That looks sick. How big is it? Pretty fine lines to get out of a plasma unless that thing is the size of a full sheet.

It's somewhere between 30-32" wide and around 24-30" tall. I'll have to measure it this afternoon.

Johnny, I texted you about having issues with my plasma table and FireControl. Even posted a thread about it.

Langmuir Cross Fire Pro Question

Got a question for you guys who might be using the CrossFire Pro. I was having computer issues and had to download Fusion360 again. All my projects are still there. I also had to reinstall FireControl with the latest version. Now I’m having issues with FireControl. I’ll send you a pic of the...

You texted me? I didn't get it. You texted my 919 area code number?

I'll check the thread.

Hope to have a roller again before Christmas

Got my plasma table up and running for now. Got the YouTuber, Austin Niemela, to send me a file for his front upper third link bracket. Got it cut out and tacked together. This is the one for the axle side.

Bent two of the pieces with my new Swag DIY weld together finger brake

What are your thoughts on this? Its been on my list, just kicking it around in my head. Would be nice to hear first hand how it works.

I’ve only used it once. So far I like it. Place it on the lower die, square it up, and bring down the top die right on the line. Bent that 1/4” pretty good. I’ll post up pictures of my coilover mounts when I get them bent up

I love my Swag finger brake and it is a core part of the garage. I purchased it halfway through my project and I would like to go back through and remake a few parts that I purchased.

Thanks for the responses, fellas!! It just got bumped to the top of the "what do you want for Christmas list"!! lol

I would just add that the air powered jack makes it a lot easier when you’re bending thick stuff. My first bends were on 3/8 x 8” framework for link mounts and the air motor does more than I can with the handle.

Mike and Ryan. Did you guys buy the DIY weld brake finger kit?

Yes, but mine was already welded together when I got it used from someone on craigslist
