CNC Plasma cutting square tubing
Guys, I'm in the process of building my own CNC plasma (build details on another thread). The more I'm getting involved in this, the more uses I discover for CNC plasma cutting. One of those is that I'd like to make display shelving brackets and posts for my wife's clothing shop. The shelving brackets themselves appear to be straightforward but I'd like to use square or rectangular tubing for the verticals. Something like the attached picture. So my question is how high is it possible to raise the torch from the table bed i.e. what is the maximum size square tube that I'd be able to lay on the table? It appears from Grant's videos that the space between the bed and the torch is rather limited. Is it possible to position my water pan lower in the table frame in order to gain some extra distance? In that case, would I still be within the limits of travel of the ball screw on the z axis?

If you mount your water table so that the bottom of the water table is flush with the bottom of the frame that should get you a bit more z space. For mine I also designed a z motor spacer to get the ball screw bearing above the main y carriage. That gives a lot more z axis travel, I will post the files later. I’m not at home right now but if you want I can send you some pics and z axis clearance when I get back

Just checked I have 4.5in z clearance on my table. That’s from the top of the slats to bottom of torch when all the way at the top of z travel

Question about plasma CNC port
I’m looking to get a Everlast PowerPlasma 82i for my plasma table that I’m building. so I’m wondering what type of port it has at the back for CNC. Or does it come with a connector for it.

@Grant Pratt That’s what I’m planning as well, keep it simple for now

My 1st Scrap Art Work
I made a lil something for my dad to celebrate his 80th birthday. He was a machinist by trade. Completely made out of stainless except for the cap which is copper. I TIG'd the entire thing, including the copper cap. A big thanks to @Grant Pratt for the info he shared with me regarding TIG welding copper. Anyway, let me know what y'all think 🤔 😄
