Re: Hello
Welcome! For doing what you do a plasma table is must have. What size table are you looking for, and brands in mind or DIY?

Re: Hello
Welcome aboard! What size table are you looking for, and what is your total budget for table, plasma cutter, computer, software, etc? I personally own several of the Plasmacam products - one DHC2 4x4 and one DHC2 pipe/tube cutter. I have had great luck with these, and the Design Edge software is great! Of course there are tons of choices for tables, cutters, etc.
I would recommend Hypertherm for a plasma cutter. Many here use Inkscape, CorelDraw, Fusion 360, SolidEdge, and a few others for their design work - and many use SheetCam for producing their g-code for cutting. Are there any specific tables you have been considering? Good luck with your new cnc venture.
