D3D CNC Torch Table

Hint: See CNC Torch Table Log for build log - pictures from FB posts.

Basics

• A CNC Torch Table that uses a slightly modified version of the Universal Axis
• Can use an oxy-fuel or a plasma torch
• Used for automation of torching/cutting of large or detailed parts - such as frames for 3D printers, the structure of heavy equipment, steel tracks, or heavy sprockets.
