Honestly, at this point, I’m starting to feel like I can’t recommend this table. I’ve had nothing but trouble, and only very minimal success. It seems like the people who have success are either extremely lucky, or they go to great lengths to figure out the idiosyncrasies of the platform. I’ve been told I’m wrong about this, and that CNC platforms are all plagued by these issues, even at 10x the investment, and that the Langmuir machine is just a great value for the money, no matter how you slice it, but I’m about $5,000 in at this point, and I’ve cut a couple of cool things out, but I’ve also currently got a broken machine, ruined $100’s of dollars in material and spent days upon days just trying to make it work, and I’m 0 for 3 on recent attempts to get Langmuir to respond to my requests for service. I’ll come back to this comment if I get some resolution to the issues I’m having, but at this point, I’d feel guilty if someone bought a Langmuir Systems Table because my channel made it seem like more than it is. I’m even sitting on my next video, because I don’t want to showcase what this table CAN do, because of all that’s gone wrong in between the successful cuts, that I can’t really show. Anyway, thank you for watching my videos. That means a lot to me.

I really hope you can figure things out on your machine as you can build lots of cool stuff. Talking about materials I am 100% out of sheet metal and scrap. If I get a table I want to do 1/8" thick signs to weld on ranch entrances here in South Texas. I am more of a Hobby person so if I get a table I hope I can generate some money back.

Thank you, @@cutweldngrind. My hesitation to recommend them comes from the fact that, if I had to guess, I’d put the number of people who have issues at probably close to half, and lately I’ve been feeling like their customer service has been slow to help. You hear great things about that part, but my experience so far has been that it’s mediocre at best. I actually got a call from them today, and while it was largely unhelpful, at least I’m moving in the right direction, again. It still remains to be seen if they’ll warranty out the parts I need to get my table back up and running, but it sounds like they’re going to. There’s a knowledgeable online community that’s pretty helpful if you have the right attitude, but you’re largely on your own, and CNC Plasma isn’t “easy”. I guess if you go into it with that understanding, it’s probably still a pretty good value. Oh, but if I had to do it over again, I’d go right for the Hypertherm. It adds about $2,000 to the price tag, over a cheaper Plasma, but the people who buy the Hypertherm aren’t the ones having problems. Just my $0.02. Good luck in whatever you decide, and feel free to bug me if you get stuck. I’m quickly learning a lot about this stuff.

@@crazycaseyscustoms Thanks for all the information. I have a Hypertherm Powermax 45 in the shed as well but stopped using it as it cost me a mini fortune. I also have a Primeweld Cut60 and a Yeswelder that I like to use out in the elements or dusty environments. The Hypertherm seems to get better life on consumables for sure put replacement torches are pricey as well. I tried doing comparisons on the Crossfire with XL kit to the Pro again but cant decide which to get and if I SHOULD BUY LOL. Anyways I subscribed to you so will see what the next video shows.

Are you saying you don’t use the Hypertherm because it’s an expensive unit and you don’t want to damage it or wear it out, @@cutweldngrind? I’m pretty sure that’s the unit Langmuir recommends on their machines as the premium option, and if you go with Hypertherm’s machine torch, you’ve basically got the best possible setup. My issues have basically been three-fold. One, I had a huge learning curve, because of no prior experience, and the fact that Langmuir doesn’t really give you a full set of instructions for how to actually run a CNC plasma (not necessarily their fault). Two, I had a defective Primeweld Cut60 that had me chasing my tail a bit on early cuts, and not being able to “learn” from my adjustments because the machine wasn’t doing what it’s supposed to. And three, apparently, EMI is causing issues that at first I wasn’t even really aware of, further throwing things off and creating more variables than I could even keep up with. So, with all of that said, Hypertherm’s cut charts include nominal cut voltage settings that can be set into the machine, and they take virtually all of the guesswork out of the setup part of the learning curve (which is really the biggest hurdle). And, Hypertherm’s are supposedly better shielded than your average “cheap” plasma, and *may* help you avoid a lot of the EMI issues that plague many CNC plasma users. To update you on my beef with Langmuir; they stepped up and took care of me, and I’ve actually been pretty impressed with their customer service efforts, of late. The failure to return my emails previously may have just been a fluke, or a technology failure. I feel like I can confidently endorse their product again, AND, I feel like if you set your machine up with the Hypertherm plasma, you’ll avoid a lot of the issues that have made my experience so trying.

Casey, who did you take the 30day design course with? What software is it based off of? I am in the beginning stages of getting myself into all of this and would like to start learning the CAD software. Although, I have used Solidworks for about a year back in 2015-2016.

Would you say that the plasma cutter and compressor can affect your cuts, I have inconsistent cuts with this same machine, what equipment are you using?

@crazycaseyscustoms

11 ай бұрын

Yes, I would say so. You should get on the Langmuir forum, because there is a TON of great information over there. I am currently using a 60 gallon Devilbiss compressor with a four stage air dryer, and an Everlast 62i plasma. Cut settings on your plasma are critical, and if you buy anything but a Hypertherm, you’re going to have to do a fair amount of work to get those all dialed in for each material type/thickness you cut. Hope that’s helpful.

Did the table come with the wire thing that you had to solder to the primeweld to get it to work with the control box? Looking at getting one of these tables, but If I can find a better cutter for a lower price will go with that. just don't want to have to spend a lot of time with a bunch of adapters etc. to get it to work.

The Prime Weld came with that plug, but I do believe that it was at least partially responsible for my issues with the Langmuir table. It’s recommended by the forum to wire the Prime Weld machine to internal plasma voltage, bypassing the CNC port entirely…or depending on who you talk to, not using the Prime Weld machine at all. The Everlast plasma’s are also incompatible with the Langmuir CNC port. The only plasma’s that I am aware of that have plug and play harnesses available are the Razor Weld and the Hypertherm.

I’m trying to develop my own. Langmuir says not to run over 45 Amps on their table without extra insulation, so I’m trying to (like Hypertherm) build a 45A cut chart, only varying the speed. The added benefit being that you can stock only one tip size, too. 😊

Steven, I’ve had a Primeweld Cut 60, and now an Everlast Powerplasma 62i. The Primeweld has the potential to be a good machine, but I think they have some quality control issues. The Everlast cuts really nice. I’d really like to try a Hypertherm, and might switch to one of those eventually, but they’re really pricey. Be careful of the silicone boot; they can catch fire. I actually fold it up, and it just acts as a shield (not a cone). I also have a 3D printed shield that covers the Z-axis parts. One of these days I’ll make another video. Sorry I’ve been lagging on the channel. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. Cheers, Casey
