=Prototype 1=
The CNC Torch Table is used for making accurate and precise steel cuts. The machine is critical for fabricating most other GVCS Products, as can be seen in the [[Product Ecologies]]. The machine consists of 3 parts:
==lessons learned and methods used==
*the physical table
section reserved for those who worked on the first prototype.
*the electronics driving the torch<br/>and<br/>
==documents==
*the computer software.
add links to any cad files pdfs or images of the first torch table here.
The current push for the CNC Torch Table is that it is needed to create parts for the [[CEB Press]].

note particularly the circuit i found for an independent z-axis
control
CNC circuit mills: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/CNC_Circuit_Mill
. comparison of existing kits, and updated parts list on mantis 9 (
http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Mantis_9 )
 
recommended next steps:
1. get the candcnc.com 's dragon-cut 620-4 and implement on the
current table. utilize your same bearing setup for the z-axis.
2. build the mantis 9 , but use the snaplock electronics.
 
===Performance and Test Related===
Trapping, or how well the machine constrains undesired movement while cutting, must be measured, and a threshold should be determined. This information can be used while designing future tools and machines using the CNC Torch Table.
