Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] home made 12x24 gantry plasma cutter on ebay

Thanks Doug,

I built it. It was really fast with about .015" resolution the way I had it set up. It is the largest envelope I could build with
stock available L series timing belt.

It worked great for about 6 months. I had cut many small parts and one day I was running about a 15 minute cut and the x axis
burned up. Ruined the part. OOPS. I had the current set too high... Duh

I am worried that some of the people bidding on it may think it comes with more than it does.
