Very awesome as always! Two suggestions: Use a controller to automatically alternate the rotation direction for each cut to uncoil your plasma cutter lines. Suspend a longer section of the lead leaving the pulley as to allow the torsion to be distributed over a longer straight line.
Great build and nice workmanship with nothing fancy! Also love that you’re not spending half the video banging your gums and trying to sell things. Much appreciated bro. Subscribed
Brilliant! The only way I could imagine improving on it would be to change the cam follower action to stepper motor control (yeah, a whole lot more involved, true.) For the increased complication you'd get a cutter that can give perfect notches based on inputting pipe diameter as well as the ability to make ANY notch profile you want. But yeah, way more involved, but way more versatile too. All that being said, I would not take ANYTHING away from this design. Brilliant and bulletproof.
Just watched this for the first time now... very good attention to detail in your builds, and great use of recycled items/parts. Most impressive is your purely mechanical approach to solving the problem. I think many other makers would not have attempted such a solution, or maybe would have "cheated" using CNC motors or purchased parts specific to the purpose. You even make sure the end result looks as nice as possible and number your builds. Very well done!
We are a group of Italian mechanics and toolmakers have worked together for 30 years ... we've built so many things, even useless ( like a tesla machine ...) we understand you well .... at the lunch break we look your fantastic video. greetings from Italy ...
Just discovered your content last night. Make It Extreme is one of my newest favorite channels on TH-cam! I love the way you make all of your creations look so much like commercial factory produced products. Very imaginative and ingenious!
for all those of you wondering about the cable turn, as you can see he did 1 cicle clockwise and the next one counterclockwise, so there is pratically zero risk of damaging the cable!
+asasial1977 Sorry, but you are misinformed and incorrect. Please stop repeating incorrect info. Inside the outer sheath there is a gas tube (air), a power conductor plus a multiconductor control and sense cable. High current and some high end units also have a pair of cooling tubes.
I love your builds and finish, very proffessional looking. Guess you will have to be careful not to damage the supply wire and air cable due to constant twisting, but awesome build. Thank you 😁
Love this simple design. I just couldn't take my eyes off that twisting plasma cable. Why did you keep cutting over and over in the same direction? Wouldn't the machine cut the other direction too?
You are Avery practical fabricator. Like the blacksmiths , and gun smooths of yesteryear. Most people have no idea how things are made , let alone how the machines that made them are made.
If you added a rod to the larger pulley that would swing past the on/off switch and clicked it off as it finished its 360* rotation would you eliminate the need to babysit all your cuts?
Guys....you dudes blow my fucking mind. Every time i watch I shake my head in amazement at what you fellas do. It's great to watch young people just go kick ass like you guys do. Don't know what country you are in but congratulations on what you do.
Very well designed machine. A lot of work, but what a time saver for pipe and tube fabrication. I missed how you compensate the oval cutting path when the tube is rotated at an angle. Are you just dragging the tip and allowing the arms to flex?
I wondered how they did that too :). Even caught myself imagining some Arduino controlled cutter head with simple ultrasound sensor and some Extreme motorized translation system :D Thinking more simply, leaving the head free with a soft magnet to keep it in contact to the pipe seems sufficient.
I'm pretty sure he kept the axis parallel for this reason. I'm guessing he didn't think that part through before he built the angular adjustment and only later did he realize that it won't work with that setup.
electrician,engineer,welder,machinist,carpenter mechanic Etc! one smart cookie you will always have a job! and nice job on all these fantastic project's!
work piece moving would eliminate cable twist BUT would present an entire new set of issues, like what if you're cutting 20' 24' or 40' pieces of iron. Your machine just got a lot larger. Id guess they went this route because the cable twist is easier to manage.
its not that big of a piece of equipment to do it the other way. I have a rotating stand with a long cable that hooks to the motor. And roller stand to support the other end. and when Im done they both get moved back out of the way.
It's funny when you watch videos on youtube and you see something and immediately know that the comment section is gonna flood with the same question over and over again
Did IQ's drop overnight on TH-cam, everyone is screaming about the cable twist but the motor spins in either direction, if he does one cut one way he can then do the next in the opposite direction. Awesome video, great idea, love your approach to a problem. This seems perfect for mass production, but it can be versatile enough for small projects.
