@@joshchamberlain9413 I was shocked at the cut quality. It may not last as long as a High end plasma cutter, but you can buy 10 for the same price. Thanks for the feedback.
Haven't watched the video yet, but I wanted to ask where you purchase your steel from! I have a 1.75" OD bumper I want to build but finding out that DOM is EXPENSIVE!
@@westleyworley1731 In Colorado I use Western Steel or Reliance. I get DOM from Reliance for a better price. DOM is crazy expensive. You can probably use welded seam for a bumper. I normally only use DOM for the roll cage to comply with race regulations.
@ntdracing That was going to be my next question! I was hoping I could get away with welded. My bender will do .120 wall, but I think it's more cost effective for .095. What are your thoughts on the rigidity between the two?
@ depends on design. If you design in triangles where you are putting loads into compression or tension, it will be strong. If you are relying on resistance to bending, it will not.
Great video. Can tell you you were impressed by that plasma cutter.
The best explanation I heard about the THC, thank you
I just got the same bestarc for my cnc table. Using it on my crossfire pro and an arcdroid with great results.

A plasma table is on my wishlist.
@@mattvelardes8072 worth the investment.

@@westleyworley1731 when in doubt…make a triangle.
