I'm waiting on delivery of my table and have been surfing around for tricks. The canvas thing is new to me - thanks. I've got some tips for you too. I've got cad/cam background just not fusion. If you're designing something with symmetry like the KZbin button, just draw one side and mirror it to the other. Also, your construction line for spelling out KZbin could have been an offset from the bottom of the button. Basically, just copy/mirror existing geometry when you can rather than redrawing the same things over and over.

How does this compare to using a water jet cutter?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Not to sure on that. Ive hooked up water jets before at my day job as an electrician. It seems like there is a lot more moving parts with a water jet and im not sure if they cut as fast. But dont take my word for it. Sorry im not much help on that one.

[@ttamn92]

I'm just now trying to learn more about cnc plasma tables but I used to run a large waterjet at my old job and they have a LOT of maintenance requirements and the invoices I seen were very expensive because most people don't realize that it isn't just water that's used but also a fine ground garnet with the high pressure water is what cuts the material..that garnet fills the tub up and must be removed and that's exspensive also ...I believe laser cutting is the best but very costly to get into and plasma seems to be the best way to get started for me atleast.... main point is waterjet cutting has alot of hidden costs associated with it

[@marigonzales3330]

Does it use a hand held plasma cutter if not which cnc table does

[@ironhide3259]

Waterjet will generally have cleaner cuts with smaller kerf (width of the cut) and almost zero draft (plasma will leave a slight angle from top of cut to bottom). Waterjet also introduces zero heat to the parts so warping and property changes like hardening or softening at the edge of the cut don't occur. But a waterjet machine takes up alot of space, is expensive to operate (as some have mentioned), and price wise start 15 to 20x more expensive than this little plasma table.

[@Kaiju3301]

Water jet can cut through just about any material, greater thickness, and cuts cleaner. The water jet is much more expensive than the plasma table though so unless you need the extra performance, the plasma table is just fine.

Great video, very useful! Thank you! just an fyi, pronunciation for an engineering style fillet = fil-it, not fil-eh.

Sure did enjoy this in-depth explanation. I would love to learn how to do this but I’m not sure this old dog can’t learn new tricks but, I think my son would love it. He has a 3D printer and is using CAD so it might come easy for him. Again, nice job on the video and explaining the process!

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks Doug. Its definitely a lot of trial and error. Im sure you would figure it out. Your pretty damn sharp if you ask me. Ill be getting you a rendering soon on your logo too.

Your old cause you stopped learning, the brain like the rest of your body is designed to be used..

Garden markers $10 each or 3 for $45??? ill take 3 individual ones for $30 please. great video, some really helpful advice.

Excuse me if I missed it, but have you figured out what the input cost is to operate your table for an hour?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

I have not. Are you talking overhead to run the machine ?

[@klappy803]

@@SpicerDesignsLLC Yes.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

@@klappy803 i havent. Its pretty minimal for the amount i use it. I usually do a couple cuts a week. So maybe 30 minutes of usage. Would be interesting to know for heavier use.

[@klappy803]

@@SpicerDesignsLLC It sure would. Every so often I kick around the idea of some light fabrication/creation. I would think that especially as a start up part time shop and in order to calculate profit per hour, that it would be crucial to know how much the electricity to run the machine for an hour would cost.

I’m building my self a plasma table, I have been trying to learn the CAD it Certainly is a challenge

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

I recommend Lars Christianson for sure. It gets easier and easier as you go. Im no expert but feel free to reach out if you have any questions. You can email me too if its easier for you.

Where do you Buy a Good Sheet of Metal For $100 Dollars

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

No where now. I stocked up the last order a couple months ago at about $115 a sheet. I do have a deal where I get cut off right from the roll mill for dirt cheap. I might adjust that thumbnail. just trying to use even numbers for the title.

[@Jeepmeat1974]

Funny thing they don’t want to correlate with your KZbin channel ! I asked if they’d distribute to Australia ! Their response was we are not at all interested in in that 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Im now affiliated with them. That was when i had about 500 subs.

[@flanikent]

I'll take it but my bid is -$2 you gotta pay me

[@procowinc]

16 dollars

[@steveu235]

1 for ten dollars or 3 for 45$ do you get many takers for 3?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Yes

[@tomthompson7400]

2:06 ,,,, great business model ,,, 10 dollars each , or 3 for forty five ,,,, now I see how your making money.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Ya i made a mistake. I’ve definitely heard about it many times in the comments.

[@northmanventures]

I wish a 4x8 sheet of 14 gauge cost $100...twice that here. And that was a month ago...prices going up.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

It was 115 last i bought steel. I might change that thumbnail cause it keeps rising.

[@northmanventures]

@@SpicerDesignsLLC Well, I'm up in Alaska...so we get hosed on raw material prices

[@SixFourEnt2012]