No ablo inglés es el mejor canal de TH-cam que e visto en mi país No ay ninguna máquina así quisiera poder construir alguna , pero me conformo ver a un maestro mecánico sigan así 🙋👍✌
Hooolly shit... I just can't understand why you don't have at least 2 million followers. You HAVE to be an alien or something... Every single piece of contraption / machine is utterly GENIUS! Awesome! :)
Eres un DIOS, un genio, solo falta la patente (M.R) y producción en serie ... venderías muchas !! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- éxito hermano, - un abrazo desde Texcoco México !
If cable fatigue is an issue clamp it so that it does not twist on axis and then form it into a large loop at the back of the machine (like a watch spring) then operate back and forth as you have done.
You could add a limit switch that would stop it after a rotation and trigger it to counter rotate until it tripped the switch again. Simple and removes the need to babysit it and deal with the wire problems. I suppose it would also have to cut power to the cutter.
OMG, there are a few people on TH-cam that just 'raise the bar' - you are definitely in that class, fantastic. Question: In the early part the motor appears to be a wiper motor (I think) and towards the end, there is a completely different motor. What is that one? Keep up the great work.
A little bit of relay/switching control, and it can stop or reverse direction automatically after a full rotation. Quick and easy, it should fit right in the control box, as it sits now. So cool.
That is just friggn awesome!!! Now to find a way to keep the cord from twisting to much so you dont have to worry about spinning the thing backwards after every run.
for a simple limit switch drill and tap a hole into the large flywheel near the outside and put a bolt into it so it sticks out of the flywheel by 1 inch then mount a small toggle switch and stick a 2 inch piece of rubber tube (fuel line) onto the switch and mount it so the bolt will flip the switch when it rotates. you can even adjust the size of rubber tube and how far the switch is from the bolt too make the cutter go slightly farther then 360 degrees. if you get a on-off-on switch then you can hook it up to relays (or whats in your controller box) to make it go back and forth.
Awesome piece of engineering. I hope you make enough money to stay self employed and not making money for someone else because your talent is unmatched by most. Keep up the great work!
How do you adjust the plasma cutter's head when you want to cut small diameter of a tube? fantastic machine. I would love to see you to build a Chopper motorcycle frame with your toys !!!
All the people are asleep and dreaming! Nice hearing Puppy in a shop! I worked third shift and was alone in my tool-room so had my own CPU speaker set-up so I wouldn't have to listen to the same 7 country songs play every hour for 6 hours. Management would hear my rivet-head music when they came in, or my drum and bass, and they thought I was weird/fucked up in head/on drugs. Hell, I broke a wrench once and bumped into a sharp die with an artery, spraying the ceiling and room. Being the first aid guy, nobody else could clean it up. Management arrived before I got back from stitches, and thought I did a blood sacrifice!
The guide for the notch you made is ok only for a specific diameter if pipes. The guide you'll need for smaller pipes will be not so immediate to build. A simple mechanism should be with a regulable manuvel_biel mechanism. Than you twisted horribly the cable of the pladma torch. You need a stop switch somewhere. Then as we have understood that a rebuild is needed this time, may be you should take in account also angulate joints. It should be not so difficult. As a suggestion: "the radial distance of your guide following roller, has to be also reguble" Nice try keep on! This is a game changer device. If you solve those issues you should make a kichstarter campain for this!
I like this plasma cutter notcher but I think it would also be cool if the pipe went through the mechanism and the plasma cutter could cut down the length of the pipe. Can you think of some uses for something like this?
This is the first time seeing channel, but I want you to know that I have spent a lot of time on you tube, and I truly think this thing is great, and it's not so complicated like a lot of builds are, that most people could actually use this, and have the ability to construct it ... So many applications really. Good for you man.... I subscribed, and I look forward to your past videos, and especially the upcoming ones :-)
It is necessary to rotate the part, not the plasma torch. Then there will be no problem with twisting and chafing the sleeve. And in general, the design will be more reliable.
I hope you enjoy this video! :) Tell us your thoughts!
Make it Extreme cool!!
Make it Extreme The best channel on TH-cam... please... make a CNC plasma cutting next....
You need something to brand your machines, better than stickers, like an engraver. I'm sure you can come up with a simple Extreme solution.
Make it Extreme I need a water jet
how long have you had your cut50 plasma cutter?
Very awesome as always!
Two suggestions:
Use a controller to automatically alternate the rotation direction for each cut to uncoil your plasma cutter lines.
Suspend a longer section of the lead leaving the pulley as to allow the torsion to be distributed over a longer straight line.

