July 4, 201412 yr Been thinking about a plasma tracer which could be made with materials on hand. Engineering and design was limited to "what next" with an acceptable amount of "that didn't work very well". LOL Out-of-pocket expense came from v-bearings and cam bearings for the carriage. The table is 36 X 60 with a max work piece of 21 X 35. Spacers under the cutting head were used to adjust for different material thickness and the table legs fold down to allow for easy storage. The stylus handle rotates for easier tracing and the stylus point is a 'ball end set screw' which permits for free-hand tracing of drawings. The stylus head length is adjustable in order to enlarge or reduce the cut piece size up to about 15%.
