CNC Plasma Table Operation - 15 May 2026

Metalshop
1

This class will go over the safe operation of the CNC plasma cutter. After this is done each user will operate the plasma table and cut out a design.

This class will not cover any of the design or program (G-code) generation. A sample program will be provided.

More information on the CNC plasma cutter can be found on the wiki along with videos to setup Fusion360 for use with the CNC plasma cutter at MakeICT: CNC Plasma Cutter - MakeICT Wiki

Please wear appropriate clothing for the class. I encourage the use of PPE, of course. While it is common to find people, myself included, hot work in short sleeves and shorts, it is not a best practice, so for the purposes of encouraging safe hot work, I would like everybody to wear the following if possible.
Long sleeve shirt - preferably not synthetic
Long pants - preferably not synthetic
Closed-toe, leather footwear

Any plans for another Plasma Table class? I unfortunately wasn’t able to make the 15th.

I’m also interested in a plasma cutter class. I took it a few years ago but never did anything with it and no longer remember any of the details.

I haven’t added another class yet. I will try to get one added for 18 June.
