1 x 57BYGH56-401A NEMA 23 Stepper Motor.William Piotrowski has sent me a link to a (very cool!) time-lapse of his build - which shows in intimate detail the build process as it has progressed so far. The parts are suitable for both metric and imperial box section / nuts & bolts if you just pick the closest size.

You need to source lengths of steel box section from a Steel Stockholder and everything else you can buy on eBay / Ali-Express.Īll the parts need to be cut in 3mm or 1/8" mild steel A366/1008 Grade (or 304 Grade Stainless). It would also be scalable so you can build a table pretty much any size you like using the same laser cut parts. I thought "I'd like a plasma table" and thought I could build one too! I decided to design a table from scratch on Solidworks using Laser Cut parts which anybody could bolt together with no welding. This instructable really started on a Land Rover forum, One of the members (RobertSpark) was building his own plasma table but it was a bit complex and needed welding together. You can either attach the torch with zip-ties or U Bolts depending on how often you need to take it off. The mounting plate has been designed to be adaptable as possible.

This plasma table has been designed to work with whatever plasma torch you have whether hand-held or a full blown CNC Torch. It will cut nicely at 12mm thickness though. My new 40A Hypertherm claims 19mm cut thickness - and can indeed cut it (not very tidily though). My original 30A cutter claimed to be able to cut 12mm thick - but the most it could realistically cut was 6mm.
