CNC Plasma Cutting table for under $750

grabcad

This is my simple design for a CNC plasma cutting table that's incredibly easy to assemble and affordable. All the brackets can be manufactured using a small size CNC milling machine such as a 3018, no matter what. Without the plasma cutter, the cost of the entire setup comes out to about $750 or less. With the plasma cutter (cut50, featuring a pilot arc), the total cost is approximately $1000, and I also picked up a large air compressor that's 27 gallons for another $300. So, in the end, counting everything, the total comes out to be less than $1300. It's still significantly cheaper than any machine you can buy elsewhere. The machine is more like a desktop version (don't even think about putting it on your wooden desk or bench, you'll need to build a metal frame for it). After the machine has been built with all the wooden parts, I will upgrade all the brackets to steel (cutting from this machine itself).
