Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows of an affordable NC 2 axis table on the market. Something of this sort would be great coupled with a plasma cutter. I know there are big commercial rigs, but hobbyists ought to be able to dabble in this as well. Thanks.

I have been looking at a product called burntables. They have some very nice tables. Here is a video of their tracer set up that is standard on all tables. It actually traces an existing piece then copies it on the metal.

It might appear overwhelming, but when you have more time than money, it's something to consider.
