This spring I ordered up a Langmuir Crossfire Pro table, and a few weeks ago it arrived. I've got it 99% assembled and ready to start testing, and I know I will have to find a spot for in the shop. For those of you with limited space, any tips? My thought is to not bury it in the corner, and giving some access on either side of the machine if i need to get to it. I haven't tired out the water table to see if under table storage & mounting of the plasma cutter there would be viable.
I picked up a small PC that I can use for CAD and controlling the table. I need a stand or table. I don't want something collecting shit and taking up precious floor space, so I was thinking of something like the link below. We have similar setups in our labs at work, but of course they are heavy duty and cost way more. I may even run down to see if i can pick up some scrap and put something like this together, but something tells me I'd end up spending more time and money with minimal better functionality.
If there's interest, I can provide my experience. Back in the 90s I worked with Mazak 3 and 6 axis laser cutters. I also have some experience with a similarly sized early Bulltear/Starlab CNC plasma table that a friend has had for 10 years or so. But this is my first time messing with one from scratch.
