I was seriously doing alot of research on CNC Plasma tables in the last 6 or 8 months and so far I keep coming back one big problem or hurdle in my shop.

That is space, not enough of it. Because I do multiple different projects from building houses additions, decks, fences, kitchens and bathrooms. Alot of high end custom one off stuff. Usually hard shit 90% of contractors don't want to touch. I love it.

Anyways I also do alot of custom steel work as well. Steel fire escapes, railings for inside and outside house. In my small shop behind my house. It is just a 18' X 36' with 9' ceilings. Not the ideal 😕 😪 size shop.

Was always going to move out to the country far from neighbors and build my ultimate shop. Well expensive divorce and two young girls and a dead beat ex-wife. Not cheap. Plus my daughter's both went to University in the medical business. Now that is all over. I am 60 and slowing down in life a bit. I have no desire to move. So I make do with what I have , besides it is all payed of. I have come use to making things work in my little shop.

So the more research I did on plasma tables and all the cost ($$$$) and square footage they take up. I was going to make my own. Well I already own a plasma machine, I will just build the table.
Well that can be costly as well and the amount of time and money just didn't make sence.

I have been eyeing out the Arcdroid out for years. So I think 🤔 in my situation it has the best bang for my bucks ($$$$).

So has anyone on here have one and what is you likes and disslikes about it.

Cheers 🍻

I considered an ArcDroid, had one on pre-order for a while then cancelled. The ArcDroid cut volume was just too small to be useful. Nothing wrong with ArcDroid. Youtubers Matts Offroad Recovery and Grind Hard Plumbing both use ArcDroids for small plates.

Discovered Langmuir and went with their Crossfire 2'x3' (approx). Used it for a year then upgraded to Langmuir's XR table (4'x8').

Many times we will lay a sheet of steel on the XR and use it as a worktable when not cutting. Point being, consider replacing your worktable with a plasma table of similar size and using sheet steel to convert it to a worktable.

Another option at least.
