    Black Friday / Cyber Monday & First Plasma Cutter Options?

    I thought the computer and Alibre were for 3D printing 🤔.

    Black Friday / Cyber Monday & First Plasma Cutter Options?

    I love my Hypertherm. Great warranty support when it had an issue. I have miles of cuts on it in my cnc table and also have a hand torch that swaps out in seconds.

    Putting the cart before the horse…..Three Phase power question???????

    That sucks. Wonder what he'll do when he finds out your running a machine shop in your basement 😲.

    OSHA considers anything over 50 volts hazardous. So does NFPA but they only enforce over 100.

    You have a backhoe, wouldn't it be easier to just put in a outside entrance to the basement? You are just getting started 🤔.

    480 vdc from the panels in cold temps can kill 😲. Getting old has made me need reminders.

    Only $2500 for the xp12000. The rest were what I started with for backups. $9k of batteries if I bought them all though. It's a fun learning experience and so far I have survived.

    I took a couple pics in my solar backup power shed.

    Maybe it should start with, building a 2500 pound capacity elevator 🤔. Or possibly end with a divorce 😬.

    Mine just has a switch on it for fwd / rev and it works with my static converter.

    I turned ours into a hitch carrier for my BX. Perfect size.

    I think RWS has to go through the living room first with no elevator yet 🤔.

    I'm more interested in a video about moving a Bridgeport down the stairs into the cellar 😲.

    I have been running my Bridgeport on a static phase controller for 30 years without a problem but getting ready to switch to a VFD. For my CNC spindles I use Chinese VFDs. I switched to a single phase motor on my southbend lathe.

    Bad Welds?

    If it was built between 2020 and 2022 Kubota substituted many metals for whatever they could find. Maybe it's Chinesium. Time to find a professional welder.
