I hope to one day contribute to the community. I purchased my first plasma cutter and and now off to build a cnc machine to accommodate itit is a Hypertherm 45xp with a cpc port and both a hand held and a machine torch.
Thank you to all for allowing me into the group.

Re: Hello from Lindstrom Minnesota
Hi, You plan to BUILD a cnc table? Why not get one that is already built? do you believe you will save money? If you have the knowledge to clump together stepper motors, and circuit boards, and wires, and sensors, etc., then go for it! I do not have that knowledge, so I am limited to the commercial offerings. I use the Samson 510 and the PlasmaCam cnc plasma tables and DesignEdge software. I know that many people have great success with the other software packages and table setups. I wish you well!

Re: Hello from Lindstrom Minnesota
Getting something already built definitely defets what I enjoy. The build has been very enjoyable for me and the knowledge obtained in the process is very rewarding. To be able to make parts and art work I also find enjoyableso. To just ave someone make those for me is not the same. Is it not about saving money. I will save money, fgured about 2-4k less than the purchase of used or a new equivalent unit. But the saving money is not what it is about for me. I am obtaining more knowledge everyday day of this build and look forward to the items it will produce. In the end It would be more economical to just spend time and resources on marketing someone else's product.. However that is not my goal. If my hobby provides any income, that is an added bonus for me.

Re: Hello from Lindstrom Minnesota
Welcome from across the River in Wisconsin. I think Bulltear/Starlab CNC is over by Lindstrom aren’t they?
I think I'm the oldest 10 year old boy on the forum...
