Anything welding

Much better . Clean is better for pictures.

I thought you were using the 2 Meter leads through the side of the case.

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb.

I'm betting I can count on one hand the number of peeps who understood this post.

 

Yes, the leads will remain poking through the side as you have to manually tap into your plasma cutter for voltage

Here I circled the areas (one is hidden behind the front bezel) depicting where in the board I tapped



The new VIM box will be taped to the side of the panel with double sided tape and the leads will plug in there

The CPC plug in the back will be used only for torch on and off

Other plasma cutters aren't even CNC-friendly and you have to tap in for torch on and off as well as voltage

 

I thought my post was already the dumbed down version

 

@koditten or was it because I explained it in a dumb manner that was confusing

I can take criticism!

 

I would drill a hole in the case and use a insulated grommet when you receive your new VIM box.

I used to install machine torches where they were not an option and make the internal connections on many different machines.

All part of getting tables set up in the field so much better then oxy- fuel cutting radiographs I don`t miss that

 

That is an excellent suggestion; I've done that shit for car stereo installs through the firewall but didn't even think about it here

Mainly cause the vents I poked the wires through have smooth rounded edges

 

I think we were having our on conversation I under stood what you were saying.

 

As long as you were able to what else matters!

 

Gotcha

Yeah if you come back to this thread on the wrong page, things are way out of context

Have to go back to the beginning!

 

The thing is I always do then read through all the threads starting with the last one last time I logged on.

On all the threads I follow!

 

Fuck that's a lot of reading

 

Keeps my Brain working to a degree.

Now the temperature is dropping into the Forties over night. My Brain works better!

 

I used some salvage yard door bumper grommets when I wired mine.

 

See that looks good

 

She's running raw voltage now



I guess I'll run it this way and set aside the new module that's on the way as a back up

 

And total failure







I need more tonnage, and a smaller bottom V





What would've been a bed stiffener is just more scrap

 

Have you considered making pre-cuts on the bent area? It can be welded in after for structural integrity.

I've been doing that; trying to eliminate doing that



The goal is to speed up production

 

Nice. Have you tried reducing the cuts to say 3 - 4 per side and about .5-1'' in length?
That would make welding them in a lot quicker and the bends sharper.
