Hi, my UPS tracking is saying my table will be here tomorrow, Crossfire Pro with the THC. I am located in Langley BC, just outside of Vancouver
Excited to get it up up and running. I work with SolidWorks and program CNC machines as part of my day work, and picked up SheetCam for posting to the Crossfire Pro.
I am sure I will have some questions once I start assembling… currently just watching videos on the machine and reading everything I can here.
another fellow Canadian into the mix…love it…just love it…
welcome…and have fun…any questions just ask us…
Yes actually my co.puter in mach 3 keeps saying no rnr motion card found please help
whaich table do you have and when did you purchase it? if really new, then you gotta use firecontrol… If over a year old 2x2 crossfire then it uses mach3.
Welcome just received last package of my Pro Friday. Still have yet to put it together.
Slowly getting it assembled. Been super busy with work. I welded the water table up and have started making a base for it with a shelf and caster, plus a steady rest for larger sheets.
Question for you regarding welding the water table… were there any warpage issues?
When I did mine…
I bolted the two sides together…no adhesives or glue…cleaned the flanges well
fastened them to the table as instructions indicate…
put about 1/4" of water in each pan…
TIG melted/fused the seams between the flange bolts…then removed the flange bolts and finished welding it…
filled it with water and ran a high pressure air gun along the underside of the seam to check for air bubbles…
had to touch up a couple of points…but other than that…
zero warpage…zero leaks
3M 5200 fast cure. It won’t leak and will never come apart! again.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003E1ULRE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_C8B7HF61EZK4CCRRYSMK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Only have to seen it in white. Even the fast cure takes 24hrs to cure.
I was doing a couple of practice runs on some scrap stainless I was able to mock up to simulate the weld. Looks like I will have to notch out the bolt holes some from a “U” to more of a “V”. Do you see any drawbacks to that?
Check this thread… I didn’t V it out like this and still had good results. Certainly will make it easier:
