What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

Good Morning Forum members,
Starting a build on a planned 4 X 2 cnc plasma table and had a question as to a gantry height for the build. I will be using 2 inch box tubing @ .120 wall for all the major components on the table (legs, table, gantry, and gantry riser). Will have a 4 inch deep water pan with 3 inch slats flush with top of pan/table top surface. I am planning to use a straight cnc torch not a handheld style to mount on the Z lead screw and wanted to know if there is any standard height for the bottom of the gantry cross tube to clear the table top when building (6, 8, 10 inches, etc.) ? Maybe someone knows what the Plasma Cam has for clearance on theirs?

You might want to contact Tom Verity he's on the weldingweb forum. He has built quite a few CNC tables and also sells plans for $20.00. Seems to be very knowledgeable about them. http://weldingweb.com/showthread.php?69 ... uter-table his user name is acourtjester
