Plasma Build

Just trying to get my head wrapped around using a plasma cutter as a tool.

I’ve had a Miller Spectrum 125C for a bunch of years and never really liked it as a tool. It was difficult to use because it’s such a low power unit. Although, a CNC machine could easily maintain the delicate speed balance needed to make a good cut.

When I look at some of the other DIY builds out there, this seems to be a popular component to maintain the control of the torch:

Is this something that could be incorporated into the MPCNC platform? Is it overkill? Or maybe I’m just not understanding several things… :slight_smile:

Thanks
