This will be the newest addition to the Metal Fabrication shop here at ManCrafting. I'm still waiting on mine, but I found out that one of the Langmuir Personal CNC Plasma Tables went to a customer just a short drive from me,. I contacted Travis and was able to go see the same set up that I'll have in a few short weeks. In this video we talk about the process of creating a file for cutting out parts. Sending the File and finally cutting the file. You get to see the CNC software as Travis works though the process. This video was filmed about 3 weeks ago, and do to my MAC locking up since I never have moved my files to an external drive, I couldn't do anything on it. That done, I'm ready to roll. I would like to mention that Andy the other half of ManCrafting happens to be a Gwinnett County Police Officer. Yesterday afternoon as I was finishing this edit, we found out that an officer in his precinct was shot and killed as he approached a suspicious vehicle. This happened less than a mile from my business and about 2 1/2 miles from my home. My condolences to all of the officers at GCPD many of which are personal friends. The officer Antwan Toney will be missed. Stay safe Officers.

I’m really interested in trying this thing out, seems like a cool system!
Crafted Workshop it’s pretty amazing Johnny. How things going?
EXCELLENT presentation for those of us considering.
GREAT job!
Thank you.
Thanks. Make sure to check out my video on the Pro. I upgraded when they first came out and really love it.
Ohhhh that’ll be fun to play with! 😍 Excellent information brother! 👊
I can't wait. I have to wait, but I don't want to. ;-)
My Thoughts (and I'd hope they'd carry weight):
1) That arrow thing is stupid and likely to lead to mistakes on small parts, color coding is much better (it may do that, I didn't see it)
2) Don't trust the "nozzle diameter" given, do tests on kerf widths, they will be different at different speeds and on smaller parts they're wider.
3) Smoothing makes G code files larger as it is describing a curve via a lot of little lines, the cut speed itself will hardly be affected
4) Lead ins and outs need to be experimented with, different machines like rounded lead ins, some like perpendicular lead ins
5) when doing no offset cuts, make your dwell/pierce time as low as you can get away with on your machine. the pierce will create a larger hole at the start if left too long.
6) You should be able to manually set your lead in position to deal with small parts
7) using the tab functionality in mach 3 you can do manual cuts if you turn down the speed and manually fire the torch. Good for cutting material down, doing straight lines, or removing scrap.
8) I cut most sheets at around .028 height offset, but I use drag tips so it doesn't matter if I contact the material for whatever reason.
9) his consumables look worn down, that's a common cause of the excessive sparks and dross on the top of the sheet.
10) run your water right up to the bottom of the sheet, I have a 1/8" air gap, helps to cool thinner parts.
11) it is hard to make filming a CNC table interesting
12) that one sided arm makes me nervous, but I'm not totally against it, just looks like a major source of wobble at higher speeds.
12) Have fun
42Fab - Metal Fabrication & Signage that’s a bunch of information. Very well thought out comment. I really appreciate it and hopefully it will be here before you get back in November. 👊🏼
thanks for your time and knowledge, just ordered our unit 2 weeks ago and you have me ready to get at it...
Good video Chad, very informational. I'm probably a week away from pulling the trigger and placing an order. I'll be sure to use Mancrafting code :)
Awesome Doug. I can’t imagine the cool stuff you’ll be doing with it. Looking forward to seeing what you do.
What a great machine and it's fantastic to have someone sit with you and show you all the little things to look for. We have a small CNC that we hardly ever use because we can't figure out the software. Thanks for reposting this one, I guess you figured out that we couldn't hear the first one.👍
Which CNC do you have and what software are you using? This is my 3rd CNC tool. Once you start figuring it out they are amazing tools. I wouldn't say for the one off project, but if you want to make 20 or 30 of something, or if it's a project you just can't make any other way. It would be tough to accurately cut this sign in steel by hand.
We have the CNC Piranha Fx by New Wave Automation and are using the VCarve software. It's our first time using the software and we really don't know how to navigate the through it.
I don’t have V-Carve, but I don’t think it’s much different than Aspire which i do have, and is made by the same company. Check Javi’s Woodshop he does some training on using V-Carve.
Thanks Chad, we'll definitely check him out.
Wow much better on your audio I can hear it great my hearing is not as good as they used to be but this I hear real great thanks for putting a better product out now to go back to finish watching the video and again thank you
Thanks. I just finished listening to your most recent video. I think your are on the right track identifying food as an issue. I have a few blogs on here where I talk about the wheat free life. I just finally got back to that, and I am down from 205 to 175 since June. It will change your life.
Good info... Learning what I can before I purchase
Charles Norris awesome. Don’t forget to use MANCRAFTING to save $100
Now I think I need one!!
I'd love to see what you do with metal. Might be something to consider James. I'll bet you would love it.
Great video, thank you for posting.
SquirrelsForAll thanks for watching. If this is something you decide to buy I have a discount code for $100 off. Just use MANCRAFTING.
Great video and share, and thank you for the discount, just used the discount code last night, looking forward to receiving my table✌🏻✌🏻
Dude that’s awesome! Can’t wait to see what you do with it. What’s the current delivery time? I remember last year when they started it was brutal having to wait on it to show up. I think they actually have inventory ready to ship now.
ManCraftingTM I received the processing confirmation and UPS tracking number, looks to be processing but moving forward!!!😎😎I’ll keep you posted!
Thank you again✌🏻✌🏻
Just received the table today!!!! Start setting up early next week!!!:)
JC Miller CrossedBlessedOutdoors congrats!
Thank you......
again, appreciate your video share and the discount!!✌🏻✌🏻
Small correction, smoothing actually makes the code SHORTER by replacing a bunch of small line segments with single arcs. If your machine runs fine without it, fine. If you notice the torch movement seeming stutter-y then enable smoothing and give it a shot.
At my school we had to turn smoothing on as often as possible because our machines had small block look ahead, meaning they could only look at like 50 lines ahead of the current line. When cutting parts like the one in the video that could be an issue because the process of converting from image to vector for import to CAD typically turns the lines into a million tiny lines or splines instead of actual arcs.
Tim Wolf what school did you go to?
Great I'll look for it... thanks

