Talking Mikemph build

Few pics of the bits I have made so far. It has been fairly straight forward as a few years back a friend and I made a CNC plasma cutting machine.

I am trying to get everything made ready so when my chopsaw and wood comes for the build table and chassis I can crack on and get it made ASAP.

They look really neat Mike, rack extensions look the part.

Can you and your friend make me a cnc plasma machine, sick of waiting for parts to be cut all the time.

Keep it up....AndyH

Well the machine belongs to work but it was our project when we were apprentices. We are considering buying it when the time comes, as we only have jobs for about 2 years.

It still needs some more time spent getting the cuts perfect, which will come when we get the torch height controlled properly.

If you ever get really stuck for any parts that don't need to be perfect, give me a shout I'm sure we could sort out something.
