Make it Extreme's plasma cutter notcher

[@MakeitExtreme]

I hope you enjoy this video! :) Tell us your thoughts!

[@Zilli_341]

Make it Extreme cool!!

[@solucoesemengenharia]

Make it Extreme The best channel on KZbin... please... make a CNC plasma cutting next....

[@ericchevalier74]

You need something to brand your machines, better than stickers, like an engraver. I'm sure you can come up with a simple Extreme solution.

[@laserfalcon]

Make it Extreme I need a water jet

[@doorguner01]

how long have you had your cut50 plasma cutter?

[@chrisellingson123]

Very awesome as always! Two suggestions: Use a controller to automatically alternate the rotation direction for each cut to uncoil your plasma cutter lines. Suspend a longer section of the lead leaving the pulley as to allow the torsion to be distributed over a longer straight line.

[@CARLOricci-n8g]

Great build and nice workmanship with nothing fancy! Also love that you’re not spending half the video banging your gums and trying to sell things. Much appreciated bro. Subscribed

[@erikjgreen]

Just watched this for the first time now... very good attention to detail in your builds, and great use of recycled items/parts. Most impressive is your purely mechanical approach to solving the problem. I think many other makers would not have attempted such a solution, or maybe would have "cheated" using CNC motors or purchased parts specific to the purpose. You even make sure the end result looks as nice as possible and number your builds. Very well done!

[@giwrgosblasiadis3092]

the wire of the plasma cutter, wouldnt it be destroyed after a while? because of the rotation?

[@darronjknight]

Giwrgos Blasiadis cut one way, then the other.

[@asasial1977]

there are no wires in a plasma cutter except the trigger which with this setup the trigger is not on the head.

[@razershark4341]

asasial1977 the air line and the cable that carries the power for cutting

[@Palo-jm7xc]

I'm sure the people who made this are intelligent enough to have thought about the wire.

[@And1roidHD]

no because the wire is running through the middle of the spinnin thing so it dont Twists

[@remige2006]

If someone is inclined to fabricate equipments, devices and machines, your channel is the guide line....Bravo!

[@tomanycooks]

you must have the most capable workshop. I've watched you build some amazing things. keep it up

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

You guys are on a roll ... the last 3 builds have been OUTSTANDING ... and the editing & camera work on this one, was way COOL.

[@burnerjack01]

Brilliant! The only way I could imagine improving on it would be to change the cam follower action to stepper motor control (yeah, a whole lot more involved, true.) For the increased complication you'd get a cutter that can give perfect notches based on inputting pipe diameter as well as the ability to make ANY notch profile you want. But yeah, way more involved, but way more versatile too. All that being said, I would not take ANYTHING away from this design. Brilliant and bulletproof.

[@mechanicircus]

I believe you are the most complete builder in KZbin.

[@shawncrocker7037]

Love this simple design. I just couldn't take my eyes off that twisting plasma cable. Why did you keep cutting over and over in the same direction? Wouldn't the machine cut the other direction too?

[@LostBoyDieselPig]

Shawn Crocker clearly you didn’t watch all of the video. It cuts both ways

[@asdf35750]

@@LostBoyDieselPig Wouldn't be hard to add a couple of limit switches so that it alternates between cutting directions.

[@i.sirius6204]

Just discovered your content last night. Make It Extreme is one of my newest favorite channels on KZbin! I love the way you make all of your creations look so much like commercial factory produced products. Very imaginative and ingenious!

[@NathanNostaw]

Very well designed machine. A lot of work, but what a time saver for pipe and tube fabrication. I missed how you compensate the oval cutting path when the tube is rotated at an angle. Are you just dragging the tip and allowing the arms to flex?

[@guillaumedemonet339]

I wondered how they did that too :). Even caught myself imagining some Arduino controlled cutter head with simple ultrasound sensor and some Extreme motorized translation system :D Thinking more simply, leaving the head free with a soft magnet to keep it in contact to the pipe seems sufficient.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

AKA Nathan An Arduino controlled one with angle and diameter adjustments would be amazing!

