In this video, I give you the EXACT business plan and steps I took to make $20,000 in three months using my Langmuir Crossfire Pro plasma table.
To download the photos I mention in the video, go to my google drive at drive.google.com/drive/folder...
I am using a Crossfire Pro with a Razorweld Razorcut 45 with a harbor freight dryer and dessicant dryer alongside an ingersol rand 80 compressor.

Sir you could charge a lot of money for the content in this video. I'm an engineer for a company that writes control systems for plasma tables. Cutting art has been a side hustle and I've spent 12 years figuring out a lot of the info you shared in this video. Hats off to you. The next door app idea is genius
Thank you, for this wonderful, informative and honest video.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you again.
I learnt a lot!!
Amaizing coverage of the Illustrator tools. Thank you for the time you took to put this together, super.
Thank you! Good luck!
Do you subscribe to illustrator?
Also you should add some ferrite chokes to your incoming and outgoing cables. The reason is that the controller box to the frame is only separated by a couple nylon washers. So you get charge buildup resulting in feedback emi induction (from the high voltage switching involved in plasma cutting) along the wires which can disrupt lock up and or crash your computer.
I will be making a table when my remodel is finished. Nextdoor app, great idea. In fact I make salted caramel and I’m going to put it on Nextdoor app and see what happens.
Don't need to apologize.. I'm here to learn.
Great video! Thanks for sharing it.
Fantastic Video !!! Very informative !! Thanks so much for sharing.
Nice video. Great explanation of your process. New subscriber!
I waited and watched the entire video then decided to subscribe. Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you!
I built the JD's garage plasma table with a plasma cutter for around $1100, i had to rebuy some components and other stuff. after a couple months of slowly building it. I finally got it running this past weekend. I bought 1 sheet of 16 gauge steel, cut it into 2'x2' squares, convenient and easy. I scrapped a quarter of the sheet yet made $260 even after keeping a sign for myself and giving some to my neighbor for cheap. He helped me a bit through the project so it was the least I could do. And now it looks like ill have my next 2 sheets sold too. Im still learning the ins and outs. got myself a .9mm tip for my YesWelder plasma which works well for me. I don't have a blast cabinet or anything. I quickly found out a knotted wire wheel cleans up dross easily. And a kids plastic 3ft pool with 3 gallons of vinegar in it takes care of the mill scale rather quickly! My cheap build will pay for itself rather quickly. having a larger 4x4 or 4x8 would make things a breeze! Its a toss up of having room to work on other stuff though so I figured the 28x30 was fine. I can always weld pieces together if needed!
I also did the JD Garage table and I doubled the length of the Y-axis so I can basically handle a 2'x4' sheet. Very happy with how its been working so far
@mattolson3129 I actually have my table for sale now and planning on a 50x50 table to use as a router table as well with ball screws and linear rails.
Awsome. I 3d print houses. Love to cut with arduino conversions.
im building one as we speak! cool to see other users in the wild
@@jensonhartmann3630 nice! I sold mine and going to a full gantry system with linear rails and ball screws. I’d like to try wood routing now. But it’ll be set up so I can go right back to cutting steel. Probably an hour or so to switch it over but I’ll have the option! My table is looking to be 1500mm X 2000mm
Great video! Great information! Thanks a million!
Your tutorial is great. Still learning on Fusion 360. I am not a computer person so it comes a little (lot) for me to learn and comprehend. Your offer is very reasonable I think and hopefully can purchase and take advantage of your work.
Thanks for sharing.
Another added time saving tip if you layer a bunch of objects you can use svg to png converter take the png file import it back and then use bit tracing and it removes all the unnecessary paths automatically. This is useful especially if you make objects created from multiple objects. Even if you unite or group (if you're using inkscape) when you drop the .dxf or .svg file into your CNC processor (I use sheetcam because it's one time not recurring licensing) you'll have the path geometry if you don't remove them.
Dude! I'm just finishing up building my machine after a lengthy design process/construction and am about to launch into business with it. This is gold, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this video, I'm not running firepro/langmur but that doesn't matter at all, the full view was what I was after and you delivered, big time. I'm a fabricator/engineer and have been hammering away at cnc for years now but plasma was always something I got someone else to do, now I'm that someone else. Cheers to you.
Ah man! You just made me tear up a bit. Thank you very much for the kind words. I wish you the best luck amd happiness in this business!
I'm not sorry that your video is long. I find nuggets of useful information that will make me successful with my new tool :-)
Hi from France !
Honestly, when I have found your video and I saw the name I said for myself "wtf, another one who want likes" but let's see what is he saying ...
After the first few minutes, I realize it deserve to look to the whole video.
Great presentation, congrats and thank you !
I am just making myself the first plasma cutting table and your video is a gold mine !
The "nextdoor" idea is really great.
Thank you once again and keep up the good work !

