Heres my water tray, layed it inside and tacked it first

Then flipped it over and welded the back side, I was stitching it about 4 - 5 inches at a time skipping around, havent finished dont know if I really need to Im gonna seal the inside in the corners fairly thick so I dont know.

As you can see I had some overspray = )
After the trays out and back in Im gonna have to do some touch up.... I had to make it as wide as the rails didnt I, I just had to....

and the bow in the pan worked out perfected it sags in the middle! Ill just have to shim my middle slat holder accordingly and all will be good!
and Matt how far over the front of the table do you guys hang your water trays? I set mine flush to the rails so 2.50" past but I think it could go a little more, your 4x8 products picture looks a little more.

NIce, the only problem i see is the weeds growing in the joints in your concrete. LOL

ya well I can only do so much.. get up at 6 go to work come home stay in the garage til 9 30 go to bed... er used to burn them out with a flame thrower thing you hook to a propane tank. last year I scrapped along the cracks with a flat shovel youd be surprised how big of a pike you get when you do the whole driveway

Played musical benches, the short one was in the corner and had a 2' L on it. Thats why in some of the other pictures you may have seen a bench that didnt line up or was crooked I unscrewed it and was laying against it.
Dont know what to do with this old welding bench with the vise on it, I have a spot in the corner opposite of that side door thats open. theres 1 compressor in the corner because that corners obviously a dead corner, then a crappy clarke blasting cabinet. Then another compressor that needs sold or moved somewhere. Id put it under the blast cabinet but for now Its half way in the middle of the floor and makes like a maze walkin in but w.e.

Ill prolly use the bench where the pc chairs at for the monitor and keyboard .
The wall with the breaker box and Clock and stuff behind the poster I wanna put a flat screen tv on = ) as soon as this thing starts printing money I can turn the cable back on.

Hmm somehow 4 yrs ago I installed that light. took the bulbs out because I didnt need it, and the other fixture from walmart had a burned cord. well 2 weeks ago I put lights in, and today somehow its perfectly over the top of my table...Its like I knew

woot slat holders are hear... hey who sells plasma cutters and gives laser cut slat holders out... lol. time to go cut some slats.
wickedinhere
Hey stop rubbing it in! LOL PICS?

All electronics shipped today. Two boxes headed to each of you fine gentlemen. Oh the slatholders...who says they are lasered ;)
Mav68erick
well I made my x axis 58" somehow the slat holders where the length I needed dunno how that magically happened. I was worried Id be short because I thought I made it longer. I Almost cut them and put the slats the other way to Slide material on easier but I didnt wanna cut anything. Then I seen Creepys youtube vid and he did turn them opposite, oh btw gonna steel his roller idea = )
I had to shim the middle holder because my pan bowls to to center, I didnt have to but I did.
I have an idea to make clamps that you can undo and move around and clamp to your angle iron frames, because I noticed the material moves if you wiggle it, dunno if the air pressure from the torch will move it, or the thermal expansion moving the slats will have an effect but all I know is smaller pieces and aluminum Id be worrier. So moveable adjustable clamps with different sized fingers, think of those clamps they use to hold dies down or material to be milled but smaller. And also if you have 3 you can set to on 1 axis and will be adjustable to where you can square up material on, and then 1 on the other axis as a Stop so if you cut multiple sheets once I make one Ill tweak it, possibly be the first thing I can sell muhahahaha wicked ill give you a buddy deal 1 for 99 dollars or 3 for 100 ok = )
At first I didnt think these were U ed enough, so I moved them to the next slots, it worked and it didnt some would pull slightly up and then my test material I tossed on would rock on it like a teeter totter so I moved them back, a big sheet of 1/4 would be fine but Im still gonna do my clamp idea for cutting things that matter. Decorative stuff I wouldnt care about to much but like I said before I worry about everything!

I someone also managed to have exaclty enough 2.5 slats to cut. I asked for 10ft but got 12 footers, so now I go a bunch ends left to figure something to do with them, Guess if I make my clamps can cut shit outta em.

