Hi Guys,
I havn't posted for a while. Looking to build a circle burner. I used to have an old cantilever burner in the shop but it didn't get used enough to merit the huge space it took up. I ditched it and have been buying the few parts that I need from local suppliers (mostly rings and flanges)
I don't have enough market, floorspace, or cash to invest in a full table but I could profit from a nice circle machine. The idea is for a DC drive and torch holder mounted on a large starter ring gear. Magnetic legs to stick it directly on a plate.
Right now searching for a suitable ring gear. Hopefully something on a road tractor or excavating equipment will be large enough (20" plus).
Has anyone built anything similar? I'm not talking about a "stick on a hand torch" but rather a pretty nice machine capable of precision cuts in heavy plate.