ManCraftingTM Hi, great video. Would you ship to South Africa?
This is a great deal. $1500 to add this to my everlast powerplasma cutter is a steal.
Don’t forget to use discount MANCRAFTING for $100. Just got better!
Awesome piece of machinery would love to have one of those.
Chris' Workshop I hope your able to get one at some point. I think it will allow me to make some amazing things.

Great video! Just got mine a few days ago. BTW, on the smoothing checkbox, that often confuses people. Checking the box will actually reduce the size of your G-code by reducing the points it has to calculate, and will make the machine travel more smoothly by reducing the times the head has to accelerate/decelerate. For example, it might try to substitute an arc for a highly faceted side, if it can within the tolerances specified. Because the plasma keeps firing at the same amps whether it is traveling or stopped, fewer stops/slow-downs mean more consistent parts due to more consistent curf width, and a smaller heat affected zone. Thanks for filming this, I'd love to see more. Ciao, Marco.
Crivo152 thanks Marco! Great info. Thanks for adding to the conversation.
My pleasure Chad. Love your channel.
Thanks. Can't wait to see what you do with yours. I'm setting mine up tomorrow hopefully. I want to powdercoat the water table so I may or may not have it running. We will see.
Well, I had this idea I could save some time making the new instrument panel for my airplane. Last one I did took five days and five setups to cut on with my mini-mill. th-cam.com/video/pgZZJIK2QrU/w-d-xo.html I did three versions of it, and I wanted to do the 4th one with less pain, plus I figured it would come useful in a ton of other projects. I'm still not sure if I will be able to cut the screw holes due to their tiny size, but as long as I can mark them, I can go back to it later with a drill and still be faster than with the mini-mill.
Crivo152 which kit are you building. I watched one of my customers build a Lance Air. It turned out amazing.
Looks like a fun new toy to play with
Harneal Media definitely. Also a great fabrication tool. I’m pretty excited about the possibilities.
This looks amazing and affordable
It really is. I upgraded to the pro and it’s even more amazing. If you can afford the upgrade consider it.
Looks like a great machine.
Thanks Brian. I’m pretty excited. Just waiting for fulfillment at this point.
I think I need to build one, but a torch height controller would do wonders for the cut quality.
Wannabe Maker I think that some people have actually made modifications to include that.
Im sold , thank you so much !

