Kind of simple and I know it's been done a thousand times, but I still get excited about building a new attachment for the JD 110 that I picked up earlier this summer. Having the receiver socket will open things up for some more cool attachments in the near future. And yes, it's a blast having a CNC plasma table for making things like this.

how often do you have to replace those grids on your plasma torch table

I'm still on the original set, although I have pulled them out and cleaned them up with an angle grinder and flap disc a time or two. I want to get some plate and make some new slats with peaks instead of just the flat top of the flat stock that the table came with.

Thanks!!! I've been a long time lurker and finally bought the JD 110 earlier this year. Just now getting around to making some goodies for it. You should check out the other post I just added for the ripper shank I built to plug into the receiver.

I've got the Langmuir Systems Crossfire Pro. The table has a 33" x 48" cut capacity. It's been a great little machine and I can't reimagine my home shop without it. That said, if I had the budget and the space I'd be pulling the trigger on a Spark Robotics XR-84. That table gives you a 4' x 8' cut capacity but it's a side loading table which in my opinion saves a ton of space in a shop. I've also heard a lot of good reviews about their controls and customer service.

i have the dynatorch 4x8 table myself. mine is 16 years old now (holy cow...i had to go back and look, i cant believe ive had it that long) and still on original slats. i too have hit them with grinder a few times. i can still flip them over if i ever need a new clean surface.

i still think of the table as a toy, as i dont make a living off of it. but boy has it come in handy over the years. i really cant imagine doing the jobs i do without it. last winter i made bed rails for a friends work truck. was lots of work, but alot of fun also.

I used to work in a sheet metal shop with a couple plasma tables. I created a program to cut out new rails with a sawtooth pattern. They seemed to hold up pretty well and didn't hold much slag. I could get a couple sets out of a 4x8 sheet.

but just go price out a 4x8 sheet of steel...youll need a loan. as i recall all my slats are 3/16". when i got my table i just had the local steel supplier cet my slats on their shear. took them no time to make them and they were cheap. no more.