Glad you enjoyed it. I get some haters for the length of my videos but I just don't even see why one would bother to make a video if you aren't going to show people everything from start to finish
Thank you so much for tutorials like this, I hope you keep them coming very helpful. Do you have the link for the letter set you bought? I tried the one in description and could not find them, thanks. Not all heroes wear capes, lol
There are SO many on Etsy and they're cheap. Just go to etsy and search for monogram SVG alphabet and pick one you like :)
Very good, nice job i like it
My gift to you! I've added over 100 names to my Monogram file set AND put it on sale. The link is in the description. Good luck this holiday season, these signs WILL make you money.
great info! you forget to pin your comment so it stats up top 😉
Hi, does anyone know the name of a TH-cam video where I can learn how to set up Autodesk for my plasma cutting to have the right setup?
Just came across your channel and found it very informative and to the point. Quick question; is the $20k profit or revenue?
Good question. Thanks for asking. I'm sure others have wondered too. That is revenue.
Great video, just subscribed. Can you cut aluminium and stainless with the same setup or do you have to change something? Steve
You'll need to change your amperage and speeds but the same consumables will work
Hi,
Jusy found your web site and found a lot of great info plasma cutting and liked your idea of using Next Door which I never heard of before and I have a question on that when you signed up did you use your personal name your business name i'm going to sign up but not sure which way to go . Thanks Dean
I used my personal name
Thank You.@@TheWebbRanch
When you create a project where you are cutting on an already shaped piece of steel (like an old table saw blade) how do you start the pierce points on the inside of the letters for the lead in, order to keep the saw blade free from lead in cuts?
In sheetcam u can go into the plasma operation and adjust the contour method
Because of this video, I tried next door and have yet to get a sale. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong. I’m still not 100% familiar with the app. Any pointers would be awesome. Were you selling only monogram signs?
That's all I sold. What I did was every time I cut a sign I'd post on next door "thank you ______ for your order! It is ready for pickup!"
Crashing computers are why we Save the file OFTEN! That way you can revert to a recent version...
Good Video!
Thanks!
I have a question, how thin can one cut with one of these plasma cutters?
Meaning, wire thin, or pencil thin?
I normally cut 2mm to 6mm but i have cut 1mm once. it is all up to the machine.
I honestly wouldn’t go much thinner than 18 ga, because it gets super floppy depending on the detail the sign has. My standard is 16 ga or thicker
What do you do for a finish? I see many online shipped painted or powder coated.
I paint most but can powder coat as well. I'm also in texas where people like them unfinished so they rust
@@TheWebbRanch that's what I figured, I do powder coating and have a powder coating shop I use, but with starting a real shop now this seems like a great market to offset my plasma table cost, great video!
@@TheWebbRanch If you want a really good rusted look use toilet cleaner and wash it all off afterwards let it dry and paint it with a water sealer for bricks. It leaves you with a multi colored rust finish and years later the appearance won't change. To get the dross off the under side grinder with a stiff wire cup wheel.
Hi great video, why don't your change your measurements to inches instead of metric?
For some things it's just easier.
I brought in $20K a month, for two months, at the end of 2019. Since then, sales have been off by 80% across the board. I'm now flat broke. Next Door won't work, for me. I'm in a rural area of Montana. The closest town is 15 miles away and it only has 200 people. The next town is 50 miles away.
Yeah competing online is tough for sure now and I can totally see how nextdoor wouldn't work in rural Montana.
Would love a tutorial done in inkscape as well
I second that! 👍👍
I have moved the files to a new etsy shop at webbranchdigital.etsy.com/listing/1684808644/last-name-monograms-svgs-200-names-for
On average what kind of price are you getting per sign?
I charge what most charge. Between $0.15 and $0.25 per sq inch
How many mm have the plate that are working ?
It's 14 guage steel whatever that equates to
What is your average price point for these signs?
I usually make standard sizes (16 and 24 inches) for $40 and $60
Do make file for people ?
I can yes.
Nov 2023 and now nextdoor is saturated in my area with this stuff... :(
59:39 how to sell
What plasma cutter are you using?
Langmuir crossfire pro
@TheWebbRanch No the plasma cutting machine is what I'm asking.
@@bobreichel ahhh
I'm using the raxorweld 45
@@TheWebbRanch 👍

nice work. I wish Fusion was simply a pimped version of Tinkercad which is a masterpiece of simplicity and so friendly and commonsense. Just hate Fusion in that you can't simply click and drag...That kind of U.I is just so antiquated. How can both programs be from the same company? Anyway, whinge, whinge ;-) thanks for the great video!

making something is not difficult
the challenge is how to find customers

Too easy

It takes a lot longer than 4 minutes to cut that. Include the time it takes to find the art and turn it into the monogram stl file and the time it takes to set up everything.
Cutting with no water is going to warp the stainless pan. Heat from the torch will warp it with no water. Trust me.
When you create a project where you are cutting on an already shaped piece of steel (like an old table saw blade) how do you start the pierce points on the inside of the letters for the lead in, order to keep the saw blade free from lead in cuts?
Hello! I don't manually select contours. The easiest thing by far to do is to extrude your part first and then just click the face of the part in contour selection and it will automatically set the pierce points inside the letters assuming you've got all your point loops closed correctly.
