Whoops- I meant THERMAL DYNAMICS.

HYPERTHERM, OR THERMAL DYNAMICS.

these are the two companies that make the plasma cutters that every
serious industrial shop uses.



Thanks Rees.

I'll pull on my jeans and go visit a real welding supply store.
And take a couple of pieces of metal with me to carve on.

In the end, this might actually be something that has to be shopped out
rather than done in house (ok, in garage)



What kind of time frames? Is it something that you can make template
guides for? I'm not all that far away (up in Denison) and my PM1K has
plenty of idle time. I haven't got it CNC'd yet, but that is on the
project list too.

I'm retired and grown plumb lazy these days, Pete.
I don't do much of anything fast any more.
So no pressure on time frame.

What would a template need to be made from?

I doubt CNC would be all that handy in this case.
Only a couple dozen parts needed.

But, yes, I'd be real happy to get 'em cut out!
