Anything welding

That made me laugh! I should up my game so I can weld when hungry. Ha ha.

 

Garage in shambles, reorganizing a few things, and new welding table just arrived

Unfortunately the legs are delayed so hopefully they arrive tomorrow so I can get everything tidied up

 

Looked like what I was wanting so...I made one for myself out of 12g mild steel.

 

Nice!

She's cutting well ain't she?!

 

I need filtration on my air though, I think I am getting some oil contamination. towards the end of the cutting I started to pick up a slight bevel, nothing that was a deal breaker for this part.

 

New welding table who dis





Cause it's only money right?

Bought a new Hypertherm 45XP too

 

Ok plasma folks… I’m starting to think about shoe horning a cnc table in my already kinda packed shop and am wondering how much spark/spatter am I going to have to deal with. As in how close can it live to things that might not like being showered by sparks?

 

You'll get sparks and metal dust on shit regardless.

The sparks aren't damaging anything, but the metal dust that isn't captured by the water table will extend several feet beyond the table in every direction.

Go STV if you buy a CNC table or follow @Pyrotech thread if you want to go DIY.

 

What all do you run for filtration?

My setup goes from air compressor -> refrigerated air dryer -> coalescing filter -> desiccant filter -> motor guard filter -> plasma cutter.

 

Dust everywhere is an understatement. I am still working on my water table, as you can see it is very much needed.

 

Yep!

EVERYWHERE!

 

well, about that.... until now has been just the refrigerated air dryer. I knew running without would result in lower consumable life. but it was a case of bring over zealous an impatient. I have been working on this machine for several years an I wanted to see it cut something.

This was something I picked up awhile back, I was originally going to use it on the powder coat gun. but I have not had a a need to use it in awhile now, at least for the small parts I am able to bake.



been looking at the motor guard filters as well

 

Definitely add a motor guard filter.

You'll get crud and dust from the desiccant filter alone and you'll want to prevent it from reaching your plasma cutter.

 

I have a roll up garage door that has some plastic diffusion film that doesn’t like sparks. Don’t ask how I know. So the table will go on the other side…

STV over Langmuir?

 

That's not a serious question is it?

 

You gotta get away from that flux core shit!

 

Just ordered the motor guard m26 filter

 

Those things are just too small to provide any real benefit.

 

It was from a grinding wheel! lol.

 

Should go Arclight Dynamics for a CNC table if you're ok spending a little more
