I built a CNC Plasma Table out of Junk.

[@hassmakki]

Your channel is amazing.... I'm baffled that you only have 40K subscribers.... You're like a top tier KZbin channel I wait for to drop videos. Keep up the amazing work... Please don't quit on us 🙏🏻

[@gorak9000]

No, top tier youtubers are full of music, wasted intro and outro time, ads, and bs. This is much preferable - 100% content, 0% filler

[@RotarySMP]

Nice save with the aluminium screws plugging the holes.

[@chopper3lw]

Hey, look at you lurking around in the other machining channels ;)

[@RotarySMP]

@@chopper3lw Jeremy's is my favourite channel.

[@chopper3lw]

@@RotarySMP I like your channel as well. Im not sure if I have a favorite. There's a big spectrum between Cutting Edge Engineering and Clickspring. .

[@JulianMakes]

That was a genius fix! Bravo.

[@tonyray91]

Check out the Post Apocalyptic Inventor if you haven’t come across him, he built a similar system out of mainly scrap too.

[@Rustinox]

From junk to gem. Absolutely amazing.

[@JeremyMakesThings]

That’s how we do it!

[@neillawson4493]

This was a classic "Jeremy Makes Things" - excellent content and creativity.

[@Paul-FrancisB]

Thanks for another interesting build, I always enjoy the commentary just the right level of sarcastic humour 😁

[@joelshopefullyhelpfulvideo3010]

My favourite form of art is building complex stuff with mostly salvaged parts. It requires a special king of talent and genius. As the makers we know it takes longer but my reply to that is always like asking an artist why his work takes time. When you love doing something success is not just measured in time!

[@mehaul33]

That was one of the most satisfying videos i have watched in awhile.

[@Vandal_Savage]

Very nice, it's a bit like watching Scrap Heap Challenge but in real life and where stuff actually works, thanks for the upload 😊

[@TomYoureDoingItWrong]

You are one of my heroes and an inspiration for my own channel, 'Tom, You're Doing It Wrong.' I just need a camera...

[@TheDistur]

I love this thing. Cool way to use your skills and a bunch of mostly junk.

[@Dagrond]

I put all my computers underneath a large tray of water. Glad to see someone else do the same.

[@pjofurey6239]

I really enjoyed this one! Any vid with your cro magnon fixed steady is,for me like watching a classic starring a hero, that steady is undoubtedly the best machine tool accessory ever seen on the internests.Also of great comfort and most refreshing is the fact you have built and programmed,fettled and got working a complex machine like the plasma CNC table WITHOUT honking £1000,s of dollarios into it like EVERY other channel. Without doubt this superb creation will add to your capabilities and save you so much time in the purgatorial world of fekkery & bracketry. I hope there might still be a place for CAD , cardboard assisted design. Greets from Ireland & ATB for ‘25

[@kendingsor]

I like the parts with the sloppy machining, the crusty bits, the treadmill parts, the river junk counterweights, the saving e-waste, sharpy shenanigans, bracket making, and the bungee cords and zip ties. This was a great one!

[@JeremyMakesThings]

I like those parts too. I would have used zip ties for the whole thing if I thought it would hold up.

[@sjv6598]

You never cease to impress me😊, Jeremy. You are one smart cookie.

[@JohnForst82machine]

Jeremy your talent and abilities always amaze me. Hope you have an awesome year and thanks for the video!

[@ironhead65]

I'm still really loving all the tapping heads that you have! Really encourages me to see if I can find one or make one. Mr. Pete did a teardown video of the Procurnious (spelling?? Naming??) one seems simple enough to put together.

[@MrIanrocks]

Remember: it’s not just procuniey, it’s Procunier

[@chrislee7817]

Love your quick wit and almost British sardonic humour. And the can do approach 👍

[@gvente87]

As much as I want more frequent and more regular uploads from you/your channel, this was worth the 2 month wait. Keep doing why you do. PS I was really excited when I saw your DP600 ‘restoration’ video a while back because I had recently restored the exact same machine.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

No doubt about it Jeremy, you sure are a clever bugger. Well done. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺

[@martinsmith251]

Love how you kept consistency with M6, M10 and M8😅. You forgot to mention interchanging between metric and imperial! Love your work and commentary.

[@JeremyMakesThings]

Those metric holes appeared to be imperial spacing 🤣 But I did mix metric and imperial screws on this, and I hate myself for that.

[@maddsmish]

You really do have the best KZbin maker channel. Fantastic stuff every video.

[@pascalrhins3770]

Serious engineering and skills, sir ! What can I say, other than "jealous" 😅😅😅

[@ferrumignis]

What an amazing project, I love it! Thank you so much for making this one video so we can see everything start to finish.

[@russtuff]

This is awesome, well done.

[@MyLilMule]

This why I love this channel.

[@txd]

Dude those hexagons on the electrical enclosure looked so friggin sweet :D

[@gorak9000]

They don't hold a stick compared to those amazing septagons on the monitor mount - prime number sided shapes for the win

[@MrIanrocks]

I’m jealous, it takes me so long to make the wrong brackets right now!

