If you cut your welding table with your VEVOR plasma cutter, use your VEVOR welder to fix it. Everything comes around as intended!

cutting disk on sheet metal probably wears faster because the sheet moves more pinching the disk edge as it flexes. thanks for the videos

To all potential safety apparel companies that would like a sponsorship opportunity. Ants Pants is a great opportunity. Growing channel, outstanding content, and Andris needs some serious help in the area of safety apparel. Using this video as the perfect example…using a welder and plasma cutter only protected by t-shirt, shorts, and crocs.

As Mike Rowe says: “Safety Third”. Which is about being TOO dependent on safety equipment. Example…I’m a soap maker, it is recommended that you wear eye protection, gloves, long sleeves, long pants and shoes. I forgo everything but the glasses and thus am very conscience about spills and cleanup.

Such a wonderful welding area in the workshop! I Like it. When welding, I always put a spray bottle of water next to the working area. For small burns (e.g. on wood table) I can cool it down / avoid fire. I also have a fire extinguisher in my workshop. In the plasma table, just put some sand in there. And always wear good shoes while doing plasma cutting ;) Plasma is 16000 °C hot. Some days ago, sparks go through my safety shoes... but nothing more happens, it only hurts.

Andris, rule of thumb, multiply psi x 7 = kPa. It’s actually about 6.89 but 7 is good enough to get you a ballpark number. Good cameo by the nieces, you’re such a good Uncle. I’d leave the table empty, it’s a good volume so no need to fill it. The plasma will save you so much time on the projects you do. Great job of the extraction system. Have a good week mate

I'll give you an idea with heating. You could place firewood stove in other room or even make a little room outside. You just need a special stove for that, which I've seen on a market, or it could be a good video idea to make. We made one ourselves, just from a big diameter pipe (maybe 600-700mm). Ends welded with a plate, made a spiral from a steel strip around a pipe, about 50mm height and welded a sheet around. Put a fan which sucks air from the room, sends it through the spiral several times around a pipe, which heats air, and then via air duct you send it where you want. We're heating around 130 square meters of pre-soviet era shop, which leaks air everythere and it works perfect. Pipe is around 1,5m long, but your space is smaller and insulated, so pipe could be way shorter. Best of luck from LT!

Nice cutting table! And congratulations on getting your plasma cutter! I just picked up a plasma cutter last week for doing some major repairs to a trailer. It's an unused Chicago Electric 40Amp 240V non-touch pilot-arc start model. A fellow posted it on Craigslist, and I picked it up for $200 US. I then spent another $135 on getting a selection of plasma "consumables" (cutting tips, electrodes, swirl ring, and insulated retaining cup) for it, including gouging tips for cutting welds from components while keeping the base metal. The benefit of a non-touch pilot-arc plasma cutting version is that the electrodes will last longer if the tip isn't shorted against the material being cut. It also can supposedly do cleaner cuts, and can start cuts on painted or rusted metal. These are also preferred for use with a CNC table. A DIY CNC plasma cutting table is a project I plan to make in the not-to-distant future. Unfortunately, the model Vevor sent you is the slightly less expensive contact version. But heck, as they saying goes; "beggars can't be choosers".... You'll just have to replace the electrodes more often. You might be able to use a standoff to minimize electrode wear and only "touch" to get the arc started.... One thing I learned that might be helpful to you -- you can buy different width tips to cut at different amperages -- useful for cutting thinner materials so you can cut them with a smaller kerf and also reduce the cutting slag on them. I got 20, 30 and 40amp tips for mine. I also got an insulated retaining cup and tips so I can make cuts while touching the material without damaging the electrodes or having to use standoffs. It'll also be easier do plasma gouging using the insulated cup and tips. One other thing I learned is that to be careful of where you buy your "consumables" as a lot of the really cheap ones made in China won't last. There are some Chinese suppliers that make higher quality consumables that don't cost much more -- you just have to find a reputable manufacturer and supplier and buy from them.... One such manufacturer seems to sell consumables under the name "Theia Plasma", called Shanghai Theia Technical Co,.Ltd. I am sure there are others. You might also consider getting an inexpensive in-line desiccant "air dryer", as moisture is also very damaging to the electrodes in plasma cutters. These desiccant "air dryers" use the blue silica gel dessicant beads that turn pink when they need to be re-activated. Re-activating them is as simple as putting them on a shallow tray in the oven and baking the moisture out of them at around 250F or 120C. Packets of these dessicant beads are available from many places and don't cost much. Just make sure you get the blue "indicating" ones that turn color when they need to be re-activated. Here's a link to one that sells for $8 in the US -- I am sure there are similar ones available for around the same price in the EU: www.harborfreight.com/inline-desiccant-dryerfilter-64637.html