Thanks for posting this video! I just got my plasma table this week, I got it running on the break in program, but I’m having trouble in the Fusion 360 post process in your video it’s 10:53 I have tried to download the Langmuir post file and follow there videos on installing it but when I go to windows drive C in the user folder the Langmuir system folder is not there to install the download into? If you have any info on what I need to do I would really appreciate any info on this. Thanks Michael
Mike festiva make sure when you download the file that you are choosing the destination location. It may just be going to your download folder. If so you can copy the file and paste it in the correct folder.
ManCraftingTM thanks for the reply! I will try that today, I was trying to do it the way the tutorial videos show but without the Langmuir folder I could not move on to the next step. I will try and download it to the final destination folder. Thanks 🙂
Thanks! Very Informative
Thanks. Glad you liked it. If you decide to get one be sure to use my discount code MANCRAFTING.

I ordered mine 3 weeks ago just waiting to get text that it's on it way got so many thing I plan to do with it
UtterLess Cow it’s got to be getting close now. I’m with you. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Like what
Nice small unit.
Randy Richard In The Shop thanks Randy. Until I move and build a larger shop this is about all I’d have room for. I think it will fill my current needs.
Still pulling everything together, Started from scratch . Started with Table, water table, laptop stand.
It takes a bit to get to the point you are actually cutting, but once you start, it's not too hard to keep making more items. I'm really happy.
Very informative. Thank you. This is the kind of video I’ve been looking for before I make a decision.
How detailed can the machine get? For example that police shield you cut. How small can you make it with it looking good still. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. I have a video that I’m working on showing real owners using them in their businesses to make money. I just had a lady sent me some beautiful copper work she’s doing with copper she’s cutting on her Langmuir. I’m really excited to get the video together.
Gardners Garage also. Don’t forget. $100 off when you use the discount code MANCRAFTING!
You just had to break out the Manly tools huh? Best of luck to you Chad!👍👍
Well, I hope that it allows me to create some new projects that are on my list of projects that I can't currently do without help. Thanks for watching Tracy.
Im very interested in getting the setup, unfortunately they dont ship to South Africa
Long wait for back orders . Shipping seems to have everyone waiting
I had to wait 3-4 months for my original. I bought it on the 2nd round of presales. I bought this one within minutes of the first round of presale. Same thing it took a while. Definitely months. That time is useful for really getting familiar with the design software you chose to use. It’s also a good time to get familiar with CAM as well. So many people buy it and build it never having done that. Then they get frustrated and think it’s the machines fault. It’s not difficult. I should say no one part of the process is that difficult to learn, but expecting to cut a sign or parts with zero experience the day the machine is opened is unrealistic. If you decide to buy one. Take the waiting time and be in a position to use the machine once you set it up. I only say this, because the first one I didn’t take the time. So I had an amazingly capable machine that I struggled to use for a while. Don’t be like me. 🤣
@@ManCrafting You sound like an idiot
Hello, Great CNC! Thanks for sharing.
Do you still have your Shapeoko or OOznest CNC?
Yes. I still have both.
Very very good
ابتكارات basem khoja خجا Thanks.
LOL.. Lincoln Electric ad for the Langmuir video...
I would just like to stop by and that k you for the tribute to one of our Gwinnett officers. Thank you.
On a different subject, what's the price point of this plasma cutter?
Chris P the table starts at $1,500. Then you have a few accessories you can buy and then add a plasma cutter. That’s another $509 to as much as $3000. ‘The one in the video is $2,400 out the door.
Great video...thanks for sharing. I am very interested in getting this table. If you don't mind saying which Plasma cutter and air compressor does he use? What are you planning to use for each?

