- Building a CNC plasma table from scratch finally after many-many months has come to an end. After some steel work, fabrication and welding and months of head scratching and trial & error in the software and hardware department I'm glad to say it's finally finished. This video shows you the very first and awful test cuts with horrible results we encountered in the beginning. But cut after cut the machine got tweaked, each following cut got better and better and finally it works as it should. I learned a lot in the process in the making of this table and have to thank my buddy for designing and building it. Cheers, Blackloop CNC!
I hope you enjoy the video! New 4x4 Off-Road UTV video next week and thanks for watching!

Do you happen to have a parts list available? I've been thinking about a project like this more and more and it would be a great help. Thanks.
Glad you posted this. I see so many that install such setups and show nothing but nice clean cuts and everything looks perfect. But this shows there are a lot of things to setup and get working right before any of those perfect cuts begin. This is more realistic in my opinion.
Hi. I work for a company designing building and repairing large CNC Plasma Tables. First I’d like to say this is an awesome homemade table build. I noticed, in the video, it appears you guys are using lifter stall force to determine your plate height. If future upgrades are an option, I would suggest using ohmic sense. It is supported by most controllers, and natively supported by Hypertherm by simply using different consumables. It is much more accurate and provides better consumable life. Also, in the powermax manual, hypetherm provides cut charts for: arc volt values, gas pressures, material thickness, pierce height, cut speed, etc. These values aren’t perfect, but they are a great place to start from when tuning your machine. Great job guys!
I was hoping for more of the 4x4 build, I can't wait to see it up and running.
4x4 build video next Friday💪😉
@@DonnDIY это это это
@@DonnDIY Great stuff, I'll look forward to it, thanks.
Me too
Хотел уже спать лечь. А тут видосик подъехал👍👍👍
It looks like a lot of fun after the hard work of construction and fine tuning. I wouldn't be able to stop myself from continually playing...
...until you check the price of steel lately!
@@johnlockesghost5592 Yeah, no kidding! I was adding up the cost of getting the machine dialed in. Luckily, if we go this route we have plenty of off-cuts to work with.
cost of the whole machine after folding?????????
Put plasma mass cable directly to the metal sheet for more reliable result.
Add some liquid borium from an agriculture shop into the water to rise pH. It will prevent against rust.
Long journey has come to an end. Cool to see that it works as intended.
This build wasn't a typical "point and pull" where you easily pull the trigger b/c you knew what to expect. This build was like the others in many respects, but it seems the "tech" aspect was somewhat new. Like you said "I learned a lot..." which is a good thing; especially regarding technology which drives much of what you'll build. Great series Donn. God bless.
Plasma tables are game changers for fabricators. Your work efficiency will quadruple.
It's nice to see machines built on Polish components. I myself am in the process of building a plasma table based on the MyPlasmCNC controller by Proma Elektronika.
Здравствуйте, много лет работаю на станках плазменной и лазерной резки, поэтому не могу удержаться от нескольких комментариев:
Для 2D проектирования лучше всего подходит программа Компас, очень простая и гибкая
Для управления попробуйте поработать в Mach 3 увидите насколько он проще и удобнее именно для работы
Купите на барахолке сенсорный монитор - будете экономить кучу времени, плюс несравнимое удобство в работе
На али за копейки можно найти и прикрутить в Mach 3 любой блютуз пульт хоть джойстик для удаленного управления и позиционирования резака
Сделайте вытяжку от резака, иначе через полгода-год закоптите все помещение рыжей гарью
На ночь стол лучше закрывать герметичным экраном или каким по паронепроницаемым чехлом иначе влажность убьет все помещение, листы не помогут
На сам носик резака лучше изготовить дистанционную корону с шариками а подвес сделать плавающим - это убережет плазмотрон в внештатных ситуациях и поможет идеально выдерживать зазор даже на неровных листах
Для Гипертерма есть недорогие расходники Технокат ну и Али может помочь
А так все супер! подобный стол в своей мастерской достраиваю, сухой, 2500*1250 под более распространенный размер листа
How about a build along project for things like this complete with buying lists & links to part suppliers so subscribers can mirror your project step by step & make the same system for themselves?
