Let's make a cool homemade product with our own hands, see if the plasma cutting machine cuts mesh, painted metal, and at the same time find out if it can cut off a finger. In addition, we will consider all the reasons why a plasma cutter does not cut metal well and how to fix it. And we will also hold a draw among subscribers.
Two plasma cutters got on the review. Foxweld Saggio Plasma 45 with RT-31 plasma torch. And Foxweld Saggio Plasma 45 PRO with S-45 plasma torch. Externally, both devices are similar. One and the other cuts metal up to 15 mm thick, the nozzle of both can be pulled directly over the surface of the part during operation. The version with the RT-31 plasma torch is cheaper, but does not have a pilot arc. The PRO version boasts contact ignition without an oscillator and a pilot arc.
- contact ignition without an oscillator - does not interfere with electronics, so it can be used in conjunction with a CNC. In addition, it is not afraid of water.
The pilot arc makes the PRO version truly universal - it easily burns through rusty, painted metal and allows you to cut any mesh. The device is in demand during installation, roofs and fences from corrugated board, in plumbing for tie-in pipes and air ducts, when cutting scrap metal, and even in car services. With the help of a plasma cutting machine, I want to implement a whole series of projects, each of which is able to recoup the cost of a plasma cutter in a few days.
The plasma cutter works in tandem with the compressor. The recommended compressor power is 300 liters per minute.
When connecting the plasma cutter, check the mains voltage. The voltage should not be lower than 196 volts. The settings are intuitive. The device has three modes. Metal cutting mode, mesh cutting mode, drawing mode. I dwelled on each of the modes in the video in detail.
The working pressure of the plasma cutter is 4-5 atmospheres. If you do not keep the air pressure within 4-5 atomospheres, or the voltage sags when cutting, you will go broke on consumables. Nozzles and cathodes can burn out in minutes. In the video, he told how to raise the voltage and how to fix the compressor pressure.
In the configuration with a plasma cutter, in addition to ruffs with clamps, there is also an instruction in Russian, a warranty card for 5 years. PVC hose 2.4 meters. From consumables, a pair of spare cathodes, the same number of nozzles, and a three-meter ground cable with a clamp. A plasma torch with a spring nozzle that, by holding the gap between the nozzle and the metal, helps to extend the life of the consumables. Sleeve length 4 meters. In a separate box, a pressure regulator with a moisture separator and a pressure gauge. For connection and operation, everything is included in the package - except for the fumlenta.
Let's move on to the most interesting. The PRO version cuts millimeter tin at a minimum current strength like butter. There is no need to strip painted tin to metal. Any pattern can be cut.
How would I buy and pay for it in 5 days. Plasma cutter Foxweld Saggio Plasma 45 PRO can be used in tandem with CNC. But before that, I would make some DIY from an old safe. Prepared a stencil for a chimney weather vane.
Prices for chimney weathercocks in stores bite, but the thing is really useful.
What is the difference between a weather vane chimney and a conventional chimney. With gusts of wind on pipes without a chimney weather vane, a reverse draft is formed. The chimney weather vane turns its back to the wind, which eliminates reverse draft. Moreover. The shape of the chimney increases traction several times. In addition to this, the chimney weather vane protects the chimney from birds that are not averse to nesting there and atmospheric precipitation.
What needs to be done to buy and pay for it in 5 days. Plasma cutter Foxweld Saggio Plasma 45 PRO. You need to make a chimney weather vane with your own hands. I glued the stencil onto the metal with glue. And he cut it with a plasma cutter right on the paper. Turns out pretty neat. The whole process of assembling the chimney weather vane is shown step by step in the video. I bought two bearings for this project. Bearings selected by the diameter of the tube and bolt. Bearings are not installed in ordinary weather vanes.
Now you know how to make a chimney weather vane with your own hands and how you bought it and paid for it in 5 days. Plasma cutter Foxweld Saggio Plasma 45 PRO
