Making Plasma Cutting Machine

[@MrBailey-ng9kw]

And once again I have been proven Wrong!! There is professional, intelligent people still living on this earth. Thank you great build! From start to the finish product! Cheers! Jp

[@Vodichka9]

"Anyone can make something with GOOD equipment", I recall a machine shop foreman saying in response to complaints about dull end mills and worn out Bridgeports. But, it takes someone truly resourceful to make something like this with drill presses and grinders. Really nicely done! Subscribed.

[@FlipLoLz]

A lead screw and bar stock, not really that hard to make. But for what it does, it's overly complex, and will just be far more hassle trying to control your level of dross with a potentiometer. The the actual setting it up. You're better off just using a simple guide. I think everyone else watching figured he was working on an x axis gantry setup, for as much as he put into this.

[@paulpaintshop103]

@@FlipLoLz For 30+ years I've used a pair of vice grips and a heavy piece of angle iron to achieve the exact same result. And it's quicker to set up and cost free, finding an elaborate expensive way to do a simple task doesn't always pay off.

[@milanstarcevic5162]

[@ransouthall3497]

I spent the whole video wondering when he was going to start making the y-axis. Then realised... oh. Very nice build all the same. I especially liked the electromagnet clamps.

[@eCitizen1]

Excellent use of an old drill. I really like the final result. It seems better than by hand. But, I do a fairly good job with a foot to hold the correct height and a straight edge to follow.

Congrates on putting all that in on under 20 minites! All it needs now is a bungy hung from the ceiling to hold the plasma cord/hose up from work and a cut-off switch on each end to shut down feed when it reaches the ends of travel. Well done.

Really nice Job Step by Step, good Construction. The only one thing : I would Set two switches . One on Start and one adjustable at the end to save the Cordless screwdriver for overturn.

[@chancho00]

He did explained that, no need to use those switches since he's using the clutch on the drill, that makes the machine less complicated but still can be added later if he wants.

[@Vodichka9]

All the suggestions about limit switches are completely misplaced. The clutch on the drill is fine to use as the limiting mechanism. Amazing how many bookworms completely miss the simplicity of this design. AND, he got the drill from a scrap heap. I built highly complex injection molds for most of my life, and I know when precision is required, and I know when it isn't. Nothing wrong or deficient in the design. Plasma cutting is not in any way aerospace precision.

Исполнение хорошее. По названию можно подумать, что автор сейчас сделает плазморез с нуля, но это видео про автоматическую направляющую каретку для ручного плазмореза. Идея с магнитами заслуживает отдельного уважения.

[@zincyellowmach1523]

Wow that's awesome, great job. You could add limit switches to each end that cut out that directions power feed when it hits the end and only allows going the other direction, just for a little added protection.

[@MrWeelliott]

I considered this too, but thought of another way of protecting it that would likely be easier: use a cordless drill with a torque setting that just slips when it hits a certain torque. Set it low since this shouldn't actually have to overcome much resistance beyond the stiffness of the Plasma cutter's cable/hose. In my admittedly biased opinion it is an elegant solution. I think this is a great video.

[@SY1WEK]

Cannot get any better than making your own tool. Nice!

[@DewaSenapanIndonesia]

[@rogerdeane3608]

You need to fit limiter switchers through two DPDT relays so it returns to zero after each cut. A guide wheel to lift the cable at the control box would be good extra.

[@PaulojnPereira]

I was thinking how easy it would be to attach propper stepper motors and arduino board. Place the gantry on two rails for a stable Y axis and turn it into a plasma CNC cutter.

[@OsiDio]

Hahaha that was my thought exactly, where them safety stops! Otherwise this is really nice. I could see it have a HUGE use in a weld school. That's literally perfect for making bar stock to weld on

[@wendelhaberl9593]

[@MrNams]

That's slick. I'd add some limit switches at the ends. Then you could walk off and let it run when cutting thick steel and not have to sit and watch it. Then either tap into the plasma switch circuit or add a solenoid to activate the torch head.

[@MrRomka404]

You sir are truly a gifted Craftsman

[@edwardlance2379]

A small tip: When cutting on the band saw, especially flat material, put a wedge under the piece in the vice so the flat material sits at an angle, that way you shorten the amount of material the blade is cutting across. It'll cut through it much faster.

[@welshdave5263]

Wouldn't it be cutting through the exact same cross sectional area regardless of orientation?

[@edwardlance2379]

@@welshdave5263 overall, yes, but with it flat, you are riding the blade on a lot larger surface area at once. Angled, the blade is only engaging a much smaller surface area at any given time. Think of cutting a 2x4 with a hand saw, most cut either at an angle or from the edge, not flat across the width. It's quicker and easier.

[@Anomaly.Filmworks]

@@edwardlance2379 less accurate.

[@edwardlance2379]

@@Anomaly.Filmworks not in my experience.

[@Anomaly.Filmworks]

@@edwardlance2379 if you cut a flat piece at an angle, you're cutting more than if it was flat.

Love the project. For the future, as another two sets of these, to make X and Y and a few steppers or servos and a controller and you'll have one heck of CNC plasma cutter, ohhhh maybe adding a way to swap out the plasma cutter with a CNC rotary tool (a Dremel). Yeah, I wish I had the tools to do that lol

[@billsutherland2128]

Nice job! Speaking as a robotics engineer, to take your work to the next level you need a sand blasting booth. Removing the mill scale and burrs before and after you manufacture parts, and again before you paint makes the difference in a millimeter or two in length and arch degrees. Your projects produce less undesirable twist and vibration.

[@Vodichka9]

That is gobbledygook. You completely miss the point of his design: quick and dirty construction produces straight line plasma cutting. Period. You're a robotics "engineer" and you think sandblasting will take it to the next level?
