New Build-12x6ft Plasma Table

[Robin Hewitt]

so whats my next step start drawing? or what do I need to do?

I think that first you have to understand the problem

Your problem is the change of direction on thin sheet and is all to do with accelerations.

For a first machine you will probably build your gantry out of 75x75x5 and fit enormously powerful motors to overcome the inertia. Strangely you might use the same motor for the Z as you do for the other axes. You might even use 2 motors for the long axis and try to connect them electrically

1 Newton force will accelerate 1 kg mass at 1 m/s/s
