Post by Triple S »

Well I’m a little late her as I’ve already posted a couple of threads but here I go I have 32 r years in fab and welding but never owned a plasma table but I’m interested in building my own and buying one has never crossed my mind . I want to build a very nice quality table and have seen a lot of good info here,so thanks to all that make this site happen as I’m sure there’s a lot involved

Welcome aboard Triple S as stated many DIY types here, I have built 9 table from scratch. Happy to help getting you setup, big plus for your Fab business. Many suppliers for the electronics, you can spend as much as you want, or keep things on a reasonable level. Much depends of the software being used for the table controller, and communications with the computer. You can use the search function on the upper right to look there are a few builds posted showing what they did.
Have fun
