Good morning, all.  I hope life is being gentle with everyone.

I run the metal shop of a makerspace and a member has purchased/installed a CNC plasma cutting table.  We need to come up with a way to shield the flash from the rest of the shop, and I'd like to make something like this that someone came up for a CNC laser cutter.  Any reason why this wouldn't work on a plasma cutter?
Thanks

 

Probably? Depends if it would interfere in the heads movement and if the material would hold up to the spatter.  I dont have any experience with the cnc tables. 

My thought is worst case you could get the flash protector screens to put up around the table like they have for welding. Much more space intrusive then the attachment you are asking about tho. 

At the makers space I joined, they have transparent yellow screens around the plasma table.  We also use a water table to catch most of the dust.  It's also near a roll up door that can be opened when the weather's good.

I wouldn't like that shroud.  It would make it more difficult to do centering operations and to use the table's pattern trace function.