you must have the most capable workshop. I've watched you build some amazing things. keep it up
If someone is inclined to fabricate equipments, devices and machines, your channel is the guide line....Bravo!
We are a group of Italian mechanics and toolmakers have worked together for 30 years ... we've built so many things, even useless ( like a tesla machine ...) we understand you well .... at the lunch break we look your fantastic video. greetings from Italy ...
Very creative and resourceful!
I believe you are the most complete builder in TH-cam.
You guys are on a roll ... the last 3 builds have been OUTSTANDING ... and the editing & camera work on this one, was way COOL.
That is fantastic!!! Brilliant channel guys!
the Hacksmith This guy is awsome!
Thank you! :)
Make it Extreme respect !!!!
you are really the extreme!good job! every work like a piece of arts,indeed.

there is no cable in a plasma cutter, only a rubber hose
Really? Explain to us how that works.
asasial1977 Of course there is cable, the plasma is electrically generated at the tip. Source: I own a plasma cutter.
+asasial1977
Sorry, but you are misinformed and incorrect.
Please stop repeating incorrect info.
Inside the outer sheath there is a gas tube (air), a power conductor plus a multiconductor control and sense cable.
High current and some high end units also have a pair of cooling tubes.
How would that make a diffrence? A hose would also break if twisted too much.
this easily the best channel on TH-cam. You guys come up with the most entertaining builds around.
Thank you so much for the kind words! :)
I love your builds and finish, very proffessional looking.
Guess you will have to be careful not to damage the supply wire and air cable due to constant twisting, but awesome build.
Thank you 😁
The guy below with the idea to rotate the pipe and keep cutter stationary is the best idea.
the wire of the plasma cutter, wouldnt it be destroyed after a while? because of the rotation?
Giwrgos Blasiadis cut one way, then the other.
there are no wires in a plasma cutter except the trigger which with this setup the trigger is not on the head.
asasial1977 the air line and the cable that carries the power for cutting
I'm sure the people who made this are intelligent enough to have thought about the wire.
no because the wire is running through the middle of the spinnin thing so it dont
Twists
The technology that came before CNC, very impressive. The OG machine programming
Love this simple design. I just couldn't take my eyes off that twisting plasma cable. Why did you keep cutting over and over in the same direction? Wouldn't the machine cut the other direction too?
Shawn Crocker clearly you didn’t watch all of the video. It cuts both ways
@@LostBoyDieselPig Wouldn't be hard to add a couple of limit switches so that it alternates between cutting directions.
You are Avery practical fabricator. Like the blacksmiths , and gun smooths of yesteryear. Most people have no idea how things are made , let alone how the machines that made them are made.
If you added a rod to the larger pulley that would swing past the on/off switch and clicked it off as it finished its 360* rotation would you eliminate the need to babysit all your cuts?
set it and forget it
Does an excellent job machining the various detailed parts, then eyeballs the main spinning element before welding.
This is great... and I had no idea what a "notcher" was until the end 🤓👍🏼
Thank you!
GOD! If only other videos were edited and sped up as well as this one....Kudos to both the engineering and the videography!
Thanks for the ingenuity..
How long do your projects usually take from design to finish?
Guys....you dudes blow my fucking mind. Every time i watch I shake my head in amazement at what you fellas do. It's great to watch young people just go kick ass like you guys do. Don't know what country you are in but congratulations on what you do.

