Looks like you’re having a blast doing whatever you’re doing!!

 

Making a cnc plasma table.

I've been moving those 16 penny nails for years! Figured they would make great supports for the slats.

 

Nails trimmed. Slats in place.

Will need to leak test tomorrow.
Soapy water and compressed air will help with that.

 

Threw together a controller/computer stand. I got loads of this extrusion, might as well put it to use.

I feel better keeping the controller and the computer separate from the table. When not in use the stand will nest under and above the plasma table. Will grab some nice castors tomorrow.

Btw, I had 2 spots that were leaking. Welded those tight and retested. No soap bubbles.

 

Clicking down the punch list.

Work station built-Check

Water pan filled with water- Check

Plasma table leveled-check

Cables ran in a some what satisfactory manor-check

after i get a bunch of testing done, I'll most likely move the spare parts back to the table storage shelves.

 

To the road it goes.

 

What did you have to do to this one, I probably saw it but don’t remember.

 

It got a new Predator engine.

Also I reworked the choke set up. For some reason Toro likes to use the pull the knob up type choke cable. These have a bend in the cable just down stream of the knob. They always break from the constant bend. I install a linear version that is not factory but works better. I'll snap some pics in the daylight so it is easier to understand .

 

Here is a pic of the new choke lever installed. You can see the slot that needs to be cut in the face plate.

The empty hole us where the old choke knob resided.

 

A bit of progress and random babbling...wasn't even drinking yet...

 

Under carriage painted.

 

Sometimes it better to be lucky than good.

I had no idea that the span between the legs of the plasma table would be wider than a 4-ft wide piece of flat steel. I did not measure them when I built the plasma table.

 

Flipped over and test ran. At least I know it will lift a 12 ounces.
