Anything welding

What he says!
I made the drive out to them last year and the guys couldn't even produce a good sample during the demo, I felt the tables were nice but the Lincoln cutting system is way behind the hypertherm!
I ended up buying the archlight dynamics 5x10 table with powermax85, I believe I'm in it a total of $24000 with the engraver and tube cutting attachment.

 

I'd really like to stick with Hypertherm myself and that price is a lot better than Lincoln. I'm used to million dollar Amada lasers so the Lincoln didn't seem to bad but if I can stay with a Hypertherm powermax and save some cash I'm happy with that.

 

something new from HF?

 

I checked those out last week. I think the appear to be very well built.

It makes me laugh seeing the craptastic Chicago Electric machines sitting right next to them. The build quality is completely opposite between the 2.

 

Cheaper than the Vulcan

 

DC Tig and DC stick though? Not incredibly useful

 

Not to me. But I'm a big fan of MIG.

 

Tried a set on my buddy's 3rd gen

 

There is only 1/4 difference between 1st and 3rd Gen boxes. Not enough difference to worry about.

 

I just wanted to try a set on a truck, I've built them on measurements from my 3rd gen with a shell. First time I've seen them on a truck in person. This is the 3rd set and they are headed to California in the morning I just wanted to make sure they were perfect.

 

I am one person and I ran out of Room with a 80'x80' if you have the chance and budget and zoning to go bigger do it.

Just saying.

Thing is all the equipment is there the concrete is all done.

unless your doing all the work yourself .

Adding another 20' will cost 1.5 times what the original expense was if not more.

 

That looks good

 

With my zoning 20x40 is as big as its going to be, I want to keep it here as long as I can because no mortgage and get the business started here. I can always lease a building later and move equipment.

 

Dude, are you pics are

Keep them coming please

 

Got to get these welded in and polished out.

 

That's gonna look great!

 

Been playing around with flux core for a little while and finally made the jump to gas, wow what a difference

 

Thanks to @stairgod i just ordered one of those Langmuir personal CNC plasma tables. Though it would be a great little table for me to crank out smaller projects. The next batch of these tables won’t ship until the new year so I have a little time to wait and time to get practice on autodesk fusion 360. Already have a few product ideas in mind. Can’t wait!!!

 

That is great to hear. Can't wait to see what you end up doing.

 

Last year my neighbors gave me a security screen door. I cut it up and built a cart out of it over the last couple weeks. It's not perfect but I'm happy with how it turned out for my first fab project.