this is what I am looking for . but I need a smaller one in size about 3x3 in size for home use.
This is about that size and is specifically for someone wanting one for home use. That's the whole target market. I have mine in the basement. This is the Cutting Envelope Dimensions:
25.3” (X) x 23.3” (Y) x 3.0" (Z)
Cool video! I’ve been looking at this table for the home shop. Seeing you consistently touch the computer screen made me cringe time and time again though and there’s this weird background music which seemed to project off of my room’s walls and make it sound like there was a taco truck outside my house at 4:00am.

Chad, what about machine torch head ? Will machine accommodate it verses hand held.
Yes. The CrossFire™ CNC plasma machine was designed to be the first true hobby-level machine and it comes standard with an adjustable universal hand torch mount. Each machine also includes a T-handle hex key for quick-release of your hand torch for fast cutting off of the machine. A straight machine torch is also compatible with the universal torch mount that is included with the CrossFire™ machine (maximum torch body diameter permitted is 1.30").
I need one of that maquina!!
Pedro López make sure you use discount code MANCRAFTING for $100 off!
That thing is great. Quite a bargain too! Almost seem not worth the effort of building one with value like that!

What all do you get for $1499, or perhaps it is better to as 'what don't you get?' I assume I supply the plasma cutter and my old laptop (the one I'm using) but what else what other lovin' will be required? Do I have to buy their recommended plasma or will the used model I'd probably buy off a junk sale board work?
You just want to be sure the plasma cutter you get doesn’t have a high frequency start. Here’s a list. www.langmuirsystems.com/plasma-cutters
Also, you will need a computer of some sort and software to create your projects in.
I am interested in purchasing this exact machine with the waterbed for myself. How large of object can you cut? Thank you
The CrossFire™ CNC machine was designed as a personal garage-sized table with maximum travel limits of 25.3" (X) x 23.3" (Y) x 3.0" (Z). The X and Y axis travel is controlled electronically by the stepper motors and the Z axis height is adjusted manually with the quick adjustment height control knob.
Also MANCRAFTING gets you $100 off in the discount code area.
Hi do you have any plans on how to make one of these cnc tables?
Gustavo Trozzi this is actually a Kit. It’s by far the most economical option I’ve found. I could probably source and cut everything to build one, but they’ve done all the hard work. There is a link in the video description on where to purchase and a $100 discount code. MANCRAFTING
first time I seen this, what kind of air compresser will one depending on what cutter you get, any suggestions
John barnette you’ll need something beefy. I already had a 60gal with a 3hp motor. Check the requirements of your plasma cutter.
That what I got found mine on craigslist for 400 with a brand new dual stage pump
What is your cut speed like on 16ga ? Also what is your cut speed like on 1/4? I own a welding supply company, and sell the Razorweld plasma cutters, I have never sold or used one on a CNC machine. It appears to be a nice little plasma table! Is it a 4x4 ft table? I was all over their website and couldn't find the dimensions on the table. Thanks for the video and response!
Cutting Envelope Dimensions: 25.3” (X) x 23.3” (Y) x 3.0" (Z) So It's limited in the project size unless you do like some users and extend the rails and bed. I don't plan on doing that. I have space limitations. As for feeds and speeds and power, obviously, each plasma cutter would be different, but the Crossfire community is building a reference chart for a variety of brands, obviously the Razorweld plasma cutters have a good amount of info.

