looking at buying a plasma table
any suggestions
I am a farmer/Engineer with a farm shop and owner of Devko Plasma Tables, hope I can answer any question you may have. To answer a couple on here, the common question of the 4x4 table size, sized for the following reasons:
1) Space required in the shop-we all need more shop space, having a larger table when not in use is a problem
2) Without a vacuum lifter or similar on a crane of some sort it is very difficult to load anything larger than a 4x4 sheet, thick metal is heavy, thin is awkward
3) The material can be indexed on the table using the software to cut 4x whatever length sheets etc
4) Cost of the table increases substantially, the drivetrain and table itself gets large and components must be sized accordingly which means more $$$$
5)This table is designed to cut brackets, signs, small parts in general, in my experience very seldom you will need anything larger than a 4x4 anything cut in a plasma table, those parts are usually sheared or get them outsourced to larger cutters out there, at least you'll have the software to design those parts which comes with the Devko Table Purchase
As far as the cost to justify a $4000.00 table, welders are $4000 these days, yet I see them in almost any farm shop, its the convivence that pays. Driving around to get all these parts custom cut will add up, plus once you have it, you'll use it more than you ever thought possible, you can make that money back with a couple custom cutting jobs which are easy to get once your friends find out you have one of these.
