Simple DIY CNC plasma table with plasma cutter for 600$ off Amazon.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Hey folks Esther and I are taking a little break, yeah this is an old video but I hope you folks enjoy it.

[@professorfalken4600]

You deserve a break, but we would like to see you mow the lawn in flip flops and shorts. 🤣

[@CSmith-oz4wp]

These old videos are now historical documentation of what was. Now you move forward and create the new history that we all can be part of. You may have your private moments, which is understandable, but to me you’re showing great strength. Like, share and keep looking forward.

[@kenmanzo8471]

Well deserved break !!

[@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie]

Have a great break

[@kyleforeman4543]

Well deserved I'd say..not a problem watchin it ..

[@eaglebill3738]

Brent, during this hard time for you, you have been surprised and overwhelmed about how much support we all are giving you. This is the perfect example of why WE ALL SUPPORT YOU! You took it upon yourself to create an affordable system for us to be able to purchase and use because you saw the need for it and wanted to help us out. You have gone way above and beyond to put this together without it being for profit and a sales pitch. You are the best out there and we all want to see you back to normal as soon as possible. Wishing the best to you and Esther (and the dogs) Thank you for all you do!

[@ryanreaves1203]

You're a heck of a lot smarter than you think you are brent!!!

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Goes to show you care about folks. No up sell to purchase plans, no unreal expectations. Thanks for sharing and revisiting a great DIY tool👍

[@jaya.6163]

I think what you are doing is very cool. Trying to help other people out with their shop, even though you are going through a lot right now. It speaks volumes as to the type of man you are. Hats off to you sir. Love your videos.

[@mikeburns703]

As a professional cnc plasma cutting machine operator (retired), I recommend using the highest current setting for best operation at any thickness. Low current means you will have to cut with slower rate of travel for all thicknesses. best speed/cut quality will be found (on units such as yours) at the highest settings. Industrial machines are usually run at full current to maximize cutting speed and minimize slag.

[@robinbryde3038]

If anyone deserves a break, it's you and Esther....thanks for sharing this video 😎👍

[@jayinmi3706]

I about lost it when you started cutting out the ICP hatchet guy. lol I did not see that coming. haha

[@maxdragon91]

This is one great do-it-yourself video, thank you!

[@fitzeesfabrications]

That was just too cool. I love homemade cheap stuff! For most I feel that isa big enough table to have. Small brackets is mostly what you end up making most times. Very well executed. Thanks. Great..... something else I need to build!! Lol

[@astravanmk2]

Dang you are a clever fella Brent. It’s great that you can modify things to work for your given situation.

[@robsdeviceunknown]

What a brilliant idea. If this one didnt get destroyed in the fire, I would try to suspend the hose to the plasma as much as I can to remove the weight and friction so those light motors will work better.

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha yeah it's a goner.

[@Stahodad]

Thanks for showing the unit. Looking forward to the future builds and stuff. 👍

[@robertbennett9243]

Cool demonstration and info on plasma cutter on the cheap. You explain everything pretty well. Thanks for the info.

[@joelstaab6773]

Yeah... almost... or does hurt. I mean seeing and remembering how it was...

[@davepink637]

Brent you master I might try that myself, im an old mechanic but the way you explained anyone with a bit of care can do it we owe you brent, even without your shop you entertain and educate brilliantly, thanks again to you and Esther

[@TheTubeTube2]

Brent, I’m really impressed and that’s a fact. You’ve just gone through hell itself, taken a beating and after a lightning quick clear up, have already come bouncing back with a really useful episode, not just successfully experimenting, but thinking of what other people might find useful. Man… hats off, that’s an admirable, admirable attitude. No wonder so many people took you to their hearts and really tried to help you through. Isn’t that just what’s needed most in these tortured times.

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Great job 👍 thanks for sharing the build!

[@josephfarber6027]

my hat off to you, and i thought you're just a simple mechanic .you are a master jack of all trades.

[@dougdunham7607]

Almost hard to watch knowing what happened to the shop, but awesome video as usual!

[@danielbuckner2167]

I know... so many things in the background are gone.

[@codycarlson6127]

What happened ?

[@codycarlson6127]

@dougdunham7607 what happened?

