Hey gang,
I just wanted to post a picture of the water table that I made for my plasma ShopBot. I spent about $250 on it in materials and a few lazy days of assembly. I made a 2X2 box frame with adustable carriage bolt feet like the SB and capped off the legs with 2X2X1/4" plates that were the same contour as the box steel. What was nice about making this was the fact that most of the components, mainly the pan, were cut on the ShopBot and welded. I love having the ability to make my own tooling
The pan itself is 84" long and 66" wide. It is made out of 1/8" steel sheet and was MIG welded all along the outside seams. The inside seams were beaded with pure silicone caulk. I have to wait until tomorrow night to fill it up and check for leaks...
I made a downdraft cabinet a few months ago and was very unpleased with the way that it worked (or didn't for that matter). I really hope that this works for eating up most of the smoke...IT BETTER!!! I really don't want to move it again!
I'll let you know how it works out. Next modification will be to the router ShopBot when I add the indexer
