Trying to post pics here not sure how can anyone tell me how?
So I have looked at I think hundreds of builds here and on other sites dreaming of my own table and now it has officially started so I thought I should share it on here hoping it helps others like it helped me. My posts maybe slow as I will be building as I have time and money. So enjoy and feel free to comment and steer me in the right direction i am kind of going in blind here as far as electronics and stuff goes fabrication is not a problem though so lots of learning. Stay tuned lol

Ok so my gantry would not mark a square corner and was not plumb I messed around with it and ended up rebuilding it now it is good. I am planning on using arduino with grbl I had a hard time flashing the board but I think I have it now but the programming gcode sender would not work so I am trying grbl panel I down loaded it and I can not get it to open I have no idea why on another forum a guy said just click the application file well I can not find one so I am stumped if anyone knows what might be wrong please let me know. Thanks
Sorry for taking so long to reply have not been on here in awhilelol i ended up using a program called xloader to load grbl on to the arduino board all the open source software is at github so it was all working and moving around but when i calibrated the table i reduced the steps/ mm in the grbl settings and it won't run smooth i have narrowed it down to the drivers not giving enough current so i ordered kl 4030 drivers from automation technologies hopfully that will fix the missed steps and creepy noises lol
Anyone else building an arduino based plasma? I would like to know what to change in grbl to run the torch.