[@jujjuj7676]

Let me tell you.. Your the only damn person who actually cares to do this for us... And have watched countless videos of how to do this and everyone who made one ends up marking it up and selling for 4k.. Thank you for the effort and time to provide this to us.. Love this channel... 😊

[@waynedavis7245]

It maybe a old video, but it's very informative. The fact that you took the time to put it out for us speaks volumes about you. I'm impressed with you to do this for us . Take your time and do what you have to do. Again thank you.

[@kirkoglesby6175]

Once I get the shop expanded this year, I'll be digging back into this video. Thanks, Brent. Y'all are appreciated, brother.

[@lifeofbhomb7264]

My dad watches your videos daily. Was sitting in the living room and seen you make a hatchet man on his TV! Looks like you have yourself a new subscriber now

[@Jerrynan]

Keep your chin up your an awesome mechanic. I can't believe how well you are making the best of the bad situation.

[@fullwaverecked]

I can't say enough how you simply explain things, so I won't. Suffice to say, looking forward to your next video. Thanks and wish you all the best. Cheers!

[@jesscourt9068]

You are an inspiration in many ways. Fantastic.

[@donaldlawton7384]

I'm surprised I hadn't seen this one yet.Thank you Brent. Love it👍👍

[@murrayandru7527]

Brent if Anyone could make it ..... that would be You.. You got magic others only wish they had , Kudos Take care , Enjoy All.

[@williamdalbey4867]

Watching this video, emphasized for me, just how much you' ve lost in the fire. Watching you regularly, I could see all of your equipment, but, things get lost in the background of the project you are working on. I can't begin to imagine the roller coaster of emotions you and Esther are riding. Like all of your subscribers, I'll watch whatever content you can put out for us.

[@davidfleishman2275]

Great build there Brent.The price is right.I will post to you some brake adjusting tools and other stuff tomorrow.

[@fonhollohan2908]

85 dollars Canadian is 116 dollars Canadian, then if there's shipping added that's even sometimes a lot more. Good stuff, Brent. thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@morgansword]

I remember the video, as I did a cad program in tech school. I struggled hard for a bit with auto cad 11.5. Now that there are freeware programs, much much easier to do simple stuff and when its really cooking in your noggin, no limits ... just make it! I pray things are going as best as possible Brent. Give Ester a great hug from admirer in alaska... I love all of ya

[@glennnickerson8438]

I value your opinion in this video Brent and as always am entertained and educated! Thanks for letting me watch!😆

[@keithmason9342]

Thanks again Brent, old smold, it doesn't matter. Worth a second watch. You sir are a great help to those trying something new on a budget. Hope you enjoy a few days off. We'll see you next time.

[@richardhill4862]

Very nice presentation, even a guy like me could follow along. Some day I would like to try this. To me it looks like fun.

[@jeffpowers2916]

Great video Brent. Thank you for taking the time to show folks how to make some còol tools to help them save money.

[@peterbogdan9176]

Good effort on combining these two items 👏

[@lil_1443]

You know you saved people thousands of dollars. BRAVO!!!

[@shanehack871]

And suddenly, we can all have a cnc plasma table. How bloody brilliant!

[@amorton94]

As someone with no real need for a plasma table, I've been wanting one for years. Very cool video.

[@hoov1998]

I know this is tough but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, I am thinking that a guy like you will come out on top!👍

[@edwardmartin3069]

Great video..!!! Your demonstration and explanation skills are pretty effective at getting the information out there for us other Neanderthals to use to set up our own machines. Hey, if I can understand it, (I'm in my mid-70s) most people will have no problem

[@larryreece1403]

GREAT VIDEO! It makes a lot of sense! I've got a bigger Miller Plasma I'm going to try it out!

[@JDLR956]

Been waiting for this one! How-to with prices and links! Much appreciated 🤘

[@kevinmoore5116]

You know you have some great builds that happened long ago enough that they could be replayed and put em out again (38 Pontiac comes to mind). As long as they were declared as replay not new I don’t think anyone who’s seen em would mind and maybe give some new viewers a chance to get caught up. Your stuff is so good I like to rewatch em anyway. Wish I had 10% of your talent and humor. And the chance to support the cardboard cad supplies wish you.

[@garymccord4277]

Thanks for showing your strength in time of need and surviving for another day. Hats off to your Brent and Esther for showing you car your your watchers

[@dansimmons1964]

Thanks for breaking that down for us. After watching this I am confident I can do this! Thanks Brent!!

[@mikedavis3841]

You're like a real cool fabrication professor.👍!