[@CraigsWorkshop]

That was an epic, inspired, beautiful build. Thanks for sharing and showing what's possible! Your vids always make me want to get into the workshop and make something.

[@MrPhatNOB]

Not only was it top tier in every way as usual, but it was nearly 43 minutes!! Bliss!

[@jimsvideos7201]

Your mill is in an excellent state of tram.

[@nick1bb1]

Brilliant!! Hugely enjoyable and the perfect antidote to the throwaway society!

[@624Dudley]

Hole deletion: an interesting take on additive machining! 👍

[@gubr]

That Dell P4 still working means it's one of the few not affected by capacitor rot. I pimped one of these for my coworker, getting the fastest P4 that fit in there. They have custom PSUs (not good) and nice air flow tunnels for cooling the CPU.

[@JeremyMakesThings]

Well, it does occasionally lock up (other than being able to move the cursor)…..

[@MarkATrombley]

As a Certified Electronics Idiot it always amazes me how easy others can build things like this.

[@richmiller9844]

Excelnt machine! Definitely put a filter on the electrical cabinet. It should be NEMA4 airtight to keep metal dust out.

[@meeponinthbit3466]

"custom fabrication is just a fancy way of saying 'making brackets ' "😂😂😂

[@argee55]

This latest thing you made will help you make other things which in turn could help you make other things. Cool!

[@brendancurtain8366]

Love that you started using the machine to build it's self😂

[@enzowilson345]

Fantastic project, that's going to be enormously useful 👍

[@zvonibab]

Hat down Mr Jeremy that is something well done!

[@macdrew77]

Amazing! I'm not quite the junk collector as you are so I'm going to build JD Garages plasma cutter plans.

[@Ziraya0]

You do a lot of projects where you end up needing to clean up a rough part that's 30~40 meters longer than your mill, have you ever considered restoring/building a metal planer? It would take up your whole workshop and give you nice precise surfaces for toe clamp stepping on the mill

[@JulianMakes]

Super video. The cantilever design is great! i learnt loads thank you!

[@DrFiero]

Remember to add some fungicidal type 'stuff' to the water tray so you don't end up with a stink pit.

[@JeremyMakesThings]

Good call. I ordered some, but it didn’t come in before I was done shooting the video. The water is now a disturbing shade of green.

[@DrFiero]

@@JeremyMakesThings - 🤢🤮 😁

[@perrypark8485]

Another awesome video, thanks for posting

[@gorak9000]

Another amazing video - building a cnc plasma table is on my to-do list - somewhere after the CNC mill is fixed up and operational! I can probably use the MESA board I was going to use to CNC the small G0602 lathe before someone gave me a real CNC lathe instead!

[@Crusher9mil]

Absolutely love it! Hands down the ugliest cute little CNC Droid I've seen in awhile.

[@ThePontiacmann]

WOOW NICE WORK:

[@gutsngorrrr]

Very impressive, this is something I want to do, as I can't afford to buy one.

[@DangerousSportsForSeniors]

Absolutely a thing of beauty!

[@aresolhaug959]

Amazing!! You have done it again. Big respekt for your work!!

[@grippgoat]

The whole intro to this video is gold. 😂

[@SegoMan]

Kudos for up-cycling the metal, I did the same when I built Pele'. Lovejoy offers a urethane bushing which should help on the backlash.

[@chopper3lw]

Whoa... GREAT JOB! How long did that take you in realtime?

[@JeremyMakesThings]

Looking back at the video files, o shot the first clip in August, but I worked on it off and on for a while, and was out of the shop for 3 weeks in November.

[@chopper3lw]

@@JeremyMakesThings That's some crazy productivity. And, I was amazed at your backlash ( not to mention x-y precision )

[@alfredomorles-miralles684]

Great job!

[@minskmade]

i built a 4x4 cnc plasma cutter a few years ago, i made mine from extrusion./cheap amazon linear rails. it has a hypermaxx xp45 i use it all the time to make the wrong brackets. i have a gecko controller with a smoothstepper and a thc on mine...invest into sheet cam...its a game changer///love all your builds...happy new beers.

[@TheRecreationalMachinist]

Love it 👍

[@lucasandri5462]

Your projects are always very interestring, inspiring and never disappoint, they're the perfect example of being able to repurpose what can be considered as junk or at least what 99% of people would call it. The x axis has a lot of overhang, does it affect considerably the z height when the torch is fully extended? Of course if you plan to put a sensor to compensate for that it's not a proble.

[@gnillut]

Awesome build!

[@jeffnagel918]

I really enjoyed that. Thanks Jeremy! happy newyear to ya!

[@johngassmann9581]

I'd say you have a plethora of lathe lead screws. Inheritance Machining would be jealous.

[@chadstrand7868]

great work thanks for the video

[@sherylryan7038]

You never disappoint awesome my favourite youtu.ber from Australia ❤

[@badwelds4743]

It was a good thing you pulled the electronics off before welding. I didn't and fried my setup😅 not a good day lol.

