What are your intentions?Do you just want to run the plasma table?Then you can get away with an air compressor,angle grinder and a good workbench.Want to fabricate?If you only want to work with steel then add a good MIG welder,good bench grinder,hydraulic press,couple of drills cordless and corded,drill press ,floor type belt/disc sander,vice ,at least a horizontal bandsaw with roller tables at both ends and an assortment of clamps. If you want to work with stainless steel or aluminum add a Tig welder to the list along with alot of practice.
And of course a cold saw would be nice,a lathe,a milling machine,press brake,metal brake etc etc etc etc.
All depends how far you want to take it and how much dedication you want to give learning how to use everything. |