They used to tell us to go wait by the road for the red truck, but run around the barn is a little safer. Next time you see a piece somewhere, grab some floor grate for when the table slats are worn out. I use an inverted piece on my hand cut table as the top. I use a water pan under it but sand or wet sand is a good idea.

A plasma cutter uses electric current to melt metal, and then the air-pressure blows the molten metal away, creating a clean-cut. If done right, the metal cut should be blown free of metal and not need to be hammered or otherwise broken free. Try playing with your air pressure settings if it is not cutting cleaning and all the way through. Your travel speed can be too fast or too slow. It just takes practice like welding. To fast travel and the metal does not have enough heat to completely melt and/or time to be blown from the cut. Going to slow can allow metal to blow back into where you already cut. Tip: ALWAYS grind and clean the edges of plasma cuts before trying to weld to remove the impurities introduced by the plasma into the metal. You will be making great cuts all the time now.

Also as the sheet metal is so thin you tend to cut it with the cut off disc plunged deep in the material. Some KZbin channel (I forgot who), did find out, that by cutting just with the disc on the metal surface (disc is tangential to the surface) the discs lasted waaaaay longer

Regarding the cut off disc mystery: I saw a video some time ago, where this exact question was answered. But for the life of me I just can`t remember where I saw it. Anyway, you need to score the metal as long as possible and the discs will last as long as they do when cutting thicker material. When you stick the disc through, you basically cut away the cutting disc on the thin edge of metal.

the quick grinddisch useage can be that you use to big disc if cut thinnsheets use 1mm and only go 1direction away from you...if want to see a disc really disappear very quick pluge the disc and pull it against you ^^ and on the heater... try look into Diesel infraheaters they dont put out that mutch offgas as you would think have hade one for 2years in a house for added baseheating and its very effective.

Build your fireplace outside. Force air through a heat exchange box and into the shop. Weld a roughly 30x30x60 cm box. Cut holes in 2 opposing sides, with several rows of 60 cm long tubes that pass through. These carry clean air that is warmed as HOT exhaust from the fire rises past the tubes. Even fresh (cold) outside air is heated enough to warm the whole shop, and the positive pressure helps get rid of welding smoke. You can even put the fan on a thermostat to regulate the air temperature.

Put some water in the bottom of that table. As for the cutting disc on thin metal, i think it is twisting as it goes through. Try cutting with the metal on a sacrificial piece of wood. And weld some round bar on the bottom of your hood. It makes it stronger, and gets rid of sharp edges.

I used a plasma torch that would cut 4” plate! Just take care of the tungstens, you’ll know when it’s time to change them because it will start cutting a wider cut in the metal, it’s called the kerf!kerf is the gap the machine cuts! The little plasma torches we have are on roll around carts and they are 175 amp torches! They cut so much smoother and with less slag to grind!

How about an external wood fired heater that has a heat exchanger that circulates the hot air by fan into the workshop ? You could weld it up yourself and set it just outside the wall? ❤make a sauna out of it too!

If you are certain about your tack welds on the box, I'd put in a inch of sand. And given all the sparks involved in metal working, I would recommend a couple of fire extinguishers.

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you Andris and family in divine light, now you can try to make a snow blower maybe first a small one to tray it out if you can one you can walk behind like a mower and then a big one for on your bobcat that would be very handy to have with the amount of snow you have. Just a idea 💡.