Looking at these plasma cutting tables. I just recently saw them, because of the price I put it off for a few years. I enjoyed the video and was wondering if you would still recommend this table? Some of the add on's have changed since this was done. What do you recommend? Thanks Joe.
I have the larger model with the THC. If you decide on the smaller model definitely get the THC. It will make cutting a much more enjoyable experience. I sold my smaller one to a buddy and when the upgrade kit became available he added it and loves it.
@@ManCrafting by larger model do you mean the pro or the biggest the xr? if it is the xr is the size worth the addition for a small shop? I am looking at both, but of course the cost is more. Also I am just thinking about buying their cheaper plasma cutter, it seems to have good reviews and I don't want to additional cost of a bigger one. btwI lived in Lilburn growing up...now up in the mountains up north. thanks
@@joegarage6132 I have the Pro. 3x4 foot and I’ve cut signs up to 5x4 several times. I don’t have the space for the new model or I might have considered the upgrade. I’d love to move out of this area even though it’s been great for me, but my wife can’t really be any further from work than she is.
@@ManCrafting I was thinking about the pro, especially with upgrades they have now. I bought Mittler Bros louver press and dies last month. My last thing is this plasma table to make brackets for a few old hot rods I am building. Do you ever give one on one lessons like a friend gave u in one video I saw (gwinnett)? I tried to email you but that did not work. Thanks Joe.
Its 5:50am and my wife just woke up and told me hell no. She's my mind reader.
Mine has paid for itself 10X. In six months. My wife has learned my hobbies are self sufficient at the least a full time income now.
do you think an anglegrinder could do this quicker, it iooks very slow?
It couldn't do it as quick for most cuts this is making it couldn't do it at all. Also, one of the benefits is I don't have to be standing over it while it cuts, I have just because it's cool, but it the job is repeated parts that either fall through or sit on the blades I can let it run and be doing another task. But if you are wanting to cut a straight line maybe an angle grinder could be as fast. In my experience, it takes about 60 seconds to cut 20 inches of 3/16 and then you have to keep replacing cutoff wheels. So....
What drivers does stepper motors use?
Just out of curiosity, would it work with a Miller plasma cutter 375 or 625 x-treme? Also, I am guessing that if we regulate the movement speed and torch power we could cut 3/16” or even 1/4”?
Cedric Poitras K. People are running a lot of different machines. As long as it isn’t a high frequency start. Here’s a current list of compatible. www.langmuirsystems.com/plasma-cutters

ManCraftingTM I have it all put together, software synced & did all the wiring adaptations to my Everlast plasma torch. Just have to level out the gantry to the bed better. Plus as an incentive to finish my bathroom renovation, I vowed not to touch it again until I’m done😆😉
Construct Icon that whole restriction is nonsense. You need some artwork for that bathroom. You can’t finish the renovation without it. 🤣
ManCraftingTM I like your thinking 😆😂🤣
how clean are the cuts actually?compared to faser laser or water jet..
This was less than $5k. A fiber laser is $200k and up. Not really in the same league. That said I love it and it does most of what I need. If I need a laser cut part I farm that out.
I really like what I'm seeing on your video but I am a wood guy starting to learn.I am very new to metal fabricating. I
My question may sound stupid I'm sorry but. I'm very limited financially and a friend of mine see.s to think buying the
1. $20k plus Lincoln torchmate is so much better then the one you are using
2. He says that Lincoln claims that since they make the welder , table, software that will have so many less problems and it will be worth spending the more because the other tables such as the one you're talking about he's going to cause all kinds of problems and my question to you is is this true what do you feel about this do you have the experience to tell me that with this table if I learn certain things I won't have the problems or is it a big difference can you tell me your thoughts on this
Well, I didn’t have the space or budget for the Torchmate. So it wasn’t an option. I bought this first and got my feet wet. This February I moved up to the pro which is able to fit 4ft stock . It also has torch height control which to me was a big upgrade. Considering either system is less than 20% of the cost of a Torchmate there has to be differences. I happen to have a friend that owns a Torchmate. He does a lot of cool stuff with it, but I would say it is anything but trouble free. He’s probably been down more than up. That’s just one person with one table though. I wouldn’t expect that for $20k it would be the norm. That said, go on Instagram and do a hashtag search for #langmuirsystems and see how many people are making amazing things even mass production. Also check my video on the Langmuir Pro. The machine is amazing and still just a 1/4 of the cost. Unless you’re running a Torchmate 8 hours a day 5 days a week I don’t know how the cost difference is going to be justified. My projects have easily paid for the two machines and I sold my original to a friend who is using it.
Oh, I just realized I have two friends with a Torchmate. I was reminded when the second was complaining about his make a random cut on the second side of a square. Then several people piped in saying “welcome to Torchmate”

