Re: Home made plasma cutter
cool, but that ---- scares me. that arc/plasma stream is way to hot. i might try this after i do some electrical engineering courses.

EE classes are fun, I've only had circuits and electromechanical power conversion but it helped a lot.

Re: Home made plasma cutter
awesome. slowest plasma cutter of all time. how thick does it cut?
$260? You can get 50 amp chinese cutters for sub $300 now. The project is on the yahoo welding group in detail. Looks like itd be a bitch to get it running well. |
Re: Home made plasma cutter
If you use that arc stabilizer circut (part with car coil) you should be able to turn your stick welder into a tig machine that can do aluminum.

If you ditch the $20 GM 3-pin module for a $0.57 IGBT that's rated to handle more power things get dirty cheap. Under $100 easy, and you can scale up the capacity of the unit for very little extra. FYI, I have three sets of china plasma cutter torches, they run $25 plus ship, along with the TIG torches and welder itself, from anyone who had their Smiley 3-in-1 take a steamy dump. The circuit is freaking simple, I'm not seeing anything beyond spark gap that needs to be fiddled to get it running well. I really like how he uses commonplace stove coils as resistor banks; you can find the real deal for a dollar at a local scrap metal facility, but that's plain crafty. |

That and he might not be able to get more then the three he has. Thats why I asked, so SHUT YOUR FAT ------- MOUTH because you probably read your post out loud while you type it, because your such a ------- idiot. |

Re: Home made plasma cutter
I can't say I looked any harder than the three I have.
I'd check the real welder forums, there are people who pop up there looking for support when they can't get it anywhere else. Also, hit up our CDM welder sponsor Giant, he's expressed familiarity with some of the CDM brands I imagine he's seen a few floating around. :) (if you don't have any luck within a month, hit me up, but I'd like to keep these for myself) |
Re: Home made plasma cutter
Bookmarked. I have a ---- housed Italian welder that's good for nothing more than the inverter. I was wondering what I was going to do with it. ;D
