Re: Is my SMALL plasma table idea nuts?

I never really was concentrating on only mounting the table on the
sheet, even though that's what I said in my original post. The main
idea is that because of my limited space I wondered about the
viability of partially plasma cutting a design and then moving the
sheet sheet relative to the table and continuing to cut the same
design with another subset of matching g-code (actually I only plan on
needing designs larger than the proposed table size of 2' X 3' rarely
anyway). I can work out the actual mechanics of attaching the table to
the sheet or the cutting table after I try it.

I have already experimented with an engraver design using MDF, drawer
slides, standard threaded rod, etc. and the accuracy and lack of
backlash is rather amazing. Considering that the kerf width of my
plasma cutter is MUCH bigger than the error of my engraver design it
seems to me that a cheap (but strong) plasma table design should
satisfy my needs (which aren't exceedingly demanding) as long as it
fits my working space....... so here goes!