[@DreammoreRealty]

It is pretty nice to see you getting back on your feet and laughing again. My Best regards

[@papawheelie5835]

Really cool, easy to follow guide for the do it yourselfer. I'm forwarding a link to my son who has recently expressed an interest in a plasma table of his own for some hobby stuff. Thanks Brent!

[@mrmotofy]

Hmm very cool idea. Like the out of the box thinking. Lots of times I've thought it'd be nice to have one

[@timcook7949]

I think we all understand. Rest up. We all appreciate you and the stuff you do. Thank you for going out of your way to build this and show us how simple it is.

[@kitchenengineer1731]

Awesome. I've been considering a plasma for my garage but the cost scared me. This is getting me back in the game. Thanks

[@jamesfairbairn1588]

Great video Brent. I learned something new. I think I can manage to do this. I appreciate the how to video to simplify things. Thanks for sharing.

[@corydriver7634]

I’m glad you’re taking care of yourselves you guys are the best. I know it’s easy for me to say but relax and forget about this crap for awhile, it’ll be here when ever you’re ready.

[@valkyriecatherinemaclamont9926]

Pays homage to the old shop.. sheds a tear for all the tools .

[@kenbarrmi]

Sorry about your shop and I don't blame you for stepping back!!! I hope you can rebuild your shop!! I enjoy your videos and how talented you are!! God's speed and the best of luck to you!!! Best wishes!!

[@dangerousreader23]

I look forward to your videos every week, whether they are old or new. It's such a treat to hear your banter and knowledge through these videos.

[@art1muz13]

0:23; Of course you figured out how to put it all together, Mr. IT guy!! Thank you for sharing. I hope everything keeps going golden, ay.

[@douglasstewart9528]

Thank you for the laugh 😂 at the end of the video of the laser pic!! Appreciate the info

[@33musik]

To say you didn't know what you were doing. I think you have done a very good job of explaining everything, thank you very much.

[@dadedubbledee]

Great rig Brent, simple and very affordable Thanks. You and Esther deserve a break. Yall take it easy, I guarantee we will be here ready.

[@dennisjones1642]

Hi again Halfass Kustoms Brent and Esther from here in the D Michigan hey the Motor city 😁 Thanks so much appreciated Brent for your time and video of how to build a CNC Plasma cutter 🔥🤩👍 Awesome

[@Hardwyre]

As someone who built their own laser cutter and used a half dozen different free and "included" software with various no-name components and controllers, Light Burn is absolutely worth the money. My subscription expired, but I can still use and install the last version I got; but I'm going to pay the $30 to re-up so that I can update. The big stand out is that LB runs so much faster and with none of the crashes that the cheap software had. There's also a ton of features that I haven't even gotten into and should. Sometimes paying for well-developed components or software saves you a fortune in frustration and lost time.

[@dieselfeen1471]

This right here is why you are my favorite channel! You are a wonderful person thanks for the idea!

[@ringass1]

Just found your site. Very good. Nice to see a regular guy on KZbin. I am going to try out this plasma table. Thanks a lot for figuring it all out. I was a heavy duty mechanic for over 40 years. Now I'm done, but I still like to play.

[@donbeeler49]

Trying to help other people out with their shop, even though you are going through a lot right now. It speaks volumes as to the type of man you are.

[@shloopter30]

Gotta be tough seeing the before shop. Appreciate the video. I have been going back to watch your older videos before I subscribed.

[@dayslife]

that was such a great video Brent, thanks for taking the time to share it with us ... i guess this prototype didn't survive, but i'll bet next one will even be better ...👍🏼💕🍺

[@rayschick1043]

I always enjoy your video's even if I've seen them before.Sometimes forget this or that and it refreshes my memory. I hope you have an enjoyable time off and refresh. I can't imagine going thru what you folks have gone thru lately. I wish you the best dealing with your insurance company.

[@steptowdaughters2633]

Enjoy your well deserved Kit Kat..Thank you for sharing this.Cheers.

[@ghouliesgarage3922]

When you first mentioned this I thought it was a great idea ! Always good to see a Halfass kustoms notification! Makes my day

[@williamcurry2444]

So glad you built a time machine and got your shop back!

[@terryeustice5399]

So this new unit burned up in the fire.yes in your old garage. So, you and Esther need a break getting all this back together. Thanks Brent. God’s blessings to you both.

