DIY plasma
Just wondering if anyone has had issues with building this Kit in metric measurements IE 4 inch beam = 101.6 mm 2 inch = 50.8mm and where I am located in Australia being a metric country. Everything is 25,50, 75 and 100 mm. I understand the common recommendation is to purchase a table from a supplier like lanngmuire or other brand. Unfortunately due to shipping costs that isn't really a viable option and the cheapest option that is any sort of decent quality here is 10k and only is capable of cutting half sized sheets. Any info would be appreciated thank you

none of the square tubing has to be exactly the same size. If it varies a couple mm that’s no problem.

150amps with pedal. 3/32filler and tungsten. 140hz. 32 AC Balance. 7 L/min

@Ricardo Arellano Nope that is one of the parts that gets cut from steel. It’s in the files in the course.

@Cameron Warech Unfortunately I don’t know a ton about the electronics, I bought a control unit from the guy listed in the course and just followed the wiring diagram, a good option but not budget.

@Cameron Warech He’s already got at least one motor, all my motor controllers were integrated into the electronics system I got so I don’t know what to tell him to get. I just bought an electrical box, cut my motor cables to length, and plugged the motors in. As for torch wiring that depends on his plasma cutter and his control system. I only know how it works with the setup I used. Mine was just plugging a premade 2 wire cable into the electrical box and wiring those 2 wires to the right pins on my plasma cutter and running the plasma torch lead. If someone buys the exact same setup as me I can advise on that no problem but I only know enough to advise him on that option and only that one. All that info is in the course, he can buy the electronics system from the same guy I got it from, buy the same plasma cutter I got, and just slap it all together. It’s all in the course and then I can answer any additional specific questions here.
Build or buy?
I want to pull the trigger soon on a plasma table. How much money can be saved by building your own? Those Langmuir tables seem pretty cheap for what they are. Convince me on the best path forward. I plan on making personal parts or potentially small scale production volume. If I have a product truly take off, I will most likely outsource it. Whats besr for my needs?

I honestly don’t think it’s worth building your own unless you just really want to. A system designed by a company like langmuir is easier to trouble shoot and repair and you probably won’t save any money and certainly won’t save time in setup. I went with high quality components on my 5x10 and spent more than the langmuir 5x10 costs and it took me a couple months to build vs a couple days of setup. It’s personal preference but you won’t save money and have a more reliable and equally as user friendly product, you will only achieve that by spending more than a langmuir system and even then you may or may not get the user friendliness. Want a hobby? Build your own. Want little to no headaches buy one. I can’t vouch for the quality of a langmuir or the experience because i’ve never had one but i’ve heard they’re pretty good, definitely do your own research.
