FIRST Plasma Cutter Project

[Dirtbmw20]

Well, here is the very first thing I cut out with my new plasma cutter. This was an OLD rear fender that came off one of my custom mini choppers that was just sitting around rusting. I cut out our street address in it and stuck it out by the road. Check it out...............

[Rubberdown]

Where you having a seizure while holdint that thing or what???

Just kidding, I'm sure you will get better with it ;)

[bmdjmd]

Like the machine, does this mean we can now start placing orders for custom cut shit???? hehehehehe does it do aluminum???

LOL,LOL, you ain't right. It was my FIRST time holding/using/seeing a plasma cutter ya know and it was done free hand. I'll get better with time.

Yea, you might want to give me some time to learn how to use this thing or all your stuff will look chopped up like my little fender does,lol,lol.

And yes, it will cut aluminum. It will cut ANYTHING conductive. Steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, stainless steel, and more I can't think of. I think I've read that when cutting aluminum the capacity is dimenished. Say it will cut 1/2" steel, it will only do 3/8" aluminum.

[Rubberdown]

Lee, I'm just messing with ya, you know that right. I'm sure within a week you will be postin pics of all kinds of shit you are cutting out and we will ALL be asking when we can expect ours in the mail :)

I have watched my 2 buddies use theres, they never let me use it for some reason, they only let me watch. Anyways, on any straight lines they want to cut, they clamp a straight edge on the part, and they always use a magic marker to outline what it is they are cutting.

[Dirtbmw20]

Oh yea Pual, of course I know you're just playing. Sorry if my typing sounded/looked defensive. I know we all just pick on each other in here, that's what makes it home. Shoot, I'de be more than happy to let you use /try mine out, heck, I need someone to show me how to use the thing. I done burnt the bottom of my foot with a piece of slag that fell in my shoe first dam thing today so I've had a burnt foot most of the day. Out there in a tee shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes !!!!!! Can we say stooooooopid.

[bmdjmd]

HEHEHE i cant wait for pics of better looking projects then i will put in my ideas for cutting.

[redchickabee]

well i just glad he got it so he will QUIT crying about wanting one:kiss:
:love: u

[Rubberdown]

LOL, ya I know Lee, I was just messin, hows the foot, I hate when that happens. What I get at work sometimes while making rubberdown stuff is hot chips flying through the air and getting into my shirt or landing on my arm, or even worse, on my lip (the lip only happened once I think) and what sucks is they are soooo hot when they come off the steel that they will burn into the skin. It smells pretty bad too, nothing worse than burnt skin or hair LOL.

Practice makes perfect.


well i just glad he got it so he will QUIT crying about wanting one

My wife will agree with you 100% on that.

[PoPoRZR]

I wish that worked....I would have loads more if i could whine and get anything i wanted...

Amen Brother! It sure as hell doesn't work at my house!

[Dirtbmw20]

LMAO. Yall just ain't whining enough. You know how sometimes the wife will just whine SO dam bad that you just do whatever she wants just so she'll shut-up. That's what the wife does with me, she just does it or "agrees" with what I want just so I'll shut the hell up. It don't always work like that of course but I HAVE been wanting a plasma cutter for a few years now.

[CinciMudLuvr]

Mine just throws back at me what I throw at her...."Want in one hand and shit in the other; see which one fills up faster!"

I hate when she does that! :laugh:

[Dirtbmw20]

Well.......... I DID whine about wanting one for many years BUT I also sold $960.00 bucks worth of junk on ebay to buy me one too. I ended up buying some Gorilla axles before I found my plasma cutter so when time came for the cutter she did have to spot me a few bucks to complete the purchase, but the lump sum of the purchase came from my ebaying junk.
