anyone else?

 

I had one, what do you plan to cut with it?

 

ive seen this before it looks real cool can you make flanges and things with this? also how much does it cost

 

They cost like $10k new, I had one for 6 months and hated it, the cuts came out terrible, nothing like the demo video. I had the thing tuned in pretty well, the thicker the material, the worse the cut. Ive since bought a CNC mill, and would never buy a CNC plasma table again....not to mention the mess it made, along with the nasty *** fumes. I had to build an exhaust system for it. Not worth it at all, unless you plan to make ornamental stuff out of 16ga or thinner material.

 

we are currently finishing up the prototype plasma-table we will sell; servo motor, 40a plasma cutter, controller and all hardware, ready to run, for $10K or less. your plasma cam is most likely a lower output machine.

 

thanks for the feedback guys. I just got the info packet and its way out of my price range.

 

I have the plans to build one of these. It's a pantograph by Torchmate. It's not a CNC. It just copys already made patterns. I heard it works pretty good. Haven't built it yet tho. This is not what your asking about but I thought it might be good info for people that can't afford a CNC plasma table.
