  • 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!

I would have a drum where the drain into it is at the top and the feed line to the basin is at the bottom so if you open the top drain it empties, to fill it close the drain and presurize with air forcing the water out into tank. It is not a sealed system so presure is not a concern.

Isn't the water meant to just catch the slag and dust I would not think it that critical, I would be more concerned about torch height but by the looks of the pic's thats covered.
 
I think the water also prevents warping of your parts as well as catching smoke, and helps prevent the rails from being damaged.

Paint and successful test cuts, definitely going to have to add water bath and some better ventilation, cut two small rectangular cutouts and the garage filled up with smoke, but that's what the garage door is for right?
 
Interesting! How about a close up of the torch head and some pics of the cut parts so far. ?
 
looks good! Does it have the torch height control working yet and is it a manual or automatic start for the torch?

Automatic start with a thc, the thc doesn't seem to be registering the arc voltage. I have it set at 50:1 so I think that's too small so I might change it over to raw arc voltage
 
Did you buy the thc or make it? I'm not that good with the electrical stuff and haven't tryed any cnc builds yet although the itch is there, I was thinking of a plasma table years ago and bought a Hypertherm 1250 with both hand and machine torch but stuff got in the way as it does, now I'm more equiped to tackle such a project but then there is the space thing that has to be dealt with first.
