- It's Alive! Building a CNC Plasma Table with JD's Garage plans, go to www.youtube.com/@jdsgarage701... to get some plans of your own, If I can put this together so can you!
Nice to see one of Nate's calendars on the wall...lol
Hey good catch 👍🏻 he photographed one of bikes for Biker mag many years ago
Idea on making those washers a bit easier to install. On the stl files, add a extended bit. Instead of being shaped like an O, it would be shaped like O- so you have a little piece to keep ahold of while installing them. Then trim the piece off after install
Good call
good job. thanks for sharing
Thanks
We really need a shelf on ours! Gotta keep that powerade handy.
True that got flush out the poisons working in the garage so more can be added after lol 👍🏻
That's cool , it will be a time saver when doing your builds for sure
You need a machine to make the parts needed.
Should be a time saver for sure 👍🏻
Great video !!!!!!!
Right on Thx 🤜🏻
Awesome video, love to see it moving finally. Can't wait for the first cut video.
I have a few cuts lines up, not sure if I have the feeds correct, it will be a learning process
Thanks for the great videos, go you!
Thanks
Saw your sticker on a pisser stall in Cuba at the beetles bar ✌️👍🤘
Wow that’s still there? Thought it would have got pulled off
I just bought the same plans. Very excited to put it together. Stepper motors just arrived today. God Bless Amazon
Right on have fun 👍🏻
That is going to be so handy, no way I'd try to build that but if you say it was easy I'll take your word for it.. I love seeing my sticker on your cabinet, I'm in good company.. Can't wait to see what you produce on this gizmo.
Ya I’m excited about it, I was hoping to have a video out next week of it working. Painting problems lol not sure if it will be ready 🤔
Helo.helo.man.your.anser.some.one.like.❤I.like.it.love.you
Thx
I'm in the process of building this design as well, but not as far along. The major 3D printed parts are done and the Z axis is done. Have made a torch height controller which has only been bench tested so far. Soon need to but some tubing.
Cool there sweet tools 👍🏻
Looks good. Just got my plans from jd still printing the 3d parts. Well done, sir
right on thx, have fun with your build, very cool tool to have in the garage
Any video update of the Cnc plasma, did you ad the z axis ?
I have not added the Z at this time but still plan to eventually
Buy some beer for James 🍺 that’s the hard part ! The arduino and the electronics
agreed 👍🏻
I am right at the end of my JDG plasma build and have enjoyed watching the struggle with the same things. E.G. stinking washers in the bearing block, flashing the firmware onto arduino, etc.
cheers mate!
Right on my friend, I have hardly even used my table but wow the view and response I have got with these videos 👍🏻 seem I need to make more, thanks for the message and cheers to you 🤜🏻
Parabéns
thanks
You did a very nice job on this build. I’m about 90% complete with mine. Your shielding wire did you connect it to the motors or did you just leave it inside the wire? Thanks have a nice day.
Thx, I left my shielding wire loose inside it is not connected to the motors, at the time I was unaware to do so. So for it works great so unless I have problems I will most Likely leave it how it is.
Thanks heaps for sharing this with us, as I said earlier in your previous video that I'm currently starting mine also. Your right it is easy, can you tell us what was your issue was with the flashing in case one of us have the problem? Once again thanks and enjoy, we can see your pretty damned stoked with your efforts - and so you should be, well done!
Truly I’m not even sure? I believe it was Limitation of the computer? My buddies PC flashed it NP
I've noticed that there is an issue between USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 with serial comms. Most outputs on laptops these days are USB 3.0 due to their speeds but the pin outs are just a liiitle off. Not sure why it doesn't work unless it's a serial USB cable issue, but I'm assuming you're using the same cable that came with the arduino. Glad you were able to work through it. This is giving me inspiration to try my had it.
I bought the USB cable separately (didn’t come with the Arduino) maybe that why I was having difficulty flashing it?
