- 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.

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.
Excellent build Sir. I love the way your mind works. Thanks for sharing this with us.
You build such great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you 😁
Out standing! Thank you for sharing!
PARABÉNS PELO PROJETO MUITO BEM ELABORADO, CONTINUE FAZENDO EXCELENTE TRABALHO
Parabéns pelo projeto

Amazing project I'm sure you will use it well to your advantage. As always a great build . They just start flow and end up as an amazing tool
Thank you 😁
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.
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.
This is an excellent work from every point of view; Learning, understanding, ideas, what else every corner. You are an excellent planner, designer, developer. Good job my friend
Wow. That's an impressive piece of kit. !
Awesome build!!! That would definitely come in handy.
Your projects are always Inspiring. You are very talented
"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.
@@FlipLoLz For 30+ years I've used a pair of vice grips and a heavy piece of angle iron to achieve the exact same result.
And it's quicker to set up and cost free, finding an elaborate expensive way to do a simple task doesn't always pay off.
😅
Piękna robota . Gratuluje
I like the bevel cut setting. Awsome job. Watching the video was like watching a craftsman working.
Thank you 😁
This’s a tool that I need! Thanks for taking the time and great video too.
That is so nice.
I have most of the parts In my junk pile.
I'm the same way. BTW, it's not a "junk pile", it's "recyclables parts inventory"...just saying...
Extremely well made 👍🏼 just like everything you build
Thank you 😁
Amazing work, great speed, showing all the steps, many thanks.
I really liked this plasma cut tool
Awesome! I enjoyed watching that build!
The limit switches are absolutely required ! Good job !
Thank you 😁 I set the clutch in the screwdriver so that it would stop driving the screw after hitting an obstacle
I really like the magnetic base. Good build.
Thank you 😁
so much amazing craftmanship and the damn screwdriver is off and makes the whole assembly wobbly.... damnit!
Dewalt stepper is the epic ,very cool !!!
4:50 - Such a simple but ingenious idea I love it
Just amazingly something what I am thinking about to make. I am really under huge impression. Please could you a BOM with sizing, I would really love to copy your project for myself. Thanks in advance.
Wow. Your skills and shop are impressive!. Wicked cool seeing your idea come to life. Awesome job!!
Thank you 😁
Man, that´s a really cool idea!
Wow that's awesome, great job. You could add limit switches to each end that cut out that directions power feed when it hits the end and only allows going the other direction, just for a little added protection.
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.
I was like “that’s pretty cool but it’s only straight cuts” ... then he does a perfect bevel cut 🤯
lol clamp a straight edge and lean your gun to the side hahaha im still confused all this work for a straight edge cut myself.
@@StrapDLBStyle the consumables to cut through material that thick that often is why a plasma cutter is nice I would think
@@StrapDLBStyle I wonder too. I can see it being useful if you have a bunch of stuff to cut but yeah, a straight edge and a steady arm. Mind you, the fact that you can dial in the speeds means you will get a nicer cut. Cool all the same and will hang on the wall out of the way when not in use.
THAT'S alot of work for just a straight edge
Thats what I was thinking,thats alot of work for just a straight edge
The tools used are amazing, my boss, everything is sophisticated.
Wow you weren't kidding. Very impressive use of scrap metal and old cordless drill
Great build! Thanks for sharing. Could you also share some details on the electronics you used. That would be super helpful. Thanks again. Sparky
This is an outstanding tutorial! Subscribed.
Thank you 😁
Very Impressive. Great video.
great build
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it
Amazing work well done ❤️
Thank you 😁
"Залип".и смотрел как загипнотизированный!!! МАСТЕР, Вы просто молодец!!!!
Аналогично 😁👍
Next on my list to build so AWESOME!!!!
Thank you 😁
Cracking bit of work, and so useful.
Mais um projeto super legal e bem feito. Parabéns. Talvez uma melhoria que pode ser feita seria um suporte para o cabo não encostar no metal quente. Hello from Brazil
Aä😮 nii nii😮😮 on
Muito bom!!!! Mas vou fazer uma sugestão: instale interruptores de fim-de-curso no carrinho.
Cannot get any better than making your own tool. Nice!
then she said; your fired useless.
Very impressive. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. Your a pretty good welder too. Nice job fella.
Impressive demonstration
That shows very unique and capable skills. Very well done to you.
A mechanical genius what a great work thank you!
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.
EXCELENTE INCREÍBLE. Felicitaciones!!!
Simplesmente fabuloso!!!
Love the project.
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
O cara é brabo pra fazer as coisas, coisa linda de Deus as ferramentas produzidas ir ele.
Amazing job, fit a laser for easy reference 👍😉
You are certainly a match for Make it Extreme or Donn DIY. I wish you more views and subscribers. Beautiful build, again.
It's a very nice build, but I wanted to learn about making the cutter.
Next time?
I learned a lot 😀
Micro switches for end of travel would be a nice touch. Nice build!
Really creative!!..Excellent work from cheap parts too!!
Really nice Job Step by Step, good Construction. The only one thing : I would Set two switches . One on Start and one adjustable at the end to save the Cordless screwdriver for overturn.
He did explained that, no need to use those switches since he's using the clutch on the drill, that makes the machine less complicated but still can be added later if he wants.
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.
@@Vodichka9 oh man, thats right , I forgot the clutch . So simpel so easy
I love it. Everything about this is great!
Excellent engineering!!! Great video!
You are just incredible at building and incredible in your imagination ! Is this something you dreamed up and created ? Wow ! ! Really enjoyed this and this project could be utilized for other future endeavors as well. Keep up the Videos, Thanks !
When I sarted working piece of chalk and a gas ax those were the days linishing all the slag off the parts
Olá irmão vc vende esse equipamento, qual o valor dele, obrigado, ficou muito bom vc e um mestre, da engenharia.
Thank you for sharing, excellent engineering idea, very nice video thank from Uruguay, have a good day and be safe
Amazing! From Brazil.
Thank you 😁
true testament to human ingenuity!
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
Semplicemente spettacolare! Sei grande 💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
greetings, I'm from Indonesia ready to be your follower
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.
Thank you 😁
I feel like this is going to be one of my favorite channels. Kudos.
Wranglestar has some great videos
Your work is awsome. Very well planned out thanks for this. 🇨🇦
11:28 & 15:52 the absolutely *BEST* use of any dewalt tool I've ever seen! 👍👍👍
And YES, I would also definitely cover it up and hide it, wouldn't want anyone to see that thing in the shop... not joking. All opinions about dewalt aside... Your Magnetic Plasma Cutting Sled is a Very Nice addition to your shop. Well thought out and planned as always. I can see that being a Very Useful tool in many ways. 👏👏👏 If I ever get a plasma cutter, I might have to borrow your design 😁😁
Thank you :)
Super work!
Thank you 😁
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.
I was thinking how easy it would be to attach propper stepper motors and arduino board. Place the gantry on two rails for a stable Y axis and turn it into a plasma CNC cutter.
Hahaha that was my thought exactly, where them safety stops! Otherwise this is really nice. I could see it have a HUGE use in a weld school. That's literally perfect for making bar stock to weld on
.
Also adding limiter switch add more safety
A limit switch at each end of travel would prevent the drive motor from stalling out.
Great Device !!! The work of the master is excellent. Plus. Thank you. Peace to your home. I'm from Russia.
Fantastic Job !! - Well done ! 👍👍👍
Thank you 😁
Amazing build. I would add some kind of manager for the for the hose feed (what ever it is that feed to the cutting head). With your mad skills, a super simple mod.

