Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: water vapor plasma

From what I can see, this url leads to the Co. that makes it:
http://home.ptt.ru/alplaz
What concerns me is that the cutting speed looks slow, at
3mm per sec. but the flame width is only 1mm, I'm also
concerned about the consumables. They also state max thickness of metal @
4mm.

At the Harbor Site... (below)

What boggles my mind is that this has popped up quietly. It is light
enough to Gantry Mount. Runs on the power of two hair dryers, and
puts out a beam slightly cooler than the surface of the sun.

It does not get into how precise the beam is - or how accurate the
cutter... But at $600 - it is worth checking out.

It plays into the Gantry Mount interchangeable ENM-Plasma cutter idea
very well.
