I think you just sold me my first cnc plasma cutter. Having the manual torch is nice and all but I am constantly having to ask a friend to cut me parts for sake of time. This is an affordable solution and you make is seem like the learning curve isn't that terrible. I am in....

[@ManCrafting]

I think you summed it up pretty well. If you use Inkscape or Illustrator for 2D and Sheetcam the work flow is really easy. I have a friend who uses fusion, and it’s too much of a time investment for me. I can’t spend the time it takes to get proficient. I have a more recent video showing sheetcam workflow. It’s pretty quick to pick up.

[@WorksbySolo]

Wow! Those plasma cuts are gorgeous. Never seen any that smoothly executed. The bend relief in coordination with the backup welds is an awesome way to fabricate. Very informative video as well. Nice work!

Hi. Is this a 3 feet by 4 feet? Table. If not does Langmuir make a 4’x4’ table?

[@ManCrafting]

It’s 4x3 and I’m glad it is. I believe they wanted a table that could fit 4 ft wide but still would fit in the home shop. I couldn’t go 4x4 in my current space. If I need to cut something longer I can make a registration cut and slide the material to complete the cut. I just haven’t had the need.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

[@waltrmitty]

I have a small, one car garage with a garage queen, 1999 Mercedes nothing special E320 with only 65k miles, under car cover.

[@fincadelsolpr7042]

Hi. I am a welder but I do not have a programming background when it come to CNC machines. Is this software hard to understand or difficult to create cut files? Thanks

[@ManCrafting]

I’m with you. When it comes to designing, it’s all 2 dimensional. So you can design things in half a dozen programs including InkScape. Which is free. Then you need to run that file through what’s called a CAM program. It generates the code that the machine uses to cut. That’s a little bit of a learning curve, but I use Sheetcam which makes it a little easier to do. Last is the Langmuir Pro software. Once you load the code it’s dead easy. The older software Mach III want as nice of an interface and I didn’t care for it. Also, there are 1,000’s of free files online and even on the Fireshare page on the Langmuir site. So unless you’re fabricating ideas in your head you could go a long time without needing to design anything. Shoot, there are even guys in the forums that will generate the g-code for you or draw a file if you get stuck. That side of it is my weakest strength, but I’m cutting more than I have time to cut. Sorry for the long response. I think I’ve had too much coffee. 🤣

[@fincadelsolpr7042]

ManCraftingTM Thanks for the reply. Yeah that was my only concern about purchasing a CNC machine. That’s great info I appreciate it. Makes me feel a bit more confident in making the decision to purchase a unit. Have a good one.

Why choose this plasma torch over the one Langmuir offer as part of the crossfire pro kit? Interested to hear your thoughts

[@ManCrafting]

It cuts much closer to the Hypertherm plasma cutter. The torch is the same design as the hypertherm and the consumables are about half the cost. I had the RW 45 with the OG table and it was ok, this just cuts way better. I had a friend using it before me so I saw the quality and he used his way heavier than I was.

I'm in the market for a cnc table now and wondering if, after a year +, if you have realized many limitations with this system or, if it has created enough revenue at this point to possibly regret not investing in a bit heavier duty or larger machine? I already have a Hypertherm 45 XP to add to a machine. There is so much variety and competition in the plasma cnc market that I find it very difficult to feel confident in choosing a vendor. I've read so many software horror stories and have no cnc experience to draw from but I certainly want every design possibility open to me after making the investment. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

[@ManCrafting]

For me, anything bigger in my current shop is untenable. If these smaller machines hadn’t come out, I’d still be without one. My original reason to buy it was to do on demand cutting for a product I was outsourcing. So not having to spend $700 on a sheet worth was great for me. It’s probably way more than that now. I’ve done 5x4 foot signs on 3 occasions and tons of other sign projects. It’s payed for itself over and over. I used it this week to cut half a dozen parts for my on demand stand. You can look at my TikTok or some of my shorts here. I post something every week.

I didn’t have these tools make $5 shelf brackets. I have it to make whatever I want whenever I want. I’ve wanted a plasma CNC since first seeing one in 2015 at a friends welding shop. At the time the cheapest one on the market was about $20,000 and was going to take up a space in my shop that was more room than I had. When Langmuir came out with the first version I jumped at the chance to buy it. Then they came out with the Pro. It was a huge upgrade and I didn’t hesitate to buy it. I live this machine and I know a lot of people who have it as well and are not only making things for themselves, they have created entire businesses around it. I just had a guy come to my house who is considering buying one for his business which is making accessories for slotted shelving systems. He brought two of his designs and we cut them out. Normally to have a tangible prototype he’d have to send it to the company that does his production runs on a laser. Now he’ll be able to do that on demand with no wait. As for my shitty welds, I’ve done worse. I have no training other than the few KZbin videos I’ve watched. Currently I’m in school full time to rectify that. Monday will be the beginning of my 4th week at Georgia Trade School. Personally I feel like I’m doing a lot of good and am a pretty positive person. I don’t have the inclination or time to go onto peoples videos and leave unhelpful comments. I hope that at some point you can be as fortunate.

Thanks for taking the time to give some constructive criticism. I’ll try to make my next one less horrible.