@roadboogalabuilds5318 maybe... but honestly, it's a pretty stupid standard that some manufacturers choose to use and others to simply ignore. Then there is serial USB cables... I won't get into those... basically if the end of the cable is black, 98% of the time it's usb 2.0 and if it doesn't work plugging it into a port that's blue or red, find a port that's black. USB3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible, but I've fixed more issues this way than not.
I mean USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, but some where it's been lost in translation.
BTW, the business end of the USB (the small side) is referred to as the "B" side. And this can very on size. What most people call an "Android" charging cable is really a USB2.0 B-micro end. And there is a slightly different pinout OTG (the data type for android) and serial. The regular USB2.0 B side, what most people refer to as a printer cable, (much bigger than micro or mini) almost square, doesn't have this limitation because it's only serial.
Sorry, had to nerd out a sec.
Within recent memory, I had this problem connecting the brain of my daughter's robot to my laptop. My laptop only had USB3.0 and USBc ports. Plugging in a docking station that had a 2.0 fixed it.
@@micvox6805 that’s a lot more about cables then I know!
@roadboogalabuilds5318 yeah, sorry about that... I could fill an entire 1hr video on different cables, types, and uses, but it's already been done a million times by far more knowledgeable than I. But thanks for the reply!
I really enjoyed this series.
@@micvox6805 thanks
have you had any issues with heat build up in a sealed box with the electronics?
I have not, it was a concern of mine when I built it. If it ever becomes a problem I will prob raise the box up install a fan in the bottom to pull air out
Appreciate you documenting your build.
How did you manage to get that USB cable through the cable gland?
Thx, Was a screw type gland cap Cut a slot in the gland and held it back together with the cap
Gidday from Australia, great helpful video, I have got my plans from JD garage and just starting my build. Just interested in what length you made your legs, I like the height, and the mobility with the casters to. Keep up the good work, all the best Lance
Thanks Lance all the way from Australia, The hight of my machine is 31” from the floor to the top of the water tray, the legs are 25.25” not including the hight of the casters I used. Legs a casters combined 31”
Where do you connect the shield wire at on the aviation connector?
good question, it’s not hooked to anything and it’s been working fine. JD’s garage just came out with an update video that helps explain what to do with shielded wires
Glue the washer to the bearing

What cutter+compressor combo are you running with the table? I'm about to start my build -- parts are printing right now heh
th-cam.com/video/wm-cVtidRrU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rMuX2G_cMtOMH4CS the compressor I’m using is a larger shop compressor I have had for years, you could use a much smaller one to operate this table
Hello, again. I'm at the point I can't delay the wiring any longer as I have done all the mechanical elements including the Z axis feature. My question today is do you think I can put the Z driver in the ammo box without crowding things too much and creating too much heat ? I was a little unsure of how much wire to use on each run between the drivers , power supply, and the other small elements in the box but it appears all I need would be just enough to place the items neatly on the board. Thanks , as always, for your insight Demon
I can’t fully answer that question, I have not added a Z axis to my machine at this time. If it fits in the ammo box I wouldn’t be afraid to try it
@roadboogalabuilds5318 Yeah. I didn't really expect you to know for sure. Guess I'm just delaying the wiring process do to my inexperience. Thanks for responding again. Have a great day.
@@williamlanphar630 good luck let me know how you make out
@@roadboogalabuilds5318 Thanks ! I will.
@@williamlanphar630 👍🏻
hello, I have a similar idea. How much are the engines pulleys controls etc. All the things to make your machine work from the motors on. Thanks

I own one spool of white wire and a 12 color variety pack of sharpies. Call me cheap or call me a genius, you decide.
cool
Great videos! It might seem like a silly question but what was the stuff you sprayed before etching on the metal in the first minute of the video? Just paint or something else?
