For those with a Plasma cutter...

[Haywire]

BUY A ROLLER GUIDE. Make it a priority. The ease of use is greatly improved with one over the wire standoff that comes with the torch. The stance is wider which makes it more stable side to side and that means less tendency to tilt the torch. My cuts in 1/2" plate are much cleaner and straighter with no dross at all. With the wire standoff, I was wobbling a bit side to side and that caused a lot of dross underneath.

I am really pleased with mine as you can tell. This is the one I got. It fits Trafimet S45 torches which come with the Everlast PP50 as well as the Harbor Freight and Eastwood cutters.

Can you please measure the ID of the ring please?

I've never used one of those, looks very interesting! I guess I'm just too old school, I generally use a burning bar. Do the wheels help keep the torch going in a straight line, so you wouldn't need a straight edge?

So why the burning bar????

 

[Shield Arc]

Your kidding right?

 

[grsthegreat]

Your kidding right?

no, why would i be kidding? a cnc machine would burn that job real easy

I am guessing he uses it with the O/A torch. And for things that wont fit on the table. And for things it isnt worth setting up the table for.

You must have a lot bigger CNC machine than I do. My machine will only cut 3-inches in height, so something like this won't fit under the torch.

I cant tell how tall that thing is..i thought the top was removable and just on stands.


what the heck is that.

I have cut large objects by removing my 3/16" slats and placing objects up to 36" tall within my table.

what the heck is that.

A grapple off a BobCat I converted to fit my little tractor. I use my plasma just like an O/A torch, being as I have it, it cost a lot less to use than the O/A. Anymore all I use the O/A for is heating, or heat shrinking objects back into shape.

Holy crap... i would have NEVER thought thats what i was looking at in those pictures. So you were just lightening the load. Nice job by the way..that looks great

 

[Shield Arc]

That's because it was upside down.:laughing:



I had to cut the holy crap out of that thing so my little tractor could pick it up!

Thank you!
Would you believe me that I got this gooseneck under my table to burn these horse heads out?

Yeiks.... but its sure slick looking.

It's a gooseneck adapter, converts a bumper pull into a gooseneck trailer. I've built a few of these so far.

VERY cool..... i wouldnt mine doing that to my own gooseneck so i could fit my new larger tractor...but the axles are too light duty.

 

[deereman75]

The horse heads are a nice touch.
