Re: Hi all
Welcome aboard! I've heard some great reviews for the Langmuir tables, and I don't think you can go wrong with the Crossfire Pro. What plasma cutter are you using? And what cad/cam software? Most of the Langmuir folks use Fusion 360, and there are some great tutorials at their site.

Inkscape is another popular cad program used by many here for more artistic work. Sheetcam is used by many as well for converting dxf to gcode.
Let us know if you have specific questions or need more information about specific topics. You can also use the search tool.
You also might consider becoming a Contributing Member ($20/year) for access to all the great cut files as well as other benefits.
Good luck!

Re: Hi all
Is this going to be a home hobby table for metal art and signs, or are you planning to run a small business making widgets for the local contractors?Pictishcat wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 12:03 am Pictish cat here.

Re: Hi all
By the way, some members use Solid Edge, which is also free.
