The building of Long-EZ N916WP. In this video I show the process for plasma cutting my 0.090" thick 6061 aluminum instrument panel. After having test cut multiple 22 ga steel panels to dial in the fit & configuration, this is the final panel that I will use in my flying Long-EZ.

You can block the perimeter to stop all that splashing with scraps. Probably causing your errors.

Nice panel Wade. It'll be good to go in less than ½ an hour.

Thanks Bro! You were right, some slight Dremel work on those rough areas and a good clean up and it was ready to go in less than 30 min.

are you using any special gasses with this process? or just dry air?

@wade-airdog7730 2 жыл бұрын

Just dry compressor air.

Hi, Iam new to plasma cutter, why do you have to touch the table before fire the torch? Thank you

@wade-airdog7730 Жыл бұрын

That's the Torch Height Control doing its thing. It touches off each time before each job.

Hi, Just wondering what torch and holder you are using. Thanks Dean

@wade-airdog7730 Жыл бұрын

Hi Dean. Torch is PTM-60 CNC Plasma Machine Torch (Ebay). Holder is from plasmatorchprotectionsystem.com/

Did you have your water level low for cut quality or fear of gas build up?

@wade-airdog7730 3 жыл бұрын

No, I didn't have the water set at any level for any particular reason. I had to go back and look to see what level it was in this video... yeah, it probably could have been filled a bit more, but the panel turned out nicely.

You can see it warping like crazy. Should do water jet instead.

You any water jet machines for under $10K? Neither do I.

I would love to be able to... but this did the job nicely. A little bit of cleaning up around the edges of the holes but the panel came out very nicely IMO.

If good enough is good enough then why bother spending 2 to 3 times the amount? For extreme precision and edge quality, yes go waterjet but, if you don't mind a little clean up it can save you a lot of money.