[@burnerjack01]

Better yet: rotate the pipe while the cutter moves back and forth driven by an arduino controlled steeper motor drive. "Done". (mic drop)

[@siggyincr7447]

I'm pretty sure he kept the axis parallel for this reason. I'm guessing he didn't think that part through before he built the angular adjustment and only later did he realize that it won't work with that setup.

[@justinmorris7187]

this easily the best channel on KZbin. You guys come up with the most entertaining builds around.

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you so much for the kind words! :)

[@hacksmith]

That is fantastic!!! Brilliant channel guys!

[@doorguner01]

the Hacksmith This guy is awsome!

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you! :)

[@cheungsamson2381]

you are really the extreme!good job! every work like a piece of arts,indeed.

[@xtianor]

this type of things make this channel so awesome

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you!

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

If you added a rod to the larger pulley that would swing past the on/off switch and clicked it off as it finished its 360* rotation would you eliminate the need to babysit all your cuts?

[@atVVV1]

set it and forget it

[@doorguner01]

electrician,engineer,welder,machinist,carpenter mechanic Etc! one smart cookie you will always have a job! and nice job on all these fantastic project's!

[@Davefranzin]

We are a group of Italian mechanics and toolmakers have worked together for 30 years ... we've built so many things, even useless ( like a tesla machine ...) we understand you well .... at the lunch break we look your fantastic video. greetings from Italy ...

[@ikepatrick9154]

Very creative and resourceful!

[@willicat441]

GOD! If only other videos were edited and sped up as well as this one....Kudos to both the engineering and the videography! Thanks for the ingenuity..

[@waslijn1]

How long do your projects usually take from design to finish?

[@hellohun7331]

You are Avery practical fabricator. Like the blacksmiths , and gun smooths of yesteryear. Most people have no idea how things are made , let alone how the machines that made them are made.

[@Perry-ck1hv]

the design has a flaw that allows too much cable twist better than the workpiece moves rather than the cutter

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Perry Daniels You just need to keep an eye on it.

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

work piece moving would eliminate cable twist BUT would present an entire new set of issues, like what if you're cutting 20' 24' or 40' pieces of iron. Your machine just got a lot larger. Id guess they went this route because the cable twist is easier to manage.

[@experiencingtechnicaldiffi5184]

Better to have to watch the cable twist than trying to rotate a 10 meter length of pipe with a bend in it.

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

exactly

[@TravizSnodgrass]

its not that big of a piece of equipment to do it the other way. I have a rotating stand with a long cable that hooks to the motor. And roller stand to support the other end. and when Im done they both get moved back out of the way.

[@EnimaAicDz]

you are one of best genius i follow in youtube . respect from algeria

[@marco.ruggiero.]

for all those of you wondering about the cable turn, as you can see he did 1 cicle clockwise and the next one counterclockwise, so there is pratically zero risk of damaging the cable!

[@asasial1977]

there is no cable in a plasma cutter, only a rubber hose

[@tsmartin]

Really? Explain to us how that works.

[@littlestworkshop]

asasial1977 Of course there is cable, the plasma is electrically generated at the tip. Source: I own a plasma cutter.

[@patw52pb1]

+asasial1977 Sorry, but you are misinformed and incorrect. Please stop repeating incorrect info. Inside the outer sheath there is a gas tube (air), a power conductor plus a multiconductor control and sense cable. High current and some high end units also have a pair of cooling tubes.

[@benjaminwanglund4959]

How would that make a diffrence? A hose would also break if twisted too much.

[@JohnDoe-rx3vn]

The technology that came before CNC, very impressive. The OG machine programming

[@chriswalker4272]

I love your builds and finish, very proffessional looking. Guess you will have to be careful not to damage the supply wire and air cable due to constant twisting, but awesome build. Thank you 😁

[@robertgemski7728]

This build is F***ing amazing!........your skills are on another level. I cant get enough of this channel...

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

This is great... and I had no idea what a "notcher" was until the end 🤓👍🏼

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you!

[@davesstuff1599]

Does an excellent job machining the various detailed parts, then eyeballs the main spinning element before welding.

[@Catrik]

It's funny when you watch videos on youtube and you see something and immediately know that the comment section is gonna flood with the same question over and over again

[@rsz90182]

The guy below with the idea to rotate the pipe and keep cutter stationary is the best idea.

[@johnnyq90]

👍👍👍

[@MakeitExtreme]

:)

[@omarfarsha5886]

I need one for my powerplasma. Great job

[@crazymasina8524]

Did IQ's drop overnight on KZbin, everyone is screaming about the cable twist but the motor spins in either direction, if he does one cut one way he can then do the next in the opposite direction. Awesome video, great idea, love your approach to a problem. This seems perfect for mass production, but it can be versatile enough for small projects.

[@SekAustria]

this is my favorite channel. dam* hot projects!

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you very much! :)

[@patw999]

Guys....you dudes blow my fucking mind. Every time i watch I shake my head in amazement at what you fellas do. It's great to watch young people just go kick ass like you guys do. Don't know what country you are in but congratulations on what you do.

[@Phoenix-og1nr]

can build a Power Hammer plz @Make it Extreme

[@samsam-su3bz]

really the name deserves make it extreme you guys are really amazing for creativity and knowledge about all the works

[@21Blankenship]

Probably wouldn't have hurt to implement some mechanism to prevent the wire from getting twisted too much in one direction

[@HowToTutorialHelp]

Every time you use it you make it go the other way.

How do you adjust the plasma cutter's head when you want to cut small diameter of a tube? fantastic machine. I would love to see you to build a Chopper motorcycle frame with your toys !!!

[@wint3rsmith42]

doesnt it need a different size riser for each different diameter of tube ??

[@ericchevalier74]

You guys are making yourself a very nice shop and making money while doing it. GENUIS!

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you!

[@TheTricky38]

Not sure how someone can posses these many superhero metal working skills! Awsome!

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you!

[@KaryxofBeornve]

A little bit of relay/switching control, and it can stop or reverse direction automatically after a full rotation. Quick and easy, it should fit right in the control box, as it sits now. So cool.

[@terrorfirma2764]

Would you need to use different guides for the follower to run on for each diameter of tube you cut? or does the one pair give you a close-enough fit?

[@reforzar]

Brilliant. That thing is insane. I'm hoping this was built for some crazy monster build.

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you Brian! :)

[@littlestworkshop]

If cable fatigue is an issue clamp it so that it does not twist on axis and then form it into a large loop at the back of the machine (like a watch spring) then operate back and forth as you have done.

[@photova9016]

Very cool project, and turning super handling.

[@michaelharris1843]

How does the cutting head allow or adjust for different diameters? Also when cutting on an angle, how does it allow for the stock being off center?

[@Hemotem]

That is just friggn awesome!!! Now to find a way to keep the cord from twisting to much so you dont have to worry about spinning the thing backwards after every run.

[@dariorodriguez7157]

excellent Work....a learn a lot from you...thank from Argentina.

[@andrewcourt5156]

Very nice piece of equipment.. is there some sort mechanical or electrical interlock that would stop the machine from doing too many say clockwise cuts before it has to operate anti clock wise, to prevent the cable getting so twisted up that it damaged it?

[@johngalt5572]

Beautiful tool. Any way you can add auto shut off after one rotation, and next run will always be in the opposition direction?

[@thiagocruzy]

this channel is intelligence personified. 100% extreme

[@lazaroslazarou6526]

Every time... you surprise me!! Unimaginable!!

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you!

[@Defender40]

I'm curious how you change the size of the notch for different diameter tubing. It looks like the smaller diameter tubing has an oddly shaped notch? Is there a way to adjust the diameter of the pattern and the post with wheel (I don't know what it's called sorry) that follows the pattern to make this fit different diameters?

