*tap tap* is this thing on? I'm Brad. I live in Central PA. I"ve been a welder for the last 18 years( my adult life) and always found myself cutting out multiples of the same item for projects. I have wanted a plasma table for a long time. I made myself a track torch, that helped me alot, but still wanted a CNC. I was looking at the small tables like the Langmuir Crossfire, but knew I would outgrow it really quick. So, I pulled the trigger on a Premier Plasma 5x10, and a 45XP plasma.
Now, the mechanical type parts, I can design, fairly decent. I have had some training with different CAD programs. When it comes to the artsy stuff, well... thats another story. I have been watching lots of Youtube

Re: New guy here, with a new table on the way
Welcome aboard, many here started like you have and found many answers to questions. As for the artsy stuff learn as you go and you will get there. I learn as I need and this causes me to focus more and the interest is keaner, and I seem to retain more. Not saying that is the best but it worked for me and YouTube is a great help as you see varied description of how others do things.
