Re: newb
Welcome aboard, it will get a big help with you fab work. I have cut many parts for new tools and other projects, fun stuff. Custom part not a problem now.
I cut all the custom parts for the 9 CNC tables I built, many handy projects posted here. You can use the search function in the upper right to look around.

Re: newb
Welcome to the forum! Lots to learn here, and plenty of ideas for projects as well as cut files. There have been many mixed emotions with regard to the new Hypertherm sync models with the replaceable cartridges. I will look forward to hearing your review once you get yours up and cutting. My understanding is that they will start shipping in around 2-3 months from now,but meanwhile you can get your table setup and running and maybe use a sharpie pen holder in place of the torch to do some actual practice files to get the feel for your new table and software. What cad/cam software comes with the Shopsabre tables?Carypipes wrote: Sun Dec 26, 2021 12:00 pm new guy from mo. i just ordered a shopsabre with a 65 sync.looking for any knowledge i can gather. i have a background in auto body painting and

Re: newb
Tom - that is an impressive array of fixturing clamps you have there! With that table top, you've got a very nice setup for holding/fixturing up your projects for welding.acourtjester wrote: Sun Dec 26, 2021 5:24 pm Welcome aboard, it will get a big help with you fab work.

Re: newb
Carypipes you can use the search function to see the post of pen holder shown being used by members to be used as David points out.
Thanks David, as stated things like that just expands the fun of CNC tables. I'm sure many member have their own projects which fill the neesh. The advantage of thinking I need "A" and drawing it up and making it.
Here is a different set of low-profile clamps I cut and assembled for the CNC router option on my table.
