I hope my Ebook gives you hope that no matter how hard a project may seem, keep plugging away until you finish and you will succeed.
I spent 3 years putting this together and now finally all my hard work and research has paid off.
I studied diagrams from commercial venders, but to no luck. They tend to leave a lot out on purpose - so its hard to reproduce their design. Ive see
different attempts at people making their own on You Tube and other sites, but what a death trap. Messy water resistors and wiring like a darn Christmas
tree.
So I began reading books and articles on their workings and took my home schooled-knowledge of electronics to build my own plasma cutter. I was
determined; failure was not an option.
I started by collecting parts from old microwaves, stoves, water heaters, air conditioners, car parts and more in the hopes of creating a low budget way to
create a plasma cutter for myself. I mounted it all on a simple piece of scrap wood; well its scrap wood now. We, didnt need that table anyway (shhhhhhh
dont tell the wife).
Then one day it all came together. I hit the power switch, placed the head to the metal, started the arc, felt the air kick and then a second hard kick (the
current being drawn into play). Then BAM, it was slicing through quarter inch steel like a hot knife through butter.
How sweet it sounded! I felt the amazement of completing a project that I just couldnt let go of.
So, take your time, enjoy and be safe.

It runs off 120 or 220 and your far from being the first.
Just go to my site and go into photo page and you can watch my buddy george use his.
