You received a sub and purchase of the plans from me !! I have no immediate plans to build.... but for 25 bucks, I totally want to support fellow garage project channel and builder !!

I can't say enough good things about these plans. I always wanted a CNC plasma cutter but wanted to stay in a small budget. This was truly the best option out there. On top of that JD's Garage continues to add upgrades to the CNC table such as the pipe cutting feature and recently added the floating head for Z axis and never charge additional for the updated plans. They even started work on a THC and I am 100% in once complete. I used this plasma CNC table almost 5 or 6 days a week and just love it. I had a blast building this and JD's Garage was always there if I had questions. Thanks Guys!

Omg that CNC tube notcher is brilliant!!!

Nice work. I love the use of 3D printing, and that tube cutter is awesome !!

Just ordered the plans, everything looks great! Printing first parts as I type this, Ordering steel on Monday, can't wait!

Love it! I just ordered the plans. I'm no newbie when it comes to CNC machinery, having built CNC routers and milling machines and I knew it was time to get a CNC plasma cutter in the Wet Coast Fab shop. Rather than spending the time designing and figuring it all out, I pulled the trigger on these plans! I can't wait to start building it and putting it to good use, perhaps using the machine to cut out non-3D printer component replacements for the gantry, etc.

I am sold. Bad ass guys, very cool product you have here. Looking forward to building my own - for sure will be buying. The notching of the tubes sent me into the stratosphere

Hey thanks GOD for people like you, that makes others like myself with less money possibilities enjoy having a machine like that and be able to accomplish something they could only dream of!!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

really great work! I won't be able to build one for a while but when I do I have this bookmarked 😁

JD's plans are great! Saved me a lot of time. Cheers!

This is one of the best idea to build! Thanks for it.

Thanks for all you do and share! I'm looking forward to plans or a kit for the Torch Height Controller.

I've had my plasma cutter for sometime now and as you say it works flawlessly. And I must say your kits are of the highest quality. Thanks for the video!

What you buy for $25?

I just buy a Langmuir crossfire. And I wish could see this channel before.

I was on the fence about the plans and then.. you brought up the tube cutter. Brilliant! It's a shame it seems so hard to find CNC compatible (with voltage & arc OK output) plasma cutters in the UK at a reasonable price :( .. but the search for one continues!

you can also toss a small 3 flute side mill to finish out your pill shaped holes with the rotary on a plunge base or pin router.

Hi Jd, i just found your channel, gotta say this is awesome been wanting to put one of these together for some time now, looking forward to following your instructions on my very first one. gotta ask, do you plan on upgrading to a bigger table?

Super cool! I want to build one

Can y’all please make a video on operating it. Especially the z axis touchoff and height adjustments . I’m having trouble making it do what I need. Thanks

For anyone wondering about what the plans are like, I. Ordered and they were sent straight away. Very well detailed in clear steps. Just had the last of the electrical parts arrive. Now need th have another read of the plans and connect it together. Once I have that working I’ll order the steel tubing cut to length and all the printed parts from you.

I'm interested in seeing or hearing more about the rotary axis tube notcher.

Great home made Langmuir CNC plasma Copy 💪🏻

I decided to tackle this build - with no 3d printing experience and no CNC experience. Bought a "Longer" brand 3d printer and made all the parts. Fabricated everything else in a weekend and had it all assembled and moving smoothly. Bought all the stuff listed in the list and then tackled the electronics. If I would have read ALL the instructions - I would have not had ANY problems - but a quick email asking what I did wrong was responded to quickly and within minutes I was back on course!!! My first cuts were not so great - and it turned out I had a very thin and wavy metal that caused lack of continuity on the plasma - and would "flame out". Put a nicer (not new) piece in and it ran flawlessly. I cannot say enough good things about the effort that these gentlemen put into these plans and project. I do not yet have the z-axis but will be ordering all the parts tonight - and they have a THC amperage management in the works too! My first few test pieces were 2" square and 2" circle to see how true this was running. Dimentionally I was 2.002 x 1.987 square and 1.994 round (there was about .005 variance around the circle). I will try and recalibrate as I think I might have been off in the Y axis... I am VERY pleased! I hope they sell a LOT of plans to make their efforts worth while! Thank you!