Yeah this looks ghetto, I wanna get a machine torch just so it looks more professional plus, I wanna be able to shear stuff for easy disposale with the hand torch or sheer full sheets down if I have to.
[IMG]http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r217/Mav68erick/Plasma/289237_1962640795092_1515019645_31828715_1209193_o1.jpg[/IMG]
I just tacked the slat holders on the ends 1 in the middle and then once inbtween them, I screwed up and now I cant seal the ends where it butts against my angle = P so Im gonna have to take a decent size cut off wheel and cut down so I can seam seal it because I didnt fully weld the bottom, no point really since I dont plan on water getting between the sheet and the angle.
I really though I woulda had more room from the top of the slats to the edge of my angle iron.
3" - 3/16 for thickness 2.812" - .080 for 14gauge = 2.732 - (.120 ) for slat holder 2.612 - 2.5" for height of slat = .112 ... hmm guess the water will barely touch if its perfectly level
Mav68erick
Oh plus a tip pre bend your slats one way, then install them the opposite to add spring to them.
Just remembers I gotta order some more consumeables,
I think I need mechanized shield and then I think theres a different swirl ring for that aswell. I had it all saved but never ordered it.
you got a tracking # on them boxes = )

Hurry up and get it figured out so i dont have too! LOL

1. Dont panic its easier than you think
2. Install the DTHC card like you would normally, this card has a plug with green ends and a 1/4 cable that attaches to it that runs the the littel black box. From the box you runt he yellow cord to the control box.
3. You will need to solder two wires to the lower 2 pins on the Z axis switch. Then run this through the cable carrier giving yourself ample length. These two wires hook to (ZHOME) on the card in the white control box.
4. Hook the motors to the motor mounts, next slide the gears on using a little lock tite and make sure the gear is in the rackand getting good contact then tighten the setscrew.
5. Use a wire snips to cut a little off the spring ends and then attach the springs from the motor mount to the mount brackets this sets zero backlash.
6. Run your cables through the cable carrier make sure to mark X,X,Y,Z on the cables so you know you can use X as A or the other X as A axis.
7. Once the motors are on and the card is hooked up and the Z limit is wired your basically done except for software install.
wickedinhere
Sounds easy
Mav68erick
i was only confused about the different dthc setup pdfs.
I installed the motors installe the Dragon aio got to jog the table. then I speed up the feed rate and ran my A axis wire over with the y AXIS GEAR 111!!!
LUCKILY it didnt do any damage..
jogs pretty good, definetly like you said need lock tite those set screws on the pinions gears dont hold for shit.
I gotta get some aluminum to mount my cable carrier right now I just ran a hook in the ceiling and dangled the wires down with some slack to test.
I have nothing with the dthc hooked up just the motors.
I notice on the CandCnc setup it says Digitial something probe I obviously dont have one, Just the enclosed box and the open circuit board to mount in my plasma I assume thats all I need
I can wire up the arc ok or divided volts to that without a cpc port and hand torch, just a little weird because they say different things in different setups some has the same some dont.
I even noticed creepy drilled extra holes in his Control box with wires running out of it, Unless he mounted some other cards in it or because its an older system,
I just wanna be sure I got the 2 cards I need for the cutter - cpc port and hand. I did get a splicing connector that I prolly wont use since theres only one and do something different in splicing into my purple / orange wires.
also my xbox controller shows up in mach doesnt error but Doesnt actually jog anything. I read the instructions about some file but Where my cutters at have to internet connections so Ill worry about it later have to throw the file on a flash drive or something.
so I got the ThcSensor-PWN Module
I assume obbviously the DTCH II expansion in the main box
and I think I have the Rav01 voltage divider, not sure its an option. If my powermax65 has a way to get divided volts inside then I dont need it, so I guess I need to find out where to hook it up if it does
guess I got the divided arc controller after looking it up. So I guess I got what I need.
wish I got just a dam machine torch and cpc machine, that way I could use there plug and go plug = ).
but just to make sure I dont need the sensor probe right, because its the first thing that pops up on all 3 of there setups.
Tomorrow im gonna get some alm angle to let my cable carriers rest on the Y axis one I was thinking about and there was just nothing I had laying around to make it outta thats why I did the hanging of the cable method atm. But atleast I got to see it move.
Mav68erick
seems like the current probe adds a similier and cleanner arc Ok setup.