Thankyou for your helping me learn. And sharing info on torchmate. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions God bless you and your family thanks again
My pleasure. Good luck making a decision. I know it feels like a big one. It is, but the Langmuir finally got the math to work for me. Best decision I’ve made.
I’m seriously considering this unit. Have you experienced any issues with the single side mounted arm being unstable in any way?
Matt Pro that was actually a concern for me as well. Strangely not an issue at all. I have a router based CNC and a Laser both have the gantry supposed on both sides. So no support was a strange concept to me. The deflection is not noticeable .
ManCraftingTM fantastic thanks for the reply! Huge help
Its not unstable but it has to be adjusted to be level.
Matt theres really not that much weight on the gantry to start with and the way the bearings trap the side rail your not going to get any movment unless your bearing are out of adjustment.Its really a unique design they have come up with.

Did they fix the issue of interference with the hi freq plasma cutters?
@@ManCrafting whats the biggest size of a design you can do with these
@@horaciosalinas8145 2 feet by 8 feet I suppose if you are willing to index. I upgraded to the pro so I could go 4ft wide and the largest I’ve done is 4x5ft but have a project coming up that’s 4x8ft.
if you decide to get a larger on i highly suggest TruePlasma!!!
I’m actually stepping up to the Langmuir Pro. It has THC and can fit a full width sheet. I just don’t have space for much more. Maybe in 3 to 4 years I’ll move to an area where I can build a shop with an overhead crane. Then I’ll cut full sheets all day long.
@@ManCraftingMmmm THC 🚬
Does your laptop have to be connected to the unit when making a design or can you have it somewhere else, the reason I say this because let's say I'm not home and I do some designs on the road and when I get back I can hook it back up and let the unit start to cut?
You can absolutely design without the computer being attached. You only need for it to ba attached when the program is running the CNC.
@@ManCrafting is that with the Mac program or the firecontrol?
@@ManCrafting I have an apple computer and I was able to download the the firecontrol software but it won't let me download fusion 360 because I really wanted the crossfire pro.
@@ManCrafting thank you for the rapid response very helpfull
@@ManCrafting what do you use as computer ?
Ill be pulling the trigger soon on the Pro, yes ill use your code. Ive seen issues with the Mach 3 and 500 lines of code...I don't know what that means. Well I sort of know, but is it an issue for everyone? Ive searched but no real explanation, thanks.
The only issues I’ve seen is when people don’t put their purchase code in. Then it runs a trial version so it seems like it’s working and maybe on small jobs all is good. So they doesn’t realize they are having issue.
@@ManCrafting And all the stuff that I've read no one ever mentions that. Thanks for the insight I do appreciate it I'm very nervous about the whole experience. Mostly I think it's the CAD but I have some kids that are into it and one that actually wants to use it professionally when he gets out of school. Problem is he takes control and doesn't really teach me he just does it in about 8 seconds lol.
Seriously. CAD is my nemesis. I really want to learn it, but I struggle to do it in video. Most videos I struggle to see what they are doing on the screen. So I miss things. Almost everything I cut I draw in Inkscape or Illustrator. Sheetcam is relatively simple. I picked it up after a couple of videos. If you really want to learn CAM start now. That way when you get the table you’ll be up and running.
Your video is great. Your music on the other hand...
No question it’s tough to choose
Music that has universal appeal and is royalty free.
kenn Miller are you looking at getting this or the Pro? I just finished the Pro and have been using it for the past few days. It’s amazing.
Just teasing a bit about the music. I'm looking at the Pro. I do allot of specialty brackets and I want the larger table area.
kenn Miller if you order, Langmuir has given my viewers a $100 discount code. ManCrafting. I’ve been using the Pro for about a week and I am absolutely loving it. I spent today running power to where I have it now. This takes up more space and I needed to move it.

