This guy is ABSOLUTELY right. Guys, just go with the Ford mount on the engine side. I've done this job with aftermarket mounts, and they're nowhere near as good. The Ford one I believe is hydraulic and most (all?) others are solid rubber. Did the Ford one on sister's Focus and the difference was night and day, even though the aftermarket one I removed wasn't old and still looked in good condition. And the inserts that you have to bend the bracket into the aluminum casting? I just threw a brand new one I had in the basement in the trash. You can get the factory ones for much cheaper than the dealer, but still from the dealer. Search OEM Pro Parts or something like that. Ford has a deal with online companies. You get the part much cheaper online, and pick it up at a local dealer or you can have it shipped. e.g. I got the CAD $130-150 mount from the dealer for CAD $95 + tax picked up. They wouldn't give me the same deal if I bought it straight from the dealer. Crazy, but whatever.

What are the specs for the solid state relay you used to turn on the torch?
@DustinCorbin22 күн бұрын
@@stephenlinzel8846 The one I have is a dc/dc solid state relay, I think input side is 3 to 32 volts DC and the switched side is up to 300 volts DC. In my case the switched side is just connecting two wires together so it's rating doesn't really matter much.

I own a Homak 2 drawer toolbox, probably made in the same factory as the Craftsman . The upper drawer on the left would extend out farther than on the right. I wanted the drawer to stop uniformly, at the same distance. I watched the beginning of your video and I found the small tabs. I merely finagled around with them a little and I got the drawer to pull out the same on both sides! Thanks for the insight.

The manual for my 2022 Bolt says to swap sides when you bring the back tires forward and to bring the front tires straight back but I always just swapped my tires front to back and vise versa. Good your taking good care of your battery.
@DustinCorbinАй бұрын
Before I had the Quickjacks, I would usually do that since it's a lot easier to just jack up one side of the car and swap the two tires on that side. My OEM tires didn't even last 30k miles with my right rear tire seeming to wear faster than the rest (probably alignment) so being able to swap all 4 tires into that position over time extended the life of the tires a bit. Thanks for watching!

Nice job. Love a good repurposed machine video. The reason you only need one M03 S1200 command is because Gcode was written as a Modal language. Modal is just a fancy way of saying that whatever parameters that the Gcode sees first will keep & use those parameters until changed or canceled by the program/user. So in your example, you have turned on the switch with the M03 S1200. To turn the switch off, you would just need to put in the command M03 S0. Hope that helps further your understanding of Gcode. Having the ability to design & manufacturer pretty much ANYTHING I can think of in my studio is fantastically satisfying.
@DustinCorbinАй бұрын
@@blazegbs nice! I had no idea but I appreciate the information! I have been using Gcode for years, but I haven't really taken a deeper dive into HOW it works. This project was the first one in a few years where I was heavily using Gcode and I had to refresh myself a lot on it. Thanks for the info!

Great use of a deprecated product. From all the times I had to rebuild my FT-5 I wanted to do a DIY a CNC plasma, but I decided to just buy a commercial STV SparX 4800 table instead. Glad I did for a number of reasons, but building your own has its advantages - cost. Though you will quickly find that torch height control is necessary and other aspects of the control firmware need to be tweaked to make clean cuts, start to finish. Ball screws help some for the ringing people often see with belt driven systems, but there are some unique aspects of how a plasma torch works that need to be considered in the firmware for maximum cut performance. Even the affordable MyPlasm controller falls short in some aspects, but it's a solid pro-sumer grade controller for the cost. Good to see you got your controller to work... never underestimate the power of hacking the g code.

For sure! I know one day I will build something from scratch, or at least integrate THC into this one. I didn't attempt this build to make a highly reliable machine with aerospace precision or high repeatability, but considering what it can do, what I will use it for and the low amount of commitment (money mainly) to make it work, I'm pretty happy with it. Plus, it was super fun tackling each component and making them work for "unintended" use cases. It was nearly a month of working every day after work, designing, testing, guessing, researching, etc, and every completion led to the start of a new challenge. I loved every minute of it. Thanks for watching and the comment!

Nice work! I still just free hand plasma cut, but I built a rotating table to easily cut circles/pipe... Can still freehand a lot if you have nice jigs! Using the CNC to make jigs so you can cut more out by hand faster, could be cool too, since you don't want to put too much usage on the CNC if you don't have to
