Miller Plasma Cutter + Miller Fume Extractor + DIY DownDraft Cutting Table = Sweeeet

The DownDraft plasma cutter table is finally done and it works like it is supposed to. Whew!
The miller fume extractor is awesome. And when I hook it up to the plasma cutting table, you can't even smell anything when I light a wad of newspapers on fire. This miller fume extractor sucks 875 cfm and that might not sound like a lot but it does the job of getting rid of welding and cutting fumes like a champ. Now I can use my plasma cutter without all the fumes and smoke. When I need to make a quick cut on some angle iron or flat plate, it is breeze.

Brilliant video to finish off a great series! Not only have I learned plenty of welding tips and tricks, your whole fabrication method and workshop attitude is brilliant! It's a rare combination to find someone as skilled who can articulate it and pass your knowledge onto others the way you can! Thanks for being a great teacher!

I made a similar plasma cutting table from a 55 gal steel drum with removable slats! I love it but yours is sweet with fume extraction!! You gave me some ideas to mod mine some more!

Jody, thats a sick table man. Absolute craftsmanship. I appreciate all of your "tips and tricks," you've really helped me become a better welder. Also, grabbed me one of the tig fingers, cant wait to put it to the test back at school. Great job, and thanks!

Nice trick on the vise handle, I like your tip of wrapping the stranded wire around to keep the splatter off the threads. Liked and Subscribed.

Great video as usual, thanks for sharing. In the event you want to increase the suction you can also just below your flat bars place multiple inverted angles (like an upside down v but widen the bend angle) with about a one inch gap between them and it will still divert the sparks and create a greater suction on the table.

That turned out good Jody, good job. We have the wall mounted version of the Miller fume extractor and it works good for welding, not so good for our cnc plasma cutter. I'm thinking on making a downdraft for it, then it would work better.

@venttech2001 8 жыл бұрын

Nice video and good work. To ensure that the plasma bench works AND provides adequate control ACGIH provides a design guide that will give you the correct air flow rates (both down flow and duct transport velocities) of this type of application. Also, you should use extraction to remove the fumes when building this bench - protect yourself!

Jody, top work as always. Could you do a more detailed video on TIG Silicone bronze? I have MIG brazing wire (.8mm) that I have had great TIG success with on DC- at low currents, but I would appreciate a video from you on how you do it. I have tried 'regular' brazing wire on DC- but the zinc content makes it so unpleasant to use. Cheers from the UK

Could you hinge the extractor port on the top edge so you can flip it out the way when not in use.

Don't have the space for a welding table either!! Just been measuring up the shed and deciding how much crap to throw out and make space, found a few extractors on ebay... hmm it might just fit :-)

@TODDFINK1 9 жыл бұрын

Great vid man! I think i might steel your idea for the table. I am forever moving out side to plasma cut. I even have some exploded spots in my nice concrete floor from hot dross hitting it. I honestly don't have money for a fume extractor but i might use a high volume electric fan via tube to the table to hook to my garage door exhaust vent hole to at least vent some of the fumes outside.

@kelliewood5245 8 жыл бұрын

+TODD FINK I've been thinking about doing the same home-brewed thing you are. I can only afford to buy an everlast plasma cutter and a decent air compressor. Nothing left in the budget for a fume extractor but maybe a high volume fan and some fire resistant tubing to the outside. I can make the table.

+Kellie Wood I set up an exhaust fan with some flame resistant tubing to pull smoke to the outside from my everlast setup. You don't need anything too fancy.

I notice at 6:53, you use a clamp on the tubular steel section of the frame that you originally intended to have covered in sheet metal. So your mistake worked out to be fortuitous in the end?

ALWAYS use ventilators and respirators. Metal particulates and metal/gas fumes are the final realm of safety welding culture is realizing. I work for a millwright company and I don't know a single old-timer welder who doesn't have some disease or disorder that could potentially be tied to long-term fume exposure. COPD, Parkinson's like tremors, neurological issues, various cancers.
