Newbiy's diy 4x4 table -Hobby Plaz 1000

[bob49]

Here is my 4x4 table, It is a diy gantry and controler kit made by 757 customs, It's called a Hobby Plaz 1000. It came with controler and computer, gantry and wiring. the rest is my own design. I added a logitrol jog pendent. the kit was 2,000 bucks which was a great deal. All you need is a monitor,keyboard and plasma cutter, and build a table. It comes loaded with sheetcam and mach3. Check them out at 757 customs.com. hope you guys approve of my design. Bob

bob49,
Looks like a nice build.

Great job, how does it cut?

How is the gantry driven, I assume Rack and Pinion? Would you mind showing more photos?

Thanks,
Mick

Nice looking table and shop You should be able to make some great cuts with that setup, looks promising

What are the specs. on steppers ?

Looks good! I would add 1 thing to it, a small plate of steel to block sparks from hitting your computer, just as a deflector. It only takes 1 spark to make a mess of things..

[bob49]

i thought i shielded it pretty well. top is way bigger than footprint of computer and cutting side is 100% blocked,but you are right only one spark will bring things to a halt.
