• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

Probably should of started here

I painted it a bright green on the inside so I could easily see the parts that drop through but after a few cuts I realized that while there is no more smoke or sparks in the garage anymore it needs to go somewhere. The water is collecting everything and now the water is brown and the green is useless. Will have to look into additives and there different uses.

There is approximately 55 gallons in it which makes the water 3" deep
 
Try using either sodium nitrite or arm and hammer so clean, those will stop the rusting for a while. When I built mine I got a bag of sodium nitrite but haven't used it yet.. You don't need much apparently. Just look online for plasma quench recipes and you'll find some. The only thing I haven't found is a insecticide to add. You'll get some little bugs in there if you leave it..

The trade off for not having metal smoke in the air is a dirty table but that's a small price to pay, just try running it dry for an hour.

What plasma machine are you running?