Thx, don’t remember what exactly I was using at the time but it was similar to this, Seymour 620-1558 Toolmaker's Blue Layout Ink
Kool build did you have any problem with overheating in the amo box thanks
thx, so far no problems with that but i haven’t worked it a whole lot so time will tell? If it’s a problem I was thinking of raising it up and cutting a hole in the bottom with a fan
What is the part number or link to where you bought the connectors that you put on the box for the stepper motor connections?
i’m still looking for a link for those connectors, I thought they came from amazon but I don’t see them in my past orders
Nice plasma table mang. Got any RB merch for sale ?
Maybe
Hello, again. I just wanted to ask you if you are happy with the plastic ammo box for the electronics. I have the same box you have and I am at the stage of starting on that part of the project . Do you have any issues with heat ? Should I add a fan or is the method you show in the video working fine. Thanks for all your help.
It’s been working fine for me, however I have never ran my table for long periods at a time. I also figured I would add a fan if I had heat problems, so far so good 👍🏻
@roadboogalabuilds5318 Cool. Then I'll get started . Thanks, again !
@@williamlanphar630 good luck have fun
Do you know what spools of wire you used for motors (gauge and number of wires) and about how many feet did you need to buy. If you have an Amazon part number even better 🙂
I bought some of the wire locally it was kinda crap, I really don’t remember how many feet? I ended up getting this from amazon UHPPOTE 22 AWG Gauge 4 Conductor Bare Unshielded Cable Alarm Security Burglar Wire (50ft) a.co/d/iwmEM2Y hope that helps
If you make part out of steel and you worry about weight. Just make speed hole in it😂
speed holes are good, bullet holes look even tougher lol
I’m pretty impressed! I wonder how long it would take you to make the parts for the plasma table with the plasma table! Lol😂 I might need some parts cut in the future, now I know where to go!
I’m sure that’s the thought process of everyone who has built one these lol
@roadboogalabuilds5318 Right!! What program you gonna use to design parts?
@@jasonfalk1586 machine runs on open builds I have been designing parts in fusion 360
did you have issues with fusion 360 creating a tool path with the settings from jds garage, I put my plasma cutter in with the settings they said which was 1mm kerf and 20mm nozzle and got an error every time, @@roadboogalabuilds5318
What software are you using?
Open builds
What program is used with this setup
open builds
Hello, again. I hope im not being too annoying. I am going to use the same plastic ammo box you did. Can you tell me what the fittings and glands you used on it ? Also, about how much of the 4 conductor shielded cable did you end up using ? Thanks.
No prob not annoying I bought wire in bulk lots left over, here is some Amazon links of what I used
UHPPOTE 22 AWG Gauge 4 Conductor... www.amazon.ca/dp/B08BZBK5HN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

@roadboogalabuilds5318 Thank you, again.
Actually in the garage messing with the table right now lol
@@williamlanphar630 all good 👍🏻
@@roadboogalabuilds5318 hahaha....what timing !
Tell me you bought an ammo box from Princess Auto without telling me you bought from Princess Auto. ;)
I'm enjoying your build, excellent
Not sure I fully follow your comment but yes that is a princes auto ammo box
What kind of motor do you use?
I used a couple stepper motors from amazon, the ones recommended in the JD’s garage plans
I bought a langmuir cnc table, so that i could cnc cut all the flanges to build my own plasma 52*52. Lazy or genius, you be the judge.
Cool
hello, Why is one sin longer than the table?
Not sure exactly what your asking, if your wondering why the Y-axis is off set, it is this what due to the plasma torch being mounted to the side of the X-axis. This keeps the torch in the operating range of the table. If you watch part 3 you will see what i’m saying
How long it take to build?? Because now I need one asap. Lol
if you have everything you need and you speed a few 8 hour days in the garage prob 3-5 days
It took me much longer, I only get an hour or 2 here and there and always have multiple projects on the go!
Thank you for the reply .you just got my subscription to your channel. And I fire my 3d printer to start printing

Friend of mine lost 2 fingers and part of his palm wearing gloves like that at the drill press. Just sayin
That sucks
had to turn off the music, distracting.
