Hi Damian,

Welcome to the forum!

I won’t get into the pricing of commercial machines today but will say that, the great thing about a plasma based machine (and others) is that the physical/mechanical requirements of the machine isn't really that great in comparison to other types of machine.

I think you probably already know that, but generally the construction of such a machine is pretty straightforward and given the type of business you are in, would find the building of your own machine relatively familiar. Confidence?, meh ! Sounds like you've got enough to get it done, what I’m wondering is if we will see from you a design that makes use of your current tool/skill set and leads to something new/creative via the tube bending that you do, that we haven't seen before?
