Looking for CNC Plasma

Hello all,

I know that this is a DIY group, and I've been a member for many years and appreciated all of your insights, so I`m not sure if this is an appropriate topic. I'm interested in purchasing a CNC Plasma Cutter. My question is, where can I find a reasonable priced CNC Plasma in either a kit form or complete? I'm not opposed to some assembly, I'd even weld up a table to put it on. But I'm not into making my own power supply, gears ect…

I ask because I've got some work that will require a 4' x 4' work area and I've been contracting the work out, however, I'm looking at keeping it in-house lately. I think I understand THC as being able to follow the face of the metal that you are cutting. And because the nature of the parts, I will be cutting, flat ¼" plate steel, I'm not sure if that is necessary, however, I'm not opposed to adding it if suggested. I'd consider a Turnkey system, Kit, or some hybrid in-between.

My background is I'm comfortable with CNC as I have a Mill that uses Heidenhain, and a Router that uses Mach2, and I'm familiar with many others. I am, however, a true rookie when it comes to CNC Plasma.

Thank you in advance for your input.

Best Regards,
Rob, MI
