A GIRL builds CNC plasma cutting machine. DIY. Part 2. Lucia's Workshop.

So nice to see someone wiring neat and clean. And even Nik Blackhurst would be proud of your bracketry work

[@sorankarim5190]

Well-done. A real, talented, loved Lady. Keep going

never ever seen such a well groomed video from workshop... great work..

[@luciasworkshop]

Thank you :)

[@billocampo1365]

This is the first time i've seen your videos, and i'm so impressed,

[@jeremystedman2483]

First video I have seen from you. You had me at measuring diagonols, was gonna ask how the xy/top to bottom/ z axis was, after seeing the table move, you nailed it. Great to see videos from true fabricators. I'll definitely continue watching.

[@attikyahia9623]

Every girl in my country should watch this😍 شوفو النساء نتاع الصح واش يخدمو

[@martinbrund]

Very impressive work, and looking like a model while doing it, is just the cherry on the top :D

[@brianmegagorgeous]

I've been watching you design construct and engineer various machines and I'm very impressed by what I see you are a very clever and competent engineer you have the capacity to go far with all your talents in mechanical and electrical/electronic engineering and last but not least the choice of colours of the final products which is not only practical but pleasing to the eye, I congratulate you in achieving a high standard of engineering in the products you engineer WELL DONE

I proposed on the last vid, but knew there was no way the men in your area wouldn't notice what a catch you are. Congratulations and I'm still going to enjoy your DIY mentality with machines and heavy equipment. Lucky Hubby.... I mean: Blessed.

[@kenh8979]

A very well done video, and GREAT work on the grinder. It's good to see ladies working in the shop and building things. You set a good example for young girls growing up. It's "not" just a "man's world" any longer.

[@Mach1CobraJet428]

nice work and nice presentation. All of your hard work is appreciated. I plan to watch all of your builds.

[@dwightarmstrong2672]

Your Grand papa raised a talented girl. Nice job on the table by the way. Can't wait to see the finished product. I noticed that in the video you had cut some thin aluminum sheet metal with a angle grinder and cut off wheel, ( we in America call them a death wheel ha ha). The next time you find the need to cut some aluminum try using some bee's wax on the cutting wheel, it will help cut the metal with ease. Look forward to more videos.

[@luciasworkshop]

Thank you! If you meant cnc plasma cutter as the finished product, then it's ready and shown in my later videos.

Very impressive cutting course. Seeing the cutout fall from the sheet, it is accurate. Thank you for sharing. I subscribed your channel earlier this week because your work is like I wished to be for the past half a century. I got a plasma cutter which is a magnificent leap forward in my perspective. Thank you for your inspiration.

Thank you

[@dannystanzl5554]

Very impressed! Great fabricator.

[@regkeown8914]

I've never seen videos so well presented . your no nonsense problem solving is wonderful. thinking this table could be stood vertically on a wall with the longitudinal travel parallel to the floor to limit the gravity on the motor and drive and then a ball screw for the cross feed ( which would then be vertical ). this could also be on wheels and just stow against a wall and thus be portable throughout your shop. P.S. I am sooo subscribed because I like the way your mind works on a problem.

Wow... This is what I call "influencer". People who really know what they are doing, doing it with passion and doing something which makes sense. Not like 90% of other wannabe "influencers", presenting their stupid ideas and thoughts without any need for skills or education. I wish my projects could be that clean and smooth than yours :) Well done, big respect for what you are doing and please please keep going on... It makes you fun indeed, it's obvious. Big respect and hat off, Lucia...

[@filippomassara930]

As a kinda pro, I really suggest u using a water tray. I'm used to work with thousands of euro of plasma cutting machines (like 12x4 meters one) and water tray is the best. If put the sheet beraly underwater u keep donw close to 100% of the fumes and cutting thin stuff like from 1.5 to 3 mm u decrease the warp in the piece.

[@luciasworkshop]

Thank you for the advice ;0)

Don't submerge your aluminum parts though it can create a hydrogen gas bubble under the plate and explode. (Not a good day)

[@x_ph1l]

The machine coming out nicely! To clean dross from the parts you might want to use twisted wire cup angle grinder attachment - gets rid of the dross like a charm. The only thing is to somehow don't let the small parts to slide on a table. In the simplest case this can be done with wooden table top and some wood screw heads sticking a couple of mm from the surface. This stops small parts from "escaping" when cleaning the dross. Also it's a good idea to have some sort of small, like 1cm, "lip" (barrier) at the edge of the table in front of you, in case some of the parts actually fly towards you.

[@luciasworkshop]

Thank you for the advice😉😊👍

[@gavin6538]

An old magnetic vice is great for holding parts for grinding. Safe for your fingers and time efficient. Available cheaply as well.

[@thinusdiedericks3240]

Your Beltgrinder build would have been a walk in the park to cut the body if the CNC machine was up and running back then. :-) Love watching the builds.

Sigh, Ya gotta love a lady with awesome shop skills! And yes I mean shop... When I started building stuff like this the majority of the female population had no idea what a welder or lathe was let alone have the skills to use them.

Can i add something ? try adding a little tallow or engine oil to the cut off grinding wheels when cutting Ali , as it helps clean the wheel of ali powder, stops chatter, and stops the ali dust blowing back in the face of the user, over time can cause health issues , regards PJB

[@gordonagent7037]

Hi, I’m a new subscriber and I have watched a few of your videos now but was looking forward to this build. I have to ask, do you work from a plan or do you make it up as you go? How do you know what electronic motors, boards etc that you will need? Do you get any technical support regarding the electrical side as I can build almost anything but the electrical side always challenges me? I bet your grandad is so happy to see you utilising his shed. I can remember my Grandma used to tell us how she used to do machining in Britain during WW2 on Lancaster bombers and she was very proud of her new learned skills, “ never underestimate the abilities of a woman” she would say and you are living proof, it’s a huge step from bank work to fabrication, especially at the standards you set. Well done from Qld, Australia

[@luciasworkshop]

Thank you very much! I can't keep the whole picture in my mind, because there's too much information, so I found a prototype first, viewed it inside out, then discussed what I want with a manager in a company supplier of the parts for CNC, he helped me to choose suitable parts. Mostly I was measuring and designing on the spot. Electrics is challenging for me too, but several my subscribers were helping me to figure out how to do it.

[@trevorjenkins1976]

Loving your build, awesome. Are you going to fit wheel's? Could you let me know the thickness of the aluminium on your gantry support end plates. Nice finish on the cutting. Something to be proud of.

It's a fine project seen here. Basically most building such themselves make their own plans, checking pictures and videos of similar machines. Or if there are some plans out there, they change the measurements to suit their own needs
