That looks like a lot of work sitting on the floor. Great build!

Soooo I see everyone posting up their table builds and thought I would join in since I have a little extra cash laying around.
As it sits I just purchased the metal for the table ($1098) total for the metal and of course ill need more for the slats since im doing a full water table. this will be a 5x10' table.
Also placed my order for linear slides for both the x and y axis, along with the chain system for the wiring and other misc bearings.
I figure ill get the table built and linear rails mounted when they come in , water table plumbed to the pump and tank then send off my cad files to get brackets and whatnot waterjet cut.
im off work the rest of the week so ill get busy cutting and welding tomorrow, i have to pick up another bottle of argon and get some more filler rod...and yes this will be 100% tig weldednot that i need more practice...its the only welder i have sadly

Anything is possible, just build it!
nothing fancy yet just a basic table all nice and square all edges welded up so far. just need to add bracing around the bottom edges, built up the top half and enclose the water table portion...
my linear rails and other stuff was shipped today, should have it within the next week hopefully.
btw table went together pretty quick, not rushing really just taking my sweet ass time and i have about 4 hours into it so far. my 3 axis vise really came in handy
i know i havent mentioned much on the electronics but ill be using keiling stepper motors, reduction gear setup, torch height control, most likely the hypertherm powermax65 or 85 if i can manage to keep the plasma under $3500 shipped for the 85 then ill pull the trigger on the hypertherm85. going hypertherm is a no brainer...your cuts will only be as good as the plasma you use regardless of anything else in the build....
excuse the welds, i know the color isnt perfect but still fine for what im doing....big ass table kinda wears you out when its all TIG welded.
the middle support will have more to it than i took pics of, once i finish the middle support ill take some pics, kind of an oddball design but its how i wanted it.
the most basic cad drawing of the table, lots more parts obviously but this is the design of the table by itself.
While doing this table, i have some stuff drawn up to make a table for my bandsaw. kinda tired of bending over everytime i use it only to have tubing and whatnot fall off the saw or leak lubrication/coolant everywhere. i ended up changing my cnc plasma table from the original design after i bought the metal so i have quite a bit extra now!
i should have some pics today of the saw table also
What is with the extra tubing in the middle, front of the table?Originally Posted by gurew

that will actually be the rear of the table, i have some 6" .120 sheet, has an oval with a flat spot where my cable track mounts, thats where the cables and whatnot will tuck under the table without being all over the place. pretty much nothing outside of the machine to snag or trip on. the sides will be enclosed most likely after the entire table is built
slowly adding material, not welded fully on the lower most pieced i just added, just tacked
Excellent idea!

so you can get a better idea
That reminds me, I need to start thinking about obtaining some cable carriers. Where are you getting yours from?
so you can get a better idea
BTW, that looks great!