[@badwelds4743]

And made the second mistake of not putting a fuse on the control board. Would saved it i think.

[@253fabrication]

Use borax in your water table. Trust me it's a night and day difference with rust, especially if you cut cold rolled and let the drop sit on the table. Awesome video🤘

[@MichaelisanEngineer]

Despite the thumbnail I thought there was a ToT Subscribe joke coming at 42:17 :D Nice work as always Jeremy, machine shops really are magical places that turn anything into anything else (usually chips!)

[@grntitan1]

Nice!! And it only took you 42:43 to make all that. 😉

[@craftzars]

and if you dont talk you can probably make close to 30min 😂

[@muddlersworkshop]

Nice Job.

[@RamiJames]

Oh thank god, id thought you had stopped uploading videos forever

[@JeremyMakesThings]

Nope, just decided to do a project that took (looks at calendar)….5 months….

[@Paulman50]

Nice, well done. Might give me some insensitive to finish the one I started 3 years ago.

[@keithviolette5870]

Hey Jeremy, I'm also in NH, with a fair amount of "extra stuff", which includes several ball screws. Let me know if you want some to upgrade this machine.

[@TalRohan]

I don't think people realise that I beams etc arent built to be flat, theyre almost always built under tension so what appear to be flat faces are usually curved one way or another... buying a stepper motor is a necessary evil cause even you Mr Jeremy, can't make one from junk....well I am saying not I presume not and I'm not trying to lay down a challenge ...unless you fancy the challenge of making one out of a cast iron traffic cone and a ring main 🤨. Drilling a piece of stock for making bolts shorter is not something I had thought of so thanks for sharing that little gem And future proofing is always good but thats a fantastic holder for the plasma cutter This is like rocket science to me to be honest but fascinating to watch

[@twotone3070]

Loved it.

[@natel7639]

Hexagons, have you been watching grind hard?? Great video

[@jamesriordan3494]

[@kitmaira]

[@SuperHaptics]

I have 4 monitors and no mounts. I think i need to make a cnc plasma thing ....

[@Diesel_engines]

Most people are crashing with the controller because of noise from the plasma(pilot arc) are all your cable shielded or did you have no problem at all

[@JeremyMakesThings]

I’m using a blowback start plasma cutter, rather than a high frequency start, so it’s a lot friendly to the electronics.

[@FrancisoDoncona]

How come no matter how well I make a rotary cutter and try the best chinesium saw blade I have never had a cutter cut evenly. My circular saws, even the cheapest one always seem to be more accurate than my " machinist saw blades ". Yes most are for wood but even my two steel saws give that even sound. Are there meant to be off center?

[@JeremyMakesThings]

They always have some runout in them, I’m not sure why. Most of the ones I’ve use have been vintage American name brand ones, and they all do it, so I guess it’s intentional?

[@cooperised]

​@@JeremyMakesThingsI don't think it's intentional, I think it's just much more obvious than with an endmill because of the slow spindle speed. It's also much more obvious in metal than in wood because of the slow feed rate. The maximum chip load per tooth is maybe in the 3-5thou range, so runout of even just a couple of thou will be easily audible.

[@ianemptymindtank]

That is wild

[@keespeerdeman]

awesome

[@chrislee7817]

Could you fit a small grinder on the torch head and run it over the grate to flaten it ?

[@JeremyMakesThings]

I thought about that, but I don’t think it’s rigid enough to work well.

[@dinucacid]

“Added three M8 to keep it consistent” 👍🏻😂😂😂

[@nickhenscheid369]

I deeply appreciate your dedication to not buying your way through projects. But, just out of curiosity, what was your total $ into the Scrapbot™?

[@JeremyMakesThings]

Depending on how you account for things like buying of 5 pack of fan screens but only using one, and then using left overs from the 5 packs of other thing from other projects…..I’d say around $900 including the plasma cutter. That also includes a ball-park estimate on the total from a dozen or more trips to the hardware store for more cap head screws.

[@aaronbuildsa]

"Another CNC table build", I thought.. figured it would be another variation of gantry and timing belts; but, I like to watch Jeremy Make Things (because I'm too lazy to be Aaron Makes Things) and I was not disappointed. Not a timing belt in site.. of course we don't all have 4/5ths of a lathe lying around to cannibalise 😂

[@daleolson3506]

[@mr.picklesworth]

If 3 bolt doesn't hold that stepper motor 4 probably wouldn't either.

[@makermafia9920]

why cant the grate sit on adjustable cams adjust till perfect

[@WoLpH]

Not sure how much electricity costs where you live, but replacing that pentium 4 with something more power efficient would certainly pay for itself within a few months over here ;) You can oftentimes get old laptops with broken displays for free. Those use very little power and take up little space, perfect for projects like these.

[@DrFiero]

Generic comment for algorithm! But seriously, awesome build. Seeing how well it did on both hexagons and heptagons I would call it a success. You didn't work at Ford on the heavy half ton for the 04 model year by any chance?
