Making Plasma Cutting Machine
Track makes cutting metal very easy is accurate and fast. The machine is equipped with two strong electromagnets so that the cut piece is stable and does not move during cutting. I used an old screwdriver 12v I found on the scrap metal. To power the screwdriver and electromagnets I used a 12v 16A dual channel power supply, and a speed controller to control the screwdriver's rotation. Thanks to the adjustable length, we can adjust the machine's distance to the size of the piece to be cut.

And once again I have been proven Wrong!! There is professional, intelligent people still living on this earth. Thank you great build! From start to the finish product! Cheers! Jp
Excellent use of an old drill. I really like the final result. It seems better than by hand. But, I do a fairly good job with a foot to hold the correct height and a straight edge to follow.
Wow you weren't kidding. Very impressive use of scrap metal and old cordless drill
Excellent build Sir. I love the way your mind works. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I spent the whole video wondering when he was going to start making the y-axis. Then realised... oh. Very nice build all the same. I especially liked the electromagnet clamps.
"Anyone can make something with GOOD equipment", I recall a machine shop foreman saying in response to complaints about dull end mills and worn out Bridgeports. But, it takes someone truly resourceful to make something like this with drill presses and grinders. Really nicely done! Subscribed.

A lead screw and bar stock, not really that hard to make. But for what it does, it's overly complex, and will just be far more hassle trying to control your level of dross with a potentiometer. The the actual setting it up. You're better off just using a simple guide. I think everyone else watching figured he was working on an x axis gantry setup, for as much as he put into this.

Congrates on putting all that in on under 20 minites! All it needs now is a bungy hung from the ceiling to hold the plasma cord/hose up from work and a cut-off switch on each end to shut down feed when it reaches the ends of travel. Well done.
This is a great bit of kit! I saw this being used on one of your other projects first and thought that it was a great use of a plasma cutter. I’ve seen commercial flame cutting versions too.

All the suggestions about limit switches are completely misplaced. The clutch on the drill is fine to use as the limiting mechanism. Amazing how many bookworms completely miss the simplicity of this design. AND, he got the drill from a scrap heap. I built highly complex injection molds for most of my life, and I know when precision is required, and I know when it isn't. Nothing wrong or deficient in the design. Plasma cutting is not in any way aerospace precision.

For the future, as another two sets of these, to make X and Y and a few steppers or servos and a controller and you'll have one heck of CNC plasma cutter, ohhhh maybe adding a way to swap out the plasma cutter with a CNC rotary tool (a Dremel). Yeah, I wish I had the tools to do that lol

@MrWeelliott

I considered this too, but thought of another way of protecting it that would likely be easier: use a cordless drill with a torque setting that just slips when it hits a certain torque. Set it low since this shouldn't actually have to overcome much resistance beyond the stiffness of the Plasma cutter's cable/hose. In my admittedly biased opinion it is an elegant solution. I think this is a great video.

Damn nice job! My only observation would be to use a surplus automotive power window motor instead of cutting up a dewalt power tool. These can be found, among other places, at an outfit called "surplus center" for under $20. They call them DC wiper motors. You could wire up a simple PWM (pulse width modulation) circuit to give you full torque and infinite speed control. Once again, DAMN NICE WORK!

That's slick. I'd add some limit switches at the ends. Then you could walk off and let it run when cutting thick steel and not have to sit and watch it. Then either tap into the plasma switch circuit or add a solenoid to activate the torch head.

I see this being most useful mounted somewhere like on top of a bender. Quickly bend parts from sheet, then cut off and be ready for the next one. Or, add another axis and have a portable plasma table. As it is, it's a viable alternative to a saw for large plate, and a mighty decent way to upcycle. Kudos, my good man.

You need to fit limiter switchers through two DPDT relays so it returns to zero after each cut. A guide wheel to lift the cable at the control box would be good extra.
