    Capturing that last bit of plasma smoke from water table?

    I was wondering if anyone had come up with a good design for capturing that last bit of smoke from a water table. I run my water right up to the bottom of the plate and I recently put a vac hose on my gantry so it sits right over the plasma cutter (hand torch). I'm having some good results overall but I was wondering if anyone had a come up with a really design for collecting the smoke around the cutter head.

    That a good suggestion. I recall seeing a set up like that once. How do you handle material loading? What type of plastic material did you make it out of? Do you have problems watching the cut through the material and dealing with tip ups?
