plain ol Bill,

Nice sign ! :
What is the thickness of the metal, and what type of metal did you use?
What is the brand name of your plasma cutter X-Y table?
What is the brand name and model number of your plasma cutter?
How do you like the user interface of the plasma cutter X-Y table software program?
Does the user interface allow you to tweak the variables in the equations that run the X-Y table?
What computer (Mac of PC) are you using to control the X-Y table?
What interface bus connects your computer to the plasma X-Y table controller?
What did the plasma cutter X-Y table cost? (minus the plasma cutter)

This info would help me as I research my own purchase of a plasma cutter X-Y table.
Regards,

Sometimes I scratch my head over it too trying to figure out how to keep parts from dropping out.
