It takes me a little while to really learn one machine cuz I keep bouncing around different machines. This is my CNC Router that I converted to plasma with some 3D printed parts I designed and a relay to fire the torch. Getting ready for Christmas.
I'll never be ready for the Christmas music.

Christmas? Life of a maker, I guess. At least you're preparing.

@admin one bit, about 1X2 inch, landed on my shoe on this one. It melted my strings. Did not even know it till yesterday morning.

@admin There is a pile of slag in the shop floor i leave there to catch falling metal. I am still working on the water pan to catch the drops and help keep the sheet metal cool to reduce warping.

@admin I deburr with a wire wheel on a M18 side grinder. When you have all the setting right, Feed and speed, Torch height, there is little to no slag to clean off.

@admin The clamp is positive. The torch tip is negative.

I have the kerf set to .068in. That changes a bit on mine from time to time cuz I do not have a good water filter on my shop air.

I have so many questions. Is it like welding? Was the black clamp like a negative lead? How the fuck are you gonna deburr that thing? How much metal is that dumping onto the shop floor from all the sparks? What is the kerf lol
