This is a “fork” off of earlier discussion here.
I am planning to do a hybrid between normal and dual densities.
I’m planning to have half my plasma table be normal, 10 straight slats cut with sawtooth pattern as shown below. Then, the other half of the table would have slats just like that, but a small portion cut off the ends of each, and these small portions would be mounted in independent slat holders that allow the distance between them to be reduced, and these tiny short slats would not have sawtooth pattern (or very fine sawtooth pattern).
Here’s the current plan for sawtooth pattern. @kd2018 and @vicious1 I welcome your input. I narrowed the teeth spacing at the suggestion above by Ryan.
I plan to have the cut path carry the plasma blade outside the slat on each “outward tooth” swipe, so the existing slat width is always preserved, with each tooth’s blunt area (flatness instead of point) at about 3.6 mm across.
