Dose any use cnc tables that could give some recommendations. I'm in the market and just starting to gather info, so if you have a brand you like please advise. TIA

I'm also not opposed to a used table if in good shape

I have used Lone Star Cutting Solutions machines for 10+ years. They are out of Mineola, so they are pretty local to me in NE Texas. In my experience, they have had great technical support, which is probably one of the top things to consider.


Edited to add:

Get a water table if at all possible. You will need to add an additive like Plasma Green, but it makes a huge difference in cutting down smoke in the shop. Also, make sure your air compressor has a good dryer/filtration system.

Buddy if mine runs an Arclight Dynamics table. He has been happy with it and says customer support is good too.

I have a plasma table 12' wide by 50' long. It was custom built with oxy and drill capabilities by a company called Valley Cutting Systems. They were in California but have since relocated to Idaho.

For a local source, I recommend Plasma Systems Inc in Houston. The owner, Rick Keeton is really knowledgeable.

It's been about 10 years but I used to run a 5'x10' Dynatorch table in a production fab shop setting. It was great and had by far the best technology and features in that mid range class (not super heavy duty industrial). I believe they may have gone out of business, not sure. But I think some of their former employees and technology are still out there with other brands, may have even started their own brand after Dynatorch.

As already said, plenty of compressor capacity and an air dryer are critical. I had an exhaust table and smoke was fully removed from underneath the cutting surface, I can't imagine dealing with a water table.

If it won't cause problems, we got our air dry, finally, by putting in one of those refrigeration units which drops the compressed air temp below freezing

May not be what you are looking for, but I've had a Langmuir systems Crossfire Pro for about 18 months. It's been great. The software interface is great. The table has performed really well. It's only 4'x3' though. I'm just a hobbyist so it is plenty.

I paired it with a Primeweld cut60 machine. For the money, it can't be beat. Great cutter and incredible customer service.

I'm going over next week for a demo. Good to hear the customer service is good.
