New to group

Post by Metal Bender »

Hello,

I'm Nick 69 year old metal worker ,fabricator, mechanic fan of any thing with a motor ,wheels ,tracks, floats etc.
I have a Fast Cut CNC 4x8 Icon table . HyperthermPowermax 85 plasma cutter . Switched controller and software ,computer a couple of years ago.
Old system corroded ,and died . I live in beach environment , salt, rain ,etc. very hard on things . Switched to Flash Cut CNC controller ,software etc.
Much easier for me , I am not very good with tech stuff . I use it primarily for cutting stainless steel plate and making brackets , gates , hardware , for high end beach houses . Bend things up TIG weld . I know the machine is capable of much more , just busy and intimidated by changing setting etc.
Thinking of air scriber , easyscriber . May be make pen plotter ? Fast Cut and Flash Cut both have been very helpful and have great customer service.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice Nick

Welcome aboard
Adding the optional attachments is is a big plus, creating files for them is not a big change from plasma, just a change in the port processor area.



have fun