AKA Nathan An Arduino controlled one with angle and diameter adjustments would be amazing!
Better yet: rotate the pipe while the cutter moves back and forth driven by an arduino controlled steeper motor drive. "Done". (mic drop)
I'm pretty sure he kept the axis parallel for this reason. I'm guessing he didn't think that part through before he built the angular adjustment and only later did he realize that it won't work with that setup.
electrician,engineer,welder,machinist,carpenter mechanic Etc! one smart cookie you will always have a job! and nice job on all these fantastic project's!
the design has a flaw that allows too much cable twist better than the workpiece moves rather than the cutter
Perry Daniels You just need to keep an eye on it.
work piece moving would eliminate cable twist BUT would present an entire new set of issues, like what if you're cutting 20' 24' or 40' pieces of iron. Your machine just got a lot larger. Id guess they went this route because the cable twist is easier to manage.
Better to have to watch the cable twist than trying to rotate a 10 meter length of pipe with a bend in it.
exactly
its not that big of a piece of equipment to do it the other way. I have a rotating stand with a long cable that hooks to the motor. And roller stand to support the other end. and when Im done they both get moved back out of the way.
this type of things make this channel so awesome
Thank you!
this is my favorite channel. dam* hot projects!
Thank you very much! :)
This build is F***ing amazing!........your skills are on another level. I cant get enough of this channel...
It's funny when you watch videos on youtube and you see something and immediately know that the comment section is gonna flood with the same question over and over again
This is genius
Probably wouldn't have hurt to implement some mechanism to prevent the wire from getting twisted too much in one direction
Every time you use it you make it go the other way.
you are one of best genius i follow in youtube . respect from algeria
FANTASTICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oooooo
Après avoir vu une grande partie de tes vidéos, en tant que soudeur je te félicite pour toute tes oeuvres que je trouve excellente. Bravo.
can build a Power Hammer plz @Make it Extreme
You guys are making yourself a very nice shop and making money while doing it. GENUIS!
Thank you!
One more time bro I see that you have amazing ideas and you are fken PRO
Thank you brother! :)

really the name deserves make it extreme
you guys are really amazing for creativity and knowledge about all the works
5:00 Orbital f*cking machine? xD
Yeah, you know how there are over 9000 genders and that?
Some of them require some really weird motions.
Quite sophisticated mechanism. This idea with spring and curve are great.
No ablo inglés es el mejor canal de TH-cam que e visto en mi país No ay ninguna máquina así quisiera poder construir alguna , pero me conformo ver a un maestro mecánico sigan así 🙋👍✌
OOhhh thats a really cool machine. when you add the rounded plates my mind went OOoooOOOohhhh. Very nice work.
руки откуда нужно растут .удачи и крепкого здоровья.и чтобы руки не болели
Not hard to see why you are the Big Dog on TH-cam! Great job.
Not sure how someone can posses these many superhero metal working skills!
Awsome!

If cable fatigue is an issue clamp it so that it does not twist on axis and then form it into a large loop at the back of the machine (like a watch spring) then operate back and forth as you have done.
Probably the best channel about making tools and cool stuffs.
You guys never stop amazing us!
Cheers!!!
Brilliant. That thing is insane. I'm hoping this was built for some crazy monster build.
Thank you Brian! :)

Facing cuts with the boring bar. I like your style :)
put a spring-loaded guide wheel on the tube too, so the torch is also always at the same distance, congratulations!

OMG where you take all of these ideas?? The notcher is extremely cool!
clever guide plate. It took me a second to see how you were directing ghe cutter
How do you work in lightning speed? I mean a plasma cutter notcher in under ten minutes ! OUTSTANDING!!!
With all the great stuff these guys make you think they would make a table for that chop show
Most impressive creation yet!! Well engineered and very handy. Hell yeah!!

Nice cutter! dont forget to go CW and CCW direction because all wires and hoses are twisted so much :)
excellent video. a true craftsman at work.
