Plasma circle burner

admin

Well I have built a circle burner for my plasma torch. I all ready made one for my oxygen/acetylene Torch and really like it so I made this one. I used a carriage bolt to hold the center pin. I only need a 1/2" wrench to change the adjustment. I used a split set Collar to hold it to the torch. Works real nice. Well here's the pictures.

Reply:How do you get the slot cut out going down the middle?  It is so perfect and straight.

Reply:The Plasma circle burn parts where made with a milling machine than I made it shorter and welded the end on it. It was about 14 long at first. I thought it was a bit to long so I cut it.    * With a milling machine the whole project only takes about 2 hours or so *.                                                                                              Vernon Attached ImagesHomemade Belt Sander "LINK"http://s795.photobucket.com/albums/y...Belt%20Sander/
Reply:Very nice!! Just curious how does the center point stay secured to the piece you are cutting? Do you drill a small hole for it to rest/sit in, or something else?- RyanLincoln Weld-Pak 140HDHypertherm Powermax 30HF 4x6 bandsawHF 21gal compressorCraftsman Commercial drill press4.5" Craftsman Professional angle grinder4.5" HF angle grinderOld benchtop table saw with a cutoff wheel and sawzall

Reply:Originally Posted by tackitNice job Vernon.     I bought one when I bought my plasma machine, it comes with a few attachments... mine has a magnetic base like in the video below....never used it yet though.

Reply:Originally Posted by jmanVery nice!I'm Curious also about something...  Does it 'teeter-totter' on you when you try and cut?  It looks to me like it would do that without a wheel on it...  Perhaps it just requires a bit of practice to use?Cheers,
