    Volume 5 - Chapter 5 - Table Slats

    Table slats are cut and installed.

    The slats are held in-place with standoffs.

    These standoffs, can be replaced as need as they are considered consumables. This means you can add/move/remove as you see fit. Note that they also become mounting points for fixtures.

    Heavy Duty Table

    It was at this point that I decided to make a heavy duty aluminum table insert that could be used for milling operations.
    CNC Construction Set Build 3 Blog-_mg_2782-jpg

    These support brackets must be placed so that they fall between the slats.

    To further support the table, small bolts or studs can be inserted into some of the standoffs.

    Volume 5 - Chapter 10 - Everlast Control Cable

    Control cable complete.
    CNC Construction Set Build 3 Blog-_mg_3246-jpg

    With the control cable we can get the following signals from the plasma cutter to the CNC.
    ARC Start
    ARC OK
    Torch Voltage (Divided)

    Volume 5 - Chapter 11 - Mounting the Relay

    I originally was going to use this relay board to start and stop the plasma cutter. But, due to some safety issues with the relays activating while powering up, I decided against the.

    I decided on this Omron LY2 style relay. They are easy to replace and there are tons of manufactures that sell them.

    Volume 5 - Chapter 16 - Conclusion

    CNC Construction Set Build 3 Blog-_mg_3121-jpg

    The torch fires perfectly. But before I can actually cut anything we have to get our downdraft up and running. These will be covered in separate articles, that I will link to once they have been posted.

    Air quality is as important as air quantity when it comes to plasma cnc.

    I did a write up on the air requirements for the Everlast 50s plasma cutter and the CNCCS.
