I like the additional support to hold up the arm. I think I will add that as well but need some way for it to fold out of the way as I add all the material to be cut from that end.

[@CrisHarrison]

You can stop the sagging by adding a post on bering end then run run a cable to the other end near the torch. Use a turn buckle to tighten the cabe.

[@williamdalzell4085]

well done loved it

[@danialhowe9814]

could you explain ( or better yet demonstrate ) what you did to use BLUETOOTH? i love that idea!

[@rgrg3683]

awesome work💯👍

[@bobbyz7736]

That was a great video. Thanks for making it and also for sharing your files to print out the parts that you customized for the build. Im just about finished collecting all the materials. Im having trouble finding the 2-1/2 .120 square tube . Im in Lake Havasu City, Az and there is limited material availability without buying full sticks of steel.

[@ziggycoussement]

Id recommend looking for a local fab shop and ask them if they would be willing to sell you some if they have it. At my shop, we had that happen before and we were more than willing to sell them the exact length they needed. It probably won't be that expensive even compared to a local steel supplier

[@duncanmarks1590]

HI, well presented video with useful added modification list. bye

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Thanks

[@ttcnc3755]

You mentioned a water pan you bought on amazon for like $139 fo you have a link to it

[@frederickwilliams9892]

I loved this project. I'm going to build me one. Can you make them longer?

[@user-me7ef2ug4u]

❤ขอบคุณสิ่งที่น่ารู้อาจารย์

[@Blou55]

Cool, i have the same issue like you had. I was looking for a solution for the railing and you it is exactly what i will do. Could you, if you want, make a comment including the stl file for the bearing holder, so i will not have to design it. Thanks, you make my day 😅

[@catfish1969]

I enjoyed the video, impressive work! Would anyone happen to know what Ender 3D printer he is using?

[@jeffhayes_Gent_Be]

hi, I love my Yes Welder combo machine and I would like to use its plasma cutting option to make this CNC cutter .. you are using the CUT-65DS .. will the CT2050 work in this application?

[@thestickflicker]

on you video you mention that you got the water tub on amazon, can you give a link to which one you got?

[@steelworkers78]

May you give me the basic program to build machine like that brother?

[@milesmccoo]

you're using the ct2050 on the table but you also have a CUT-65DS. Does this mean the CUT-65DS is no suitable, at least for thinner and lower duty cycle cuts? CUT-65DS is a lot cheaper.

[@richardswartz4273]

I bought the high frequency non pilot arc one for building this table around 5 months ago. I think I screwed up there. I notice now there is a non high frequency option. I can get it all to work until the plasma arcs and then it shuts everything down!

[@harbaughsworkshop]

With the plasma cutter, make sure it is Non-High frequency or “blowback” and make sure it is CNC compatible or can actually be converted to work with a CNC. HF will mess with your electronics

[@konstantinmakarevic6125]

Hi, how does your y axis work? I have some kind of resonance, I can’t understand what the problem is.

[@brpwmachinestools8594]

good job, I'm looking for some inspiration. as I first spot this on JD’s Garage chanel, I was wondering why he did not make second gantry on the oposite side. it is not good to leave the end unsupported, just floating. and my 1st question is. is this diy copy of Langmuir's Crossfire or vice versa?

[@denslod2930]

Crossfire doesn’t make them, they buy them from a company in China, Hawui or something like that. The sag is not the aluminum, check the weight per foot. It’s Your printed parts and adjustments. Last, when your not using the cutter, brace the end. Plastic can sag.

[@agguilarmetalwork4494]

Hi is the z axis touch off part of the design ?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

Yes it comes with the plans

[@agguilarmetalwork4494]

Hi than si for the great video, one question in the plans in the electronics includes the THC ?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

They have not released the THC yet. I do know they are working on it now and trying to perfect it before releasing it to their subscribers. I do not know if this will be part of the original plans or not. Only they can answer that. I have every plan on updating this machine once they release it. Keep an eye out on my channel. I will do an update when it's released

How much did you end up spending?

[@codyolsen2326]

What do you use for software for designing stuff to cut out ?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

I use inkscape and fusion 360

[@zacharytuttle5618]

Inkscape for art, any 2d cad of your choice for dimensional stuff. I use solidedge 2d

[@harbaughsworkshop]

@zacharytuttle5618 I have been using fusion360, I have never used solid edge 2d. I will check it out. Thanks.

[@stevestadinko6045]

What is the thickest steel this will cut?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

The dimensions are 30"x 28". The thickness of the material depends on your plasma cutter. The YesWelder CT2050 clean cut over an inch thick

Hi bro veza milje ga

[@hossfarran6327]

Would you be interested to build one and sell it to me? Not sure where you are located I'm in texas. Maybe assemble all of the top parts. And I can assemble build the table foot frames are those would be the heaviest to ship

[@scottydntno]

Let me show you how I build this, and provide all the links EXCEPT the links to the plans.

[@XploreRangerNZL]

He literally gave you the name of the channel who made the plans how much easier do you want it

[@conradnear4068]

Oh you poor man. Can I get you a tissue? The first 30 seconds said were to get the plans.
