New Toy - Hypothern 380

[SC74]

We picked this up off of the Pirate classifieds. It can be hooked up to 120 or 230. We hooked it up to 110V today and cut various metal thicknesses. We cut some 3/8, but we need new tips for it to make clean cuts on something that thick. I'm sure it will cut better hooked up to 220, but can't beat the portability of 110. If it cuts 1/4" hooked up to 120 then it'll do all we will ever need it to.

The Torchmate http://www.torchmate.com/4x4/index.htm would be a good addition to it but the price of the table is crazy.I am looking at lots of other ones so I will see who has the best prices.Now we have to make some more parts to pay for it all.:toothy12:

I think I saw on offroadfab.net where a fella had built his own CNC burn table. I'll have to see if I can find it again.

I have a friend of mine from FL that was one of the Hosts of the TV show Robot Rivals (Brian Nave) that challanged different colleges on building different kinds of robots for specific tasks that I may look up as this is right up his alley.He worked for several different railroad's automating all their lathes to full CMC machines building train axles before he got famous.Let me know if you find the link in the mean time.Now I got the bug to build Sh&$ again.
