have no idea?? I don't understand what the ratings mean on the Nema motors...what size??
The list goes on..
rail system?? rack and pinion ?? 8020 or something else????
Thanks for any direction
Gypsy
