@@TheMetalist DUDE this thing is awesome we still using disc saws here. Or notchers that do on only job, at no less than 240. Daaamn. A plasma cutter is around 150 bucks and your tool is genial you could even turn the tube yourself! And it cuts a lot of stuff I mean in the end its even less dangerous than the 350mm disc saw.

I watch A LOT of KZbin videos and come across many great projects/ideas. This ranks at the top! Not only is it a genius idea, but seems fairly simple to make. Rarely do the two go together. Now….to make your motorized chuck.

Great idea! make the patterns double ended for more angles and put a spacer on the torch tip to get a little stand off so you don't burn up tips too fast.

Great enginuity, not just the craftsmanship but video itself.

It’s cool, but how does it work on full length pipes like a roll cage? I’ve been tossing around an idea like this but using CNC for the movements and rotation. But can’t figure out a solution if it’s pre bent tube like a roll cage.

[@AMetalWorks]

Very cool idea that could be adapted for many applications there hand holding a torch even with a guide isn't good enough. Going to have to search out the build of the rotary fixture. My issue with this is the time and effort put into the build isn't worth it in most applications. I could see this as being helpful for garage production runs depending on what the parts are being used for. I'm also not a fan of plasma cut notchers in general. They don't really save much time. You can't properly weld those joints without cleaning up ALL of the dross and plasma cut edges. The traditional drill powered notcher is slower to cut but there is very little cleanup. Plus the adjustability can't be beat by anything close to affordable. Awesome video. Awesome idea. Keep being creative because even though I don't see this as being very practical I absolutely got something out of it.

[@Noman3]

Hello, what's kind of brand is your plasma cutter? And what kind of torch is it? (Distanzstück an der Spitze). I'm looking for Stahlwerk cut 50, any experience? Thank you in advance for your answer

[@petermond7594]

...and of course, great idea! 👍

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😁. My one is also a Stahlwerk, it is about 10years old. The Maschine works great for that money. "My opinion" The only issue is the nozzles on the torch, for nice Cuts you need a lot of them! But the Maschine is 10years old, i don't know nothing about the new Maschine!