[@martinjean8790]

Un réel plaisir que de regarder cet artiste. Merci

[@aimDiego]

The curved removable pieces, the ones that make the cutter move up and down, are they universal? Or do you have to change them for different diameters?

[@swinfi2]

I wonder if it would be a good (or bad) idea to use a twistable linkage like you get on a pushbike break line on the plasma cutter cable

[@Robertlavigne1]

You could add a limit switch that would stop it after a rotation and trigger it to counter rotate until it tripped the switch again. Simple and removes the need to babysit it and deal with the wire problems. I suppose it would also have to cut power to the cutter.

[@MurrayTymms]

OMG, there are a few people on KZbin that just 'raise the bar' - you are definitely in that class, fantastic. Question: In the early part the motor appears to be a wiper motor (I think) and towards the end, there is a completely different motor. What is that one? Keep up the great work.

[@SaltyVibrations]

Most impressive creation yet!! Well engineered and very handy. Hell yeah!!

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you!

[@mksboysal]

Wow it's quite impressive tool you made man!

[@ecrusch]

You are getting applause from here. I've subscribed and clicked the thumbs up.

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you so much! :)

[@dop3ship]

how did u determine the curve. would it have to be a different size for a different diameter pipe ?

[@mst5632]

Awesome piece of engineering. I hope you make enough money to stay self employed and not making money for someone else because your talent is unmatched by most. Keep up the great work!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

[@THYKAER]

not only do you have some amazing ideas ! but your also make it happen !

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you! :)

[@James-iq4fz]

Could you not place a capture tray underneath with a microswitch to kill the torch once the waste hits it? just a thought. Awesome set-up

[@grazianoturbogas]

The guide for the notch you made is ok only for a specific diameter if pipes. The guide you'll need for smaller pipes will be not so immediate to build. A simple mechanism should be with a regulable manuvel_biel mechanism. Than you twisted horribly the cable of the pladma torch. You need a stop switch somewhere. Then as we have understood that a rebuild is needed this time, may be you should take in account also angulate joints. It should be not so difficult. As a suggestion: "the radial distance of your guide following roller, has to be also reguble" Nice try keep on! This is a game changer device. If you solve those issues you should make a kichstarter campain for this!

[@Modelero]

Which tollerances did you keep on the bearing huosing? I'm just curious.

[@jimmyfavereau]

so MANY great and transferable ideas.. Kudos!

[@edtix]

What problem have you met with making rotary pipe instead of cutter? I think the cutter can move in axis parallel to pipe and pipe rotates. Such machine can be even CNC upgradeable. Is there some detail hard to do?

[@mfwoodshop]

Very cool, how your your mind works blows me away

[@MakeitExtreme]

Thank you Mike! :)

[@MakeitExtreme]

Glad you like it! :)

[@russhellmy]

Great video and cool design. Just curious about the Cam piece. I didn't see you change the cam piece for the different diameter pipes. surely larger diameter pipe would need a more aggressive cam to get the correct notch shape, correct?

[@SierzantYelonek]

I dont understand how it works at 9:20 . When pipe is turned due to the axis of this machine , the path of cutting should be an eclipse, not circle any more. How the torch keeps distans to the material . can you cut it straight with 90 angle just like on a saw machine ?

[@guidothumb2148]

All the people are asleep and dreaming! Nice hearing Puppy in a shop! I worked third shift and was alone in my tool-room so had my own CPU speaker set-up so I wouldn't have to listen to the same 7 country songs play every hour for 6 hours. Management would hear my rivet-head music when they came in, or my drum and bass, and they thought I was weird/fucked up in head/on drugs. Hell, I broke a wrench once and bumped into a sharp die with an artery, spraying the ceiling and room. Being the first aid guy, nobody else could clean it up. Management arrived before I got back from stitches, and thought I did a blood sacrifice!

[@bryantross322]

I like this plasma cutter notcher but I think it would also be cool if the pipe went through the mechanism and the plasma cutter could cut down the length of the pipe. Can you think of some uses for something like this?

[@turbocobra]