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.
Or weld like a machine)
@@mabul513 Yep, that too....After seeing this video, I've started thinking about building something like this or along the same lines for my Alaskan Sawmill I use.
@@TheEquineFencer lucky you like my brother. Has enough space to shoot arrows down his hall. While because of him I'm in garage sized room . Strange good die arses get good stuff!
This level of fabrication is on another level! I wish that I had the know how to create things like this!
That is an amazing project, beautifully done. You ate a master prototyper and fabricater..
Excellent editing and profusely humorous fast motion oh, cool thingy you made there, also😉
Thank you 😁

Wow genius 👏. I need to get lost and make one up and get away from the wife and kids for a few days. Love the step by step tooling. Cool 😎
Thank you 😁
@@WorkshopFromScratch who's the song and artist for the music?!
Perfeito!!!!
Where did you get the shafts and blocks for your linear movement
Nice! Straight cuts and bevel cuts on flat pieces. Not a bad start.
Wow, I'm impressed 👍
Love this! Great attention to detail and assembly clearances. Still like my angle iron as a guide and 2 welding clamps.

Ññññ que no se te olvide y6y6yy
Как всегда круто... лайк.👍
Subscribed cuz of this video. This is rad.
Bravo a well exicuteded piece of workmanship very inspiring ideas keep up the videos as I will definitely be watching. Cheers
Excellent project
Thank you 😁
Great work as always but I think it's missing a couple of automat stop buttons to prevent the machine from screwing itself to death 😂😜😅
Thank you 😁 After reaching the end, the clutch in the screwdriver stops the drive, although the limit switches would be a better solution, but the clutch in the screwdriver also works :)
@@WorkshopFromScratch i Was guessing you would be using the clutch
Amazing good job you. Thank for sharing 👍👍
Thank you 😁
guys like this make it seem easy but kudos to you well done.
Brilliant repurposing of those electromagnetic door locks.
Did You What He Did To My Favorite Drill? He Innovative Mind Crossed To My Limited Brain. Lol

I also like this brand, but I got the screwdriver from scrap materials, it was not worth buying batteries and chargers separately, because a new screwdriver with a set is more profitable :) Thank you 😁
U have great imagination, skills to even make a CNC plasma cutter. Great video.. thanks for your time to do this and uploading the video for us
That's alsome, go ahead and make me one, I'll paint it. LoL.
Great job.
