  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Plasma cutter for under $300!!

    One thing I noticed from the photo...I wouldnt want to hook a fully charged air compressor line to that machine air system with just clear medical hose used in it. I would sure use a pressure reducer between a 150 psi supply and machine. I know a buddy trucker that used a chunk of that hose to...

    Plasma cutter for under $300!!

    Ohh ya, I forgot to mention my "farmer expedient" water table so I could break my rule about "no cutting in the shop"...an old 5 gallon pail with a shovel full of snow in the bottom. Clamp your work/cut piece to a length of flat bar that spans the pail mouth so it wont fall inside and presto...

    Plasma cutter for under $300!!

    I received my new machine (Faring 650 plus) on Friday and got it out to the shop yesterday for a test drive. For a super inexpensive machine compared to what they were when I started pining for one, this thing is awesome. I started out plugged into a 20 amp 110 service and cut 1/8 & 1/4 steel...

    Lathe setup and Projects to come.

    That would worry me with my lathe (same machine as yours but with different face plate)....I think I would gusset from bottom leg dividers up to center of the bench to prevent a leg fold-up for one reason or another.

    Welcome to Westwood Metalworks, What is he building in there?

    A buddy of mine built a grinder similar and came to the same conclusion, buying the wheels was 1/2 the solution to the build itself.

    Plasma cutter for under $300!!

    If there is anybody on the forum that missed the original deal of this thread like I did, you should check Amazon out again, there are some smoking deals even better that the original posting. You can grab a machine that claims to severe 4/5" steel for $150 (NT Arc) . I just snagged a bit...

    What's it worth?

    I would find the new sq ft price for the 1/2 top (after all, it is still in "as new condition) and 1/2 price the vise fron new, through the legs in as " welding experience" and price it that way.
