jamscal's 5x10 Gantry Build

Hello all,

My 'check is in the mail' and I should have a 5x10 Gantry in a few weeks.

I own a welding/fab shop (RLC Welding & Fabrication LLC) and mainly make winch bumpers for a variety of vehicles.

The reviews on Pirate are what led me to Bulltear.

I get a lot of parts laser cut currently. I love the quality but I've been spending more per year on cutting than a table would cost.


Anyway, got a quote on the steel and I can have the large pan formed in one piece.

Pics will come when the build starts.

Welcome aboard James! We get alot of customers that have dealt with the same long lead times when they are outsourcing laser parts. Having the tool in house to make the part can most often times be the best solution. Looking forward to your build here. Were you able to access the instructional and find the 5x10 table blue prints. Just so you know some places can make the water pan from one single piece so their is no welding a seam in the middle.

I've found the prints.

My steel supplier can make the pan from one piece.

3" deep pan...

Do I need 3" slats and how many?

-James

54 slats

I built my 5X10 table this weekend , whats the going rate to form a one piece pan in your area ?

$340 out of 11 ga.

My supplier is 'local' but they have a few locations in Michigan as well, and sometimes stuff has to come from there.

Edit, I'm in Louisville, KY.

Looking to buy a computer.

Do I need an XP computer or what exactly will I need.

How about this one. (Refurbished Dell running XP cheap on ebay):

XP 32bit intel pentium 4. If that is a 32 bit operating system it will work flawlessly.

Table and computer... the latter is from the link above on ebay.

Just flipped the table, haven't welded the top joints yet.

Good work!
