Choosing The Right Cnc Plasma Cutting System

Many plasma cutting machines advertise claims that they are well built and can last for years to come, but only some are able to hold true to such claims. Plasma cutters that are well built with quality components will be the only ones that last the test of time.

There are several factors to consider when choosing a well quality machine.

Typically speaking, most shop needs require cutting plates with a thickness of 2″ or more for days on end.  So it is important to choose an industrial quality table that can withstand constant, rigorous usage

The overall design should be fully-welded design with a large stable base that can support heavy weight.  A stable platform or base is key to the cutting process.  If the base moves or waivers during cutting you will have trouble achieving the precise cuts you require and the process will begin to consume your time. Choose a professional grade machine with a stable base.  It will help ensure accurate and precise cutting to produce professional grade products.

Next, the plasma torch and the torch height control can be critical in determining cut accuracy. You can substantially increase efficiency with a plasma cutter that uses the highest quality automatic servo controlled arc voltage system. You will achieve a faster response, shorter pre-flow times and more precise integration.

Next, the components need to be designed and machined to work together. The rack mount and linear guides must work inclusively together.  The spiral rack and pinion and linear drives must integrate smoothly, accelerating with ease and accuracy.

Your nesting application is another important consideration that will harness the full potential of a quality plasma cutter.  You need it to be easy to set up and learn, simple and to the point.  You don’t want to waste your time with complex applications that you don’t need or are to cumbersome.

Lastly, you should consider the overall expansion for future possibilities based on the features packed into the CNC machine. Does the application package include a combination of configurations and expansion features?  A flexible machine package can take you a long way is. Consider your needs, long term intentions and overall goals when choosing a CNC plasma cutting system.

The bottom line is an accurate and durable CNC plasma cutter is the sum of it is parts. Choose a high quality CNC plasma cutter capable of growing to meet your company and client’s changing needs.

Unless you are living beyond your needs, spending a little extra buying a quality machine is typically the best bet.

Die Cuts Are Hard To Find

I have been scrapbooking for about 22 years. I started when my daughter was around three years old. At that time scrapbook die cuts or any other type of embellishments where just not around or very hard to find.  It’s a lot of fun for me to see how my children’s books have evolved over the many years. My two oldest children’s baby books are very simple and plain. I used colored markers to border the pages or draw dots and swirls just to add color.  Did they even make illustrated diecuts in 1986?

There are thousand and thousands of products for scrapbookers to purchase and use today.  I am always looking for items that are inexpensive and cute.  I always make sure that the products I buy are acid-free, so that our memories are preserved correctly. I love using die cuts.  They are a great simple embellishment that help me to scrapbook quickly.  I’m not one that can speed hours on a single scrapbooking page, because of the fact: each of my children have their own scrapbooks. (“yes” books with an “s”.) I was thrilled when my daughter was old enough to take over her own scrapbook. So, right now I am doing 5 scrapbooks. One for each of my four boys and one for my husband and me. (“Yes” I am behind by a couple of years, but that’s another story. I will get caught up I always do.)

Anyway……. I enjoy using diecuts that I’ve purchased at “fair-type” events. I have found that using die cuts is a “speedy-fast” way to construct creative scrapbook pages.

However….I have found that finding them at craft stores is getting harder and harder, if not impossible. I asked an employee once and was told that “the personal diecut machine has taken over that market.” I do own one but, nothing can take the place of a cute illustrated die cut and they are so much FASTER to use!

I started looking on-line to purchase some and everything I found was UGLY! “OK” my exact words…”butt ugly!” Old school that were just the shape of an object. YUCK!
Then to make matters worse, when you use a search engine and type in “scrapbooking die cuts” you get hundreds of sites claiming they carry them. PROBLEM is you can’t find them!! I am forever getting lost in on-line scrapbook supply stores? (“Yes” I’ve lost my parked car before too!) They carry everything but the kitchen sink! And most of the time I don’t even find diecuts they claim they have on their site, if by chance I do…UGLY!
