Q: How much did it cost you to build a LowRider 3 plasma rig?

A: My cost on this, all in, was about $1,860.58, and it's comparable in size, capacity and performance to a Langmuir Crossfire Pro with THC, which with plasma cutter with machine torch + flat rate shipping, comes to about $4,568.00, so my savings by going a DIY route was about $2,707. And, I like doing projects like this. For someone who does not, it may not be worth it to them. In order to reduce costs, I bought a lesser known name (Hynade brand) CUT60DN plasma ($499.99 on Amazon) and a used Acer touchscreen laptop (for loading LinuxCNC) — "Acer aspire V15 Touch Intel i5 4210U 1.70GHz 8GB RAM 1TB HDD Touchscreen Win 10" (only $119.19 on eBay). Those are included in the overall cost I quoted above, as are both the stainless steel table, and the stainless steel water trays I use for my water table. More details and purchase links are in my build log linked in the description. (ALSO: I did not count the cost of the air compressor, which would be an addon either way, for someone who does not have one that is sufficient.)
