Hi all...I'm new to the forum so this may have been asked before?
I'm hoping to build my own CNC machine for use with a plasma cutter. I've tried to find out information as to which type to buy....I'm on a limited budget like everyone......it's only to cut max 6mm mostly 3mm or even thinner. It seems to be important whether it uses HF (may interfere with the CNC electronics??) and whether I need a non contact starting torch??
Hypertherm seem good but VERY expensive:-((
I'm currently looking at the Blueweld 34K as it has a built in compressor and a pilot flame.......would this be OK??
I'm originally from Liverpool but have lived in Spain for last 8 years and it's very difficult, and expensive, to buy here so will either buy from the UK, USA or even China!!
Any advice very welcome.
