I have the chance to buy a CNC router table 1.2 x 1.2 m with PC for a good price, All works.
The question is can I convert it to use plasma torch instead ?
Loads of info for going plasma to router, but nothing I can find going the other way.
I am assuming it should be OK as the plasma torch does not touch the metal to cut so there are no forces to hamper travel as with the router bit, and the plasma should be lighter.
Probably have to protect the track from splatter but otheriwse I think it should be OK.
Or am I missing something ?
