Which is more important?
Both of them would be a modification to the 4 x 4 table, and both of them would provide a way to do pipe cutting without Mash pipe cutter attachment or Software upgrade..
I cannot decide which way to go. On one hand, providing a way to raise and lower the rate to give you more Gantry clearance at any time is a valuable modification to the Plasmacam tables. On the other hand, converting your table to a 4 x 8 with extended rails that allows pipe cutting off of the end of the table Seems to be an awesome modification.
Tell me which one you would prefer to see developed first. I will be returning from my auction runs soon and after going up to Wisconsin for a powder coat oven, I will be back at home and begin to work on all of these looming projects.

Re: Grate Elevator or 4x8 Conversion?
I would think the 4x8 conversion would be more beneficial and a more popular upgrade to most pcam users. The 4x4 table size I always thought was a little limiting and the 5x10 is bigger than most people need.

Not too many Plasmacam owners here at this forum. A better place to share any of this documentation might be at one of the Plasmacam Facebook groups where the membership is pretty much exclusively made up of actual Plasmacam table owners and others looking to learn more about Plasmacam tables and possibly purchase one.
