Hi All. I'm building a plasma cutter of my own design and putting the whole process up on YouTube. I also plan to open source the whole thing once I'm done. Here's a CAD screenshot so you can see what I'm shooting for.

 

I also go over the smaller prototype version in this video:



If you're thinking of building your own table, follow along so you don't make the same mistakes I do.  My channel is at www.youtube.com/@MetalHeadCNC

I'm also going to be showing off, and eventually open sourcing, the CAM program I'm building to go along with it. You can check out the alpha version here if you're so inclined:

Thank you very much for sharing Alan. Looking forward to more videos and the finished machine as I'm gathering parts and about to start building. Br, Henrik.

I think you should add a lot more bracing to those legs unless you like dancing tables!
