Great vid. A plasma cutter has been on my wish list for some time, but right now I could more use a good stick welder and then maybe more an O/A rig for what I've been wanting to do. Eventually I would like to grab one, though it may not be that nice.
It's kind of sad to hear the local shop was completely unwilling to work with you. It always amazes me how people would rather make ZERO dollars, vs drop the price to a reasonable level. More often than not, they'd still be making a little money on it, but instead of making $50 (which turns into a return customer, future service calls, etc..), they'd rather make $500 bucks. Then again, when your price is $500 higher than everyone else's, you're not gonna sell nearly as many, if any.
At any rate, congrats on the new toy! Looking forward to seeing the CNC table come together.
Speaking of CNC.... how's that mini mill? :biggrin:
