Choosing The Right Cnc Plasma Cutting System
Many plasma cutting machines advertise claims that they are well built and can last for years to come, but only some are able to hold true to such claims. Plasma cutters that are well built with quality components will be the only ones that last the test of time.
There are several factors to consider when choosing a well quality machine.
Typically speaking, most shop needs require cutting plates with a thickness of 2″ or more for days on end. So it is important to choose an industrial quality table that can withstand constant, rigorous usage
The overall design should be fully-welded design with a large stable base that can support heavy weight. A stable platform or base is key to the cutting process. If the base moves or waivers during cutting you will have trouble achieving the precise cuts you require and the process will begin to consume your time. Choose a professional grade machine with a stable base. It will help ensure accurate and precise cutting to produce professional grade products.
Next, the plasma torch and the torch height control can be critical in determining cut accuracy. You can substantially increase efficiency with a plasma cutter that uses the highest quality automatic servo controlled arc voltage system. You will achieve a faster response, shorter pre-flow times and more precise integration.
Next, the components need to be designed and machined to work together. The rack mount and linear guides must work inclusively together. The spiral rack and pinion and linear drives must integrate smoothly, accelerating with ease and accuracy.
Your nesting application is another important consideration that will harness the full potential of a quality plasma cutter. You need it to be easy to set up and learn, simple and to the point. You don’t want to waste your time with complex applications that you don’t need or are to cumbersome.
Lastly, you should consider the overall expansion for future possibilities based on the features packed into the CNC machine. Does the application package include a combination of configurations and expansion features? A flexible machine package can take you a long way is. Consider your needs, long term intentions and overall goals when choosing a CNC plasma cutting system.
The bottom line is an accurate and durable CNC Plasma Cutter is the sum of it is parts. Choose a high quality CNC plasma cutter capable of growing to meet your company and client’s changing needs.
Unless you are living beyond your needs, spending a little extra buying a quality machine is typically the best bet.

CNC Stomp Pad 6 | CNC Plasma Cutting Video Tutorial | CNC
Last video we checked our g-code to make sure our program was correct. Now we go out to the shop and do some work. We zero out the CNC Plasma Cutter and start cutting our aluminum stomp pad. Once we are done, we look it over and note the slag or dross we will have to grind off next.

CNC Basics E-Course 3 | CAD | Learn CAD Video | CAD/CAM Tips
In this CNC Basics Video we go over CAD. CAD Stands for Computer Aided Design. During the CAD step we take our initial design and translate it into the computer. We do this CNC Step so we can change the design, resize it, save it, transfer it to someone else, etc. Recording our CNC Design into CAD gives us flexibility.
During CAD we learn we first design parts, then assemblies, then groups, then machines. We also learn there are different types of CAD Software. 2D, 2.5D and 3D. These types also come in different software packages from inexpensive to expensive. You can spend up to the sky if you want.
The trick is to match the CAD Software Capabilites with your CNC Needs. You don’t need high power 3D Modeling CAD if you make simple parts day in and day out.
Tomorrow’s lesson is CAM. Computer Aided Manufacturing.
