    Thanks for the notice. Just saw video 2. He's got some really good ideas in there.

    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?

    I like that Jody's table is fully enclosed and has the drawer to empty it. That would help me keep the dust and dirt down in the shop a little better.

    Very nice! I'll be building one of these soon. Just need to make up my mind on the size. Need to be able to deal with full sheets of plate but don't want another big ### table taking up space in the shop.

    If you build a table to the size you want and have a parking area for the X axis to move to out of the way you can use the table for other things too. My new table is has 4’ across and 6’ for the x axis just for that reason. I can put a half sheet on it I do not plan to cut things bigger then that. My electronics is in a moveable cabinet so when stored I can move it anywhere I want. Also put it on steel casters so it can be moved if needed. Have a cover when you want to do other things with the table space.
    The water under the cutting area is to capture the sparks and this will cut down on the fumes and smoke quite a bit (90%). The water has chemicals in it to keep the rust from forming. This can be drained when you don’t need to too.
    have fun

    I like the idea to keep sparks from going all over the ground. The only thing needed to be added to the design would be a fan system to pull the smoke down and have it exhaust out of the room.