I'd say he is either going a bit too fast or not enough power into the cut (sparks should only flow to the bottom, not in the top), as far as I know, I mean.
Abraham I think it was time to change consumables but neither of us are experts at the operation. He knows the design side really well and has made some heavy duty brackets for the engine of his Mustang since this was recorded.
What are the measurements of the table? How long is it that can cut?

@@ManCrafting Gracias necesito una que corte de largo 27 pulgada
Great machine... I need something just like that, same specs and all but i can't buy it from Spain... it's a shame :( ... every other alternative here it's 6000+€
sargentavs I feel your pain. I’ve shipped what I consider inexpensive light items to Europe and it cost more than the item. That’s forgoing insurance. I have no idea how something like this would make it there in one piece let alone cost effectively.
@@ManCrafting do you know any similar alternative in that price range? I was thinking to buy an ACRO system from openbuilds dot com and adapt it to use plasma instead of laser... but i'm not confident enough :(
Am in France ... but when they ship to the UK, why not to mainland Europe?
Below. Ok, that was odd, but you asked nicely. Cool table.
Panhead49EL thanks. 🤣
The computer shit is holding me back from getting into CNC. I really want a plasma table bad but I just freeze with computers man. Other than checking my email and surfing the web - Im lost.

Jake Thompson thanks for coming back Jake. Is the audio better this time around?
ManCraftingTM I can hear it just fine... it’s better than my videos.. lol
Jake Thompson I asked because you were one of three that were commenting before I pulled it down.
ManCraftingTM Yeah.. it’s all good Brother!!
Interesting technology taking a plasma torch and sticking it essentially on a printer head for lack of a better term an awesome marriage of Technologies probably an expensive tool for the do-it-yourselfer but a money maker for a business and probably challenging to learn for old people but easy for the younger generation
Eugene Bigay. 1990 American Skaters this is the 4th CNC style machine that I will own. All of them are amazing.
How thick of a metal can it cut
Erick Towet it depends on the plasma Cutter. 45amp will do Up to 5/8 in.
Can it do indexing to do longer pieces ?
Charlie Bardo great question. I haven’t done it but it can.
That might be the deciding factor in me buying one of those . To be able to do bigger things than the table. Especially with such an open platform as this has ,you only have one side to contend with
Charlie Bardo you could probably put in pins to get an accurate indexing. It should be possible.

Edward Foehring absolutely. For anyone wanting to see if the plasma cutter that they may already own will work, there is a list on the website. Main thing that will keep it from being compatible is a High Frequency start. It will mess with the control module. www.langmuirsystems.com/plasma-cutters

I'm going to call it, the scrap side.
Nice video ..if it wasn't bad enough they do not have a z axis or torch height control or that the gantry is only supported from one side .Now you have such bad software..The thought of having to actually go and click and put which way each and every piece is gonna cut in a system that is not dealing with exacts..how in the world are you gonna get anything near accurate with that? I mean by comparison sheetcam allows you to put the kerf comp for your actual cutter as well as cut speeds and cut heights right from the book.. And now for the big thing sheetcam looks at the part and automatically sets the cut height,cut speed,Pierce height,cut order,cut direction,and which side to do the lead in and lead out as well as which side to offset to... On most of the stuff I cut I have over a hundred peirces .with this software needing to go thru several different drop downs for each hole I would literally fall asleep at the computer..Seeing the results of that piece with the Stars would likely be very common with this softwar.This software seems to rely on the customer to do all the thinking instead of having software that does the hard work for you like pretty much every other system out there...
George Muzek so the issue is with the software and not the actual plasma right? So could you just purchase a better software to run the plasma and this table with or would that not essentially solve the issue? Only asking as this table seems like a great deal for someone starting up but if I’ve got to go through all of that to make a decent looking piece I think I’ll honestly get lost.
@@vtec92civic that software is way off industry standard .. now no z axis is gonna be another big issue get one tip up and the machine will rip itself apart ..plus slow cut speeds mean lots of dross.. .. lots of things to consider
George Muzek so what software do you recommend or is it just better to get a different cnc unit?
The software isnt that complicated...I can design a part and click the the object one time and set the cut direction on every detail and if you dont like using the free software you can always buy sheetcam and use it.This machine just works...You match it up with a Hypertherm and feed it dry air and you can make nice things.This machine is a game changer for the industry and after many sheets of steel and a few tip up crashes its still intact.
What kind of air compressor are you running? I am going to be using an Everlast50S plasma cutter.
GS I have a 60 gal 3hp Northstar from Northern with a Harbor Freight dryer. I have a 45amp plasma cutter currently.

CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN PROCESS. AXLE YOU SHOULD OF CALLED THAT GUY BACK IN PIGEON FORGE. I WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE WITH MY TABLE AND 3 OTHER ALL MALFUNCTIONING HE CALLED YOU 37 TIMES IN 3 DAYS, YOU SAID OH IF THE KERTH DONT FIX IT CALL ME RIGHT BACK, WE LEFT MESSAGES EVEN ASKED FOR THE OWNER YOU TOTALLY AVOIDED ALL CALLS. ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE. WAIT TIL ALL THE PEOPLE AT THE CAR SHOW SEE YOUR TABLES. NOT WORKING. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO CHARGE BACK THE TABLE YOU BOUGHT. YOU HAVE 6 MONTHS. OH AND YOU HAVE ROBERTS NUMBER IN PIGEON FORGE ALL 4 TABLES ARE STILL SITTING THERE.
i don't understand why you have to go through all that.. like telling the software on every single cut to cut inside or out... i have a cnc router and the software you only check once if the whole thing has to start cutting from inside or outside.. looks like you have to check every single cut.. that's crazy...
I have a CNC Router as well. The difference is Plasma has a lead in. It starts cutting as it leads into the cut. Router starts spinning in the air and plunges. It’s not pushing through the wood like Plasma is pushing through the metal.
yeah if I have to do that on a future project of mine i'd be bushed. Hopefully our videos will get a CNC machine in the future.
DAnDy's Secret Woodshop it’s not as bad as the commenter above makes it seem. Most are preselected. The video is just showing that it’s not 100%. Good to review and change if needed.
fusion360 operates a lot cleaner for me with my plasma table cam if I extrude the model, then I’m able to click the body once and fusion does the rest.

waste of my time
larry hoekstre making money is a waste of your time?
So .... doing a review on something you don't own. Ok .. $$$ bait
I had mine on order and was excited about the purchase. I found out someone who was nearby had one, so I went out and spent the day learning about it. You're commenting 16 months after I received it and made so much money with it, when they came out with the Pro model I sold the old one and upgraded. I've now had that for 4-5 months and really love it. It's an amazing tool, and until you've owned one, it's hard to express how great it is to have in the shop. th-cam.com/video/HFHLn6aT08k/w-d-xo.html I have at least three more videos on the new one as well, and if you are subscribed you can expect a minimum of a video a month where it will be used in a project. It's a game-changer for me, and as my welding skill improves I will continue to make bigger and better projects with the new Pro version of this machine. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and make a comment.
Very informative. Thank you. This is the kind of video I’ve been looking for before I make a decision.
How detailed can the machine get? For example that police shield you cut. How small can you make it with it looking good still. Thanks!
Did you pick one up?
