Knowing Matts other stuff i CAN actually imagine how beastly.Having seen the metal and held that X-axis motor it's going to be a beast, the pictures don't fully convey just how beastly

I wondered what you were branching out into...lol. same stuff just faster.I know it sounds strange but just small wood products which is what we use the two current machines for.
It's just that we do a lot of engraving and because the frame of the current Tekcel is not that stiff it means the engraving is very slow compared to the cuts.
To engrave really fast you need a very heavy and stiff frame so that it can withstand the rapid direction changes without setting up vibrations.
Why do they need to be 3.2 metres.? Did you not say its an 8 x 4 foot table?Yep, actually need to cut them down to 3.2M.
It'll take a bit of effort to induce harmonics in that by setting your speed a bit high...
Here you are mate. Some settings for ya.Next job will be to cut up some 150x20mm flar bar to cap the legs and give me space for a screw jack each side. I also need to close the ends of the top cross member but I need to recess the plate as I need access to fit a bolt up through, I have some 6mm sheet which I will plasma out some plates from.
Then I need to build two more!
Just a reminder:

It’s veeeeeeery spattery Matt on the flat welds.
Bring up those settings to give you 250amps in full spray.
Your machine is either way out of calibration or your stick out very long.
28v at 12mtrs a min with a 1mm wire doesn’t equate to a shade over 200 amps.
Verticals look really good mind.
Are you getting any movement due to the welding?
Having seen your servos I guess the cutting head is going to be the thing struggling to keep up.
Yes radius’s on large box can make full spray right on the edge. In this case if the prep is big enough I’d root it first with 180-200 ish amps then go into full spray to cap it. Saying that I don’t suppose it really matters. It’s gonna get cleaned up it’s not falling apart I’m been over picky really. It’s a perfectly acceptable job. Better settings would simply give you less time cleaning up that’s all.Yes lots of spatter.
I think it was more like 234Amps on some later runs with the same settings.
I was deliberately trying to keep it out of spray transfer because due to the large radius on the box there where some largish gaps.
Due to this I was moving the pool down one edge and then back up and across the gap and then down the other edge (like and upside down U).
On the edges of this motion I was getting a lot of spatter (I was on the higher inductance tap).
The Lincoln shows average current from the last run so it's not going to be sport on due to the starts and stops.

If you fancy giving it a go try these.I'll give that a try on the next one, what would you suggest on the root settings wise?
TBF I will be getting close to full pen welds because of the radius on the joints and I really don't need it. The top beam sits on top of the legs so there's no stress through the welds and the bottom cross member is just a stiffener so the welds are seeing very little loading.
Having said that the box can take it so why not weld it to support 200 Tons.
