i've got a miller plasma cutter w/ a machine torch and i'm planning on making a customer torch holder and putting in a cat40 holder for my haas TM3 mill.
from what i've read, one of the big problems is smoke/grit from the plasma cutting getting everywhere and making a mess of the inside of the cabinet.
i'm thinking about either making some kind of water table to put on top of the TM3 table and maybe having a vacuum system running in the cabinet.
note that this is a hobby machine - it runs maybe a few hours per week.
has anyone else here done something like this? any advice?
