Welcome aboard christo702! What kind of table and plasma cutter did you buy, and what cad/cam software are you using (or learning to use) to create the cut files and g-code for your table? Please feel free to post some photos of your setup.

I will look forward to seeing some pictures of your new machine, shop setup, and some of the projects you are making. Which version of SolidWorks are you learning to use?

Thanks,
David

That bbq grille turned out great! Nice video. What kind of table is that?
It looks like a really nice one.

Also - which version of SolidWorks are you using?

You are doing a great job, and you are well on your way to being a real asset to the people of your community in S. Africa. Wow! Cutting and cooking on a Bar-b-que only three days after receiving the plasma table? That has to be some sort of record!

I have SolidWorks and Fusion 360. They are both difficult to learn, but perhaps more difficult for a person with a nearly non-functional short term memory. I learn something on te software, and if I don't work with it on a daily basis, the learning disappears, and I have to start all over again.

Good luck with your new machine!

Joe
