I am getting ready to start a cnc plasma build. I am looking for recommendations for what a good size table would be to build. I am a hobbyist and for the most part I figure I will be cutting brackets, decorations, etc. I can't see a single part needing to be bigger than 4'x4'
I figure a 4x4 would be a little small because you couldn't really cut a 4'x4' sheet on it.
A 5'x9' or 5'x10' would be good because you could drop an entire 4'x8' sheet on it and cut away. The down side of this would be the space required as well as the shear weight of the 4'x8' sheet of metal.
I think I am leaning towards a 5'x5' table that will let me cut a 4'x4' sheet of steel and still be able to keep a fair amount of garage space. I could always cut off of a 4'x8' sheet by hanging part of the sheet off the table on a stand.
Any experience and/or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