Hello I am planning on buying the plans and 3D printed parts. My question is: Where do the electronics and wiring come from?

very nice and kind Presentation👍

I’m very interested in this, and think I’d like to do it, but was wondering if you’ve thought about how to make this scalable? In other words, can I build the small size you have plans for, then scale it up to a 4’ x 4’ or 4’ x 8’ or 5’ x 10’? Can the axis be made “modular” so you don’t have to rebuild an entirely new table for increased size? Looking forward to your response. :)

These plans seem like a very good value! I’m interested to know what kind of stepper motor controller you’re using.

very impressive job with this project, one question and maybe you made a video that I haven't found is the software for the Arduino. I am guessing its open share but do you have a video explaining how that side works?

Афигенный станок! Хочу себе такой ))

Any tips on tube cuts as far as code examples or changes needed in drawings / code for that?

Great setup🇦🇺

Would totally use this machine in my builds...

I would love to see a tutorial on how to do the pipe decorations like your JD's Garage on a pipe... Is it easy with Fusion 360?

Damn... I just designed a part to be cut from 3/16" thick plate steel. If I had access to that machine my life would be changed forever!!!!!

Outstanding!

Do you have plans just for the rotary attachment? Also do you run THC on your z axis?

Any thoughts of making it also capable of cutting square tube?

Hello, its excellent project What is tube cutting software?

Hi JD I would like to know what size box is used for the electronics also what gauge wire is used and the shielded cable and can i get them, I don" know much about electronics. Thanks much

How big a table can you build will that arm support

Couple suggestions - plans should have version/revision #'s so as you make improvements/adjustments one can clearly see what version of plans you're on. The 3d printed washers I received for the bearing blocks were too thick, impossible to get the bearings + washers into the bearing blocks as shown in the plans. I flattened one of the washers each side and that helped make the assembly possible. The tube frame bolts are about 1/2" too short. I got mine together, but it's not great with only a couple threads in the nut. Plans should spec frame bolts (2.5" and 4.5" 3/8 bolts) to be 1/2" longer.

Belt technology has come a long way in recent years. When used correctly they will last and extremely long time and can hold better accuracy than lead screws. We have had the table for just about a year and have used it in a wide variety of conditions and have not been able to measure and loss in accuracy. The life of the torch tip will make far more of a difference on accuracy than the belt wear ever will.

Your point about belts is sound, but this isnt a cnc/router machine. Belts would be a poor choice for a cnc/router machine because of the force required to push the router bit through material. In this case the belts are just used to position the "print head". Also belts are fiberglass reinforced, so they dont stretch.

@@tazanteflight8670 Alright I see, thanks a lot for that, however I have a theory, because of my obsession with CoreXY, is it doable to build a 1.6m x1.6m CNC plasma machine? Because for that I will need about 12 meters of belt. A friend of mine suggested instead of belt to use Chain, cause it's rigid and reliable and he says they last forever (sort of), now the reason behind my theory is; a CoreXY CNC plasma is 1 motor less which means reduced cost but still efficient, precisionwise it's solid, however the elephant in the workshop, is there a 12 meter+ belt in the market and when it's long does it perform the same as when it's somewhat short, in this video it's 28" X 32" which is 71.12cm x 81.28cm I want to go a bit higher than that. Sorry for long post, thank you very much

@@red_juan IMO corexy is a mistake. Using "binding force" to position a printhead, is bad science. Positioning should be as precise as possible, so dedicated, and simple X, and Y axis drive will always be more accurate. Also a long belt, or long chain will have a lot of slop. Using tensioners to reduce slop, will only stress the stepper motors. It is interesting, and neat that corexy "works", but it is not logical.
