How's the extraction?

A major improvement Matthew :thumbup:
No longer does the welding shop fill up with a noxious fumes. Not sure about that pile of bodies accumulating outside though :lol:

I'm loving this plasma cutter :ddb:
This mornings exercise - try it out on 1.2 mm Zintec mild steel. I'd done a little trial yesterday to optimise cut speed, and this morning the idea was to make a little simple box.
- Draw it in Autocad - save as a DXF file
- Import into SheetCAM and produce a G code TAP file
- Import into Mach3 and make a flat box !
- Bend it on the Edwards Box & Pan folder
Absolutely straight forwards - it took less than an hour including taking the pictures and writing up this thread - magnificent - and no laying out bend lines, or having to make corner notches that go squiffy
--- I love it :clap: :clap:

Andrew, you got the over cutting problem sorted! The 29mm hole can't be far away!
All the best, Matthew
awemawson:
Matthew, I'll cut you a range of holes and you can keep them in stock for when you need them :lol:
