And then this happened. Bought a 66 C50. I had a 62 C50 2 years ago but I decided to sell it after I realized how much work it needed to get where I wanted. This one is a lot cleaner donor. Hopefully going to lay it out or at least drop it down a bit.

Next to each other. Panel wasn't fully laid out. I hate that most of these pics keep posting sideways. Sorry about that.

A guy in Ohio near me makes the cnc table. Detrick Design and Fabrication is the guys table I bought. Not cheap but honestly the best $ I’ve ever spent. It’s allowed me to pay off a lot of debt and now have fun $ to buy more projects and builds which rocks. Attached is a pic of a $700 piece of brass I was cutting.

thanks for the pics! looks like a nice cnc unit ! i do lots of street rod & drag car stuff ! and one of these would sure save me time on brackets - got any pics of what can be done ? ive seen pics of alot of farm signs ,is the unit easy to program? would the unit kinda of walk me thru the process? i had a heath tracer pattern torch & now i built a "rotten leonard" follow pattern tracer -works good but i really need something that will work by its-self -while im doing something else for a few minutes-it takes a few minutes to do a pattern-and something -that i had in file ,would be quick & easy to load up ?? thanks mike

I bought it mainly to do car stuff but ended up in the sign business. Lol. The best way to see what I’ve done is check out my Facebook page or Instagram under: Tiny Tin Metal. Table wise it’ll do whatever you want but cutting wise is determined by the Plasma you buy. I bought a Hypertherm 65 and can burn through 1/2” like butter. As far ease of programming........ you pretty much have to create files or design your own stuff in cad programs. Some brackets and stuff are available online otherwise you have to create the file. It won’t do its own thing by itself unless you mean program it to cut then walk away and go do something else while it’s cutting. As far as tracing, that kind of sucks honestly. Scanning software is expensive and then there’s another method but I’ve never managed to get it to work. Long story short, if you don’t like computer work then you’d hate a Plasma table as its 99% computer work.

You'll need a affordable CAD program. There are a few out there. The one use more so is Bend Tech Sheet Metal. Then you will need the software to convert the dxf. file into the code that the table can read.

I use Bobcad since it came with my table. On my Mac I use DraftSight since it’s free. Lol. I then use Sheetcam to program my files and then Mach3 to cut out the stuff.

Scored some bummer guards yesterday and managed to modify them to bolt on with the bumper bolts.
