Homemade Plasma Circle Cutter Guide

Showing how I made a custom plasma circle cutter guide. It has ball bearing rollers, adjustable torch height above the workpiece, and works with both magnetic and non-magnetic metals. The torch I'm using is an ICE 27 plasma torch for my 10+ year old Miller 375 Cut Mate. But the design should be able to be modified to work with many other popular plasma torch heads.

The places where it skipped, we call those safeties keeps the part from falling on your toes and keeps you from feeling bad about the inconsistent travel speed. great job on the guide.

This is really well built. i just use a piece of flatbar with a bolt for a handle and drill a hole at the diameter I want that fits the torch nozzle tightly then jam it in there lmao.

Best one I've seen yet, only thing I hate drilling holes in the piece I want, so magnetic is the way to go, seen some with a bearing in the torch head, but wonder how they hold the torch head in it, probably just a loose fit like yours. Have to get the lathe and mill fired up. Thanks for a great video and all your work of putting it together. 👍👍👍👍

Nice job, Maybe a smaller magnet?

[@plunger110]

You should patent that! Nice job!, might need to tap a hole between the inner edge of the magnet and the center to thread a screw in to help break the magnetic bond. haha

[@tomsgarage6264]

Thanks. Yeah, good idea. On sheet metal it's easy to get the big magnet off. But on thick steel the grip is super strong.
