Hi Lee

Cheers for the reply.

I'm quite sure building the structure would be quite easy for me as I'm lucky enough to have access to all the machines to make that part of the job simple. As for something you've not seen before, well we'll see! My biggest learning curve will be the mechanics to run the axis drive and the electronics to make it work. And then there's the software to learn and how to set the machine. Zeroing etc.

I think I'll spend some time reading others build logs. Maybe I'll start to draw something in inventor. Many of you seem to use solidworks or sketch up. They are not my thing. Auto desk inventor is my design suite so hopefully that will do.


Thanks for the words of support.

Cool, it's all fairly straightforward stuff and you should be able to find everything you need around the forums, again the same re software really, unfortunately? it's "homework" time at this point.

Sounds like a plan, we have got a section here: Plasma Table Machine Building for the more relevant stuff, though you will need to explore for the more specific stuff. ADI should be more than enough.

No problem, wish you the best of luck and look forward to seeing your progress !
