RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CNC PLASMA

Hi Bill,

Sorry, I haven't got a chance to deal with HobbyCnc. Someone in this group would probably provide you with a better lead.

If I was to build this machine, I would check out on the following:

1. Software Specs: http://www.deskcnc.com/frame1.html
.or. Turbocnc with other public domain G-Code generator.

2. Xylotex Stepper Driver Http://www.xylotex.com.

3. 3 (X,Y, and Z-axis) Nema 23 or 34 Stepper motors.

4. High Speed Parallel/Serial IO card (assuming Pentium I or 486 machine) & parallel or Serial cable.

5. Plans for building the Table 48x48 and component to attach your torch to it ?

Regard,
Ben

Hi Bill,

You are at the right place (http://www.hobbycnc.com/) and the product that
you want to read up is called "DESKCNC". It's allow you to scan in images
and form toolpath for your new Plasma NC.

Best Regard,

HELLO
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ON THIS SITE. I AM NOT A MACHINIST NOR DO
KNOW MUCH ABOUT CNC. WHAT I AM, IS INTERESTED IN BUILDING A CNC
PLASMA CUTTING TABLE. I HAVE FOUND A SITE THAT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS A
PACKAGE THAT IS WITHIN MY PRICE RANGE (http://www.hobbycnc.com/) . IT
HAS 125 OZ. STEPPER MOTORS IN IT. I WANT TO BUILD A 48" X 48" TABLE.
I DONT KNOW IF THESE MOTORS ARE STRONG ENOUGH NOR DO I KNOW IF THIS
PACKAGE WILL DO WHAT I WANT.
I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SCAN IN IMAGES AND TURN IT INTO A
CUTTING PATH FOR MY PLASMA TORCH. I WOULD ALSO APPRECIATE ANY KIND OF
ADVICE ON LOW BUCK TIPS THTA ANYONE MAY HAVE FOR THIS PROJECT. I HAVE
SEEN THE TORCHMATE AND OTHER SITES LIKE IT. WAY TOO MUCH MONEY FOR ME.
I HAVE THE TABLE AND LINEAR MOTION STUFF FIGURED OUT BUT I AM NOT
MUCH IN THE WAY OF COMPUTORS.
THANKS FOR ANY HELP
BILL C
