Alright so I've all but decided to give Everlast more of my $$$ by purchasing a plasma cutter. This will be my first foray into that endeavor, as I have not used one previously. Looking forward to having one in my shop though. Further, I've kinda-sorta settled in on the 62i. Any feedback would be appreciated regarding that model. I wanted to "overkill" the selection in that I would buy more plasma cutter than I'd need. Rather have that than the other way around is the standard logic at play there.

So. If you're a-gonna have a plasma cutter, you need a plasma cutting table, right? I searched online for ideas, watched a handful or less number of videos, etc. In the end I decided to go with a design that was similar to one of the YouTube videos. The guy is based in Lithuana I think, but that is a SWAG + 1/2. Might be Poland??? Guessing like no one's business...

Although I had settled on that general concept, I wanted to draw my own design and use dimensions that I think will suit my use case scenarios (or at least most of them). With that decision, I set about cobbling together a set. Uugggghhh. In the end I have almost 7 pages and I think I must have over-complicated this thing. I thought I'd offer the design for review and am expecting to receive agreement, but we'll see, who knows. I mean you must decide on the collector and that involves some work, so ...

Anyway, the design follows in the next few posts. Beginning now:
