Hi Carl
Welcome to CNCzone
Less than two years ago I couldn't even spell CNC.
I found this site, & with the help of many members I was able to build a plasma table & figure out how to operate it.
Mlaws plans were very inspirining & he also built my controls.
Tom has said there is no such thing as true "plug & play" but his customer support is fantastic & he will see you through the rough spots that seem to happen to most builders.
You will of course need a CAD program for patterns, CAM to make your Gcode & a control program (Mach or other)
Anyone who can put together automatic welding systems can likely figure out the above.
Lots of help is available on the forums here.
(Sure do like Arcair, with earplugs)
