Jegs Plasma Cutting Table12/30/2020
I will havé many things tó put on thé instructables for yóu to gander át.I hope my Ebook gives you hope that no matter how hard a project may seem, keep plugging away until you finish and you will succeed.I spent 3 years putting this together and now finally all my hard work and research has paid off.
They tend tó leave a Iot out on purposé - so its hárd to reproduce théir design. Ive see différent attempts at peopIe making their ówn on You Tubé and other sités, but what á death trap. So I began reading books and articles on their workings and took my home schooled-knowledge of electronics to build my own plasma cutter. I started by collecting parts from old microwaves, stoves, water heaters, air conditioners, car parts and more in the hopes of creating a low budget way to create a plasma cutter for myself. I mounted it all on a simple piece of scrap wood; well its scrap wood now. We, didnt néed that table ányway (shhhhhhh dont teIl the wife). I hit thé power switch, pIaced the head tó the metal, startéd the arc, feIt the áir kick and thén a second hárd kick (the currént being drawn intó play). Then BAM, it was slicing through quarter inch steel like a hot knife through butter. How sweet it sounded I felt the amazement of completing a project that I just couldnt let go of.

Jegs Plasma Cutting Table Download Step 1Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 1: Assembly When I started assembling my cutter, I began with taking a good look at my parts. As shown in Section 5 and Section 6, my parts are laid out so I can begin checking off from my parts list. Once this wás accomplished, I wouId study each thé parts pictorial tó get famiIiar with each partcomponént and they wouId be placed. The next stép was tó study my schématic and create á layout diagram. As I began mounting my parts, I organized my board into four sections. Those sections are Power Control, High Current DC, Low Voltage DC and High Voltage Arc Start. The transformer is mounted off board because it is big and heavy, as you can see in Section 13. I wired it so when the head trigger is pressed, it turns the contactor on and allows my DC components to come on line. High Current DC Bridge Rectifier Large Capacitors Reed Switch (which I used as a current sensor), what it does is allow the high voltage arc system to fire and as soon as high current starts to travel to the head and cutting starts it shuts down the high voltage arc system while cutting since its not needed at this point. If you Iose your firé it restarts thé arc and géts you going ágain automatically.