I would like to know that myself a list of parts and where you got them and if possible how you put it together
Waiting to see the hand held firewood basket... 21:55 YESS! Great video, Donn, super impressed how it's turned out and what you'll be able to do with it.
You have come a long way from your angle grinder and stick welder days. Nice to see you getting a fully equipped workshop, although there is always one more tool to get.
This was the only reason I went with a Langmuir, I really didn’t want to trouble shoot with a table. I felt the extra $1000 was worth my sanity lol
играть можно бесконечно со станком )) такие классные вещи можно им делать
Nice to see the trials and errors you had to go through. Looked smooth as silk in the end.
Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
This CNC turned out , just fabulous !
Perfect tool for perfect job
About that power source, remove the cover (if you don't care about the warranty on it...) and take the 12v fan off the power rail it uses, and put it on the 12v line it outputs, so it runs when the power source is open. That design (at least 3 different boards so far) always seem to fail after a while, and the fan doesn't work anymore. Because it doesn't always start with the source (it uses a thermometer inside), it's difficult to figure out when it's supposed to work or not.
Just my 2 cents, it is after all a fire hazard, since the power source can catch on fire, as a result of that. I never swapped my fans, they were decent enough, but other people also change the fans for more high flow units.
Source four 3D printers and a few other installations using that type of power source, in both 12v and 24v flavor.
It's a simple modification to make, so i think it's worth the effort.
That's really awesome, I'll have to go chec out the rest of the build, thanks Donn.
I like these E stop mounted in the desk👍
Thanks for sharing with us Donn, your creativity is awesome. This was great. Fred. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
WELL DONE I need one of those .
Amazing, as always! Greetings from Spain.
Make sure that the steel plate does not flex when the torch touches. If it flex you will have misfire or wrong distance. Another tip. As the electrode/nozzle gets older you might need to raise the volts a bit to maintain full THC function. The ground is also very critical for the THC function. Ground to the plate if possible.
Thanks for the info!
Clever....very Impressive....
I"M JEALOUS !!!! A Game changer indeed.... Can't wait to see your imagination come to life with this awesome machine .....
Great job!
Nice to see parts from my county in your plasma router :D
Proma thc is nice feutere :D
Nice bro👍
Да, аппарат шикарный. Инструмент. Когда отстроенный здорово экономит время.
It feels good when you make something for yr self instead of been a consumer it is very good to be a builder I want one myself
The sky is the limit now, Donny Dee!!!
Отличный проект получился! Жаль только английский язык в школе не учил👍👍👍
exelent ,thank my friend
Awesome! Had to take great patience getting it all set up.
Great work young man, you are a superstar.
Over the top as always
And you’d think that a 3 axis CNC machine would be easy to make. My first machine was a plasma table, I feel your pain. The building of the mechanics is pretty straight forward, it’s another world to get it to be running. I would have built a router/mill first had I know lol. Excellent work!
Новый уровень 👍👍👍😉✌
Incredable machine and operator thanks for sharing.
Yuooo D !.. what's sapiens BROO !!.. nais to have you bag BROO !!.. you are the best See !. Thank-you!. Sal.from New York!.
little tip, add in curve in to the beginning and curve out to the end of pockets and arcs, noticed the flat spot on the doughnut you cut from the 12mm plate. the curve in and curve out prevent overlapping the code and cut areas so the circle wouldn't have had the flat spot on the outer perimeter and it moves pierce locations away from feature lines so you don't happen to blow through the edge of a shape in a thin sign or body panel
Truely a DIY project - kudos!
Excellent video, Homemade CNC Plasma FINISHED! Ep.4, respect from Venezuela💯👍🤘
Oh how I’d love to have a CNC machine like that! You’re a lucky boy Donn.
Having your own CNC would be so amazing. EASY money maker.
Hello! Just a tip from company who work dily with sheet and pipe cutting with plasma. - don't place a starting and finish points close to finish part but in a scrap part - like a 5-10mm from cutting line
Get work Donn. Glad to see you have it finished. You will surely get a lot of use from it. Of course, we will all expect more great stuff from you now. Good luck.!
awesome build, you have a talent that is worth much more than most people can imagine, thanks for sharing
Now build a cnc press brake and your shop will be next level. Actually there's some nice cheaper horizontal press brakes that are quite versatile. But can only bend 12 inch lengths.