[@1yris1]

That is awesome! Something I had been thinking about. Its irritating watching people use really expensive plasma tables and knowing you could either never afford it or not use it enough to justify the purchase if you could afford one. But this is bad ass!

[@nicolasstanley1392]

This is exactly the video I’ve been hoping for! Thanks Brent

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

Very cool walk through on the plasma CNC build for under $1k

[@robertwilliams4373]

I would just like to thank you for your diy cnc plasma video. Bought the cnc and a arcfony low frequency plasma cutter. It worked awesome. No issues with emi. Used your relay method to wire it. My complete setup was under 900.00 😊😊😊

[@blaineverhelle4104]

That's totally cool. I've been looking at those hobby plasma tables. They start at about 3 grand. I like this idea. I'll have to look into it. Thank you so much for all you do. Sorry about your loss. I know what it's like to have a garage fire. I've been through one of my own and two of my brothers. He lost his 62 Corvette twice. I lost my 2011 Chevy HD 4x4 and all my tools. Keep the faith it will work out. I ended up with a much bigger and better shop than I had before.

[@billyhaddock5540]

Thanks Brent on showing-us all how the cnc plasma table works. all the best to all and ur dogs.. lv from florida

[@JourneymanRandy]

Very helpful information for a guy who isn't familiar with computer stuff. Very good. Nice to see the shop again and sorry for your loss.

[@sherrillferguson2668]

Makes me want to spend money. Great content and this afternoon I went to the grocery and nest door a sign saying Harbor Freight coming soon on the storefront. 5 mile from my shop. Have a great day and hope all is getting better. Many prayers for you on you're adventure at this time here on the big blue marble

[@timorzel3871]

Now I have a better understanding of what you are doing when you make parts. Excellent vid. Thankis

[@popularpyro665]

This video gave me the “kick” I needed to get a start in the cnc plasma cutting world. I’m grateful for the motivation. 😁

[@franksgarage8551]

Thanks Brent! Its awesome for a small scale plasma table. At the end, i get the wire thing now, to keep pilot arc consistent. Ring terminal was brilliant!

[@kennethewertz9313]

Oh wow, I did not realize how home sick I am for the old shop. This was good in so many ways but seeing Brent doing this in his old shop was a gas. I know I can go back and watch old shows but this was different than that. Another mind expanding DIY from the man!

[@bobbybrown1708]

Love your positive attitude, incredible the advancements in technology over the last ten years.

[@garycadieux9649]

Thanks for showing us this. I'm sorry about your shop. On, Kingston, Canada. May 25th 2023

[@kenmanzo8471]

I want to make one !!! Pretty cool as always great job Brent !!!

[@kevinwilliams7979]

Fantastic job. I'm tech inept. This was very helpful, thank you so much 😊😊😊😊

[@victorbeard7149]

I think you are Brilliant. I enjoyed your video. I worked in a window factory . Our cutting tables were bigger versions of this .

[@deaneads3098]

Still above my head but with this could keep watching and fumble my way through --- thanks--- it helps---.

[@danielbuckner2167]

Brent, thanks for taking some of the mystery out of this! I hope you and the family are getting things sorted out and hopefully the ins co. isn't giving you too much grief.

[@oursxsadventures8156]

I love it. I've got an interest in plasma cutting tables but not really a demand to justify the cost or the room in the shop for one. This video solves both issues. Thanks and enjoy your break, we'll be here.

[@terrencebuller7676]

Really cool, I was wondering how this worked out. Take care and best wishes. 👍👍

[@darylbrown5351]

Your video was alsome , I already have a plasma , and got me think about explaining my setup. Thank you.😊

[@lindsayferris1073]

This is cool! Another project for me to undertake. I have a router CNC machine that I have been using for a few years and have been thinking about adding a laser to it but now I will try this idea of yours and combine laser and Plasma cutting things are a bit more expensive here in Australia but I already have a Plasma cutter so that keeps the cost down. Thanks very much

[@beararmory1665]

Take all the time you need. We will be here when your ready

[@rcastillon1]

This was GREAT!! You sir are a genius!! You have so much knowledge and I suspect it is all self taught. It is rare that a person has the depth of know how that you possess but you utilize it well. Thanks for passing all of this on as well.

[@johncorreia9041]

Thanks for the table 411, Matt, going to build one, God bless you and Ester
