DIY tube cutting attachment

Post by Scratch »

Just saw this video of a guy using skateboard wheels to cut tubing with his plasma table. Looks interesting!

I think I'm the oldest 10 year old boy on the forum...

that is very similar to Joe Jones YouTube video, I like the fact he used square tube in place of their sheet of metal. :HaHa :HaHa


And another similar design.

It looks like the new Plasmacam Genesis 4x4 table uses a similar approach of rolling the tube across the table. I'm not exactly sure how there setup works - it looks like some sort of cable or band going around the pipe and a roller on the bracket at each end of the pipe. Plasmacam should put out some demo videos showing their new table and attachments in action.