Pretty good DONN !
Now the table is working it means you can do more projects more often to keep us entertained!
Love ya work.
Cheers from Sydney Australia MATE. 🇦🇺🦘🐨🍺🍺🍺🐨🦘🇦🇺
Если серьезно, крутой проект! Дальнейших успехов 👋
well done !!!!!
The perforated folding lines starting at 19:22 are amazing. Thanks for your excellent work! You should consider devoting a whole video to the nuances of those perforated folds: "CNC Plasma Origami" You're welcome. :-)
Молодец отличный станок получился 👍
Cool project
That is a very nice plasma CNC table👍
A real twin at work with good luck
It's a great build. Very nice.
Absolutely amazing. Great job.
You are on another level. You are inventor engineer. Good job
Thanks!
That's a tool that will make life so less complicated time and wasted material wise, good for you Donn, good decision, NOW BACK TO WORK....lol....many thumbs up !!
Вот это сейчас уровень проектов вверх шагнёт. Было круто, а сейчас заводского уровня будет.
Nice to see Plasma been built and FINALIZED ;) - Our project with my brother has seized for lack of time&motivation I quess... I quess we even have all needed parts even and the table has been used as milling table already so those axis are functioning. Plasma conversion takes just too effort compared to everything else. But someday ;) Nice video of trial and error!!!
Great video
Good job.
Outstanding work
Good job
i didn't know freecad... thanks Donn!!! i needed a cad software for my new cnc, subscribed!
Good luck Bro
Very nice .
loved the video, loved the results, thanks for sharing.
Aawh! I need that AAG (automatic angle grinder) too! It makes your work so much easier and so many new opportunities. Great work! Cheers!😜
Hooray!
There’s nothing like a plasma table for the type of fabrication you do. You are only limited by your own imagination. 👍
I am happy for you
Well done. Nice and tidy👏👏👏👏
Espectacular, congratulations...
DonnyDıy, gücüne güç sağlayacak yeni makinen için seni tebrik ederim. İyi çalışmalar dilerim.
Really interesting! Thank you.
Nice machine bro!
Endlich richtige Brennholzhalter. Nice work :-)
Outstanding! 👍
Top!!
Great job! Bravo!
Congratz on successfully completing this complicated project, Iron man!
Image the tools you will have ten years from now,, looking back ten years.
Donn, no experience of cnc plasma, but years with running 3 cnc stone saws in business. I assume the plasma cuts into the support bars and over a period of time this will cause issues of lack of support and accuracy. Rather than replacing supports it may be worth rebuilding on a regular basis so they don't need to be replaced.
In my case the support "BOARDS " were continually cut in similar positions, which when run all day every day when cutting deeper material grossly affects accuracy as the material being cut partially deforms to follow the table, I rebuilt the "boards" once a week which took minutes, ( it does not have to be super accurate, just rebuilding close to but not grossly over the top of the table surface,) as opposed to in our case many hours to cnc plane the entire table surface until such time as "boards " were too thin and we had to remove and replace then cnc plane the entire surface. In your case relatively low volume it will take some time to be an issue, but probably less time and cost to throw a little weld than replace with new support straps.
Great to see it finished, the benefit, while already huge, is probably as yet largely untapped.
Toying with doing something similar personally great inspiration
Wow you've said it amazingly you made it, thanks bro for this owesone episode.
Well done job!
Great results like 👍 it
Definitely a great tool to have. It cuts faster than I thought it might when you were showing the real time speed. Looks like you could go into business making signs for people too if you wanted to. Anyway, congrats on getting the CNC plasma cutter done.
Great machine!
Seems to be so easy to make it work, just design the part and hand it over to the cutter, but the way there must have been nervewrecking...
Love the idea of the bending cuts, could be welded after bending and give all the strength back, nice!
Thx for the vid!
:-D
I've been wondering what happen to this marvelous machine. Glad to see it works and I'm sure you will perfect it's operation! Happy fabbing!
Salve para o Brasil
Your value as a neighbour just rose 😄 Awesome project anyway!
🤣
