Metal Cutting Tools

Metal Shop
#1

I saw in a storage area someone had made a cutting of the makers space logo on to a solid piece of metal.

Not sure how it was done, but it was maybe 12-16" inches square. I have an idea for a project that could use the same process, but I don’t know what the process was.

Any idea (or suggestions) on how to make this? Ideally, it is something I want to put on top of my mailbox.

Do we have a water jet cutter, or a plasma cutter that will cut a sharp line? And finally, if so, can I get trained on it?

The metal logos were cut on the plasma cnc. Looks like there is a full dynatorch class tomorrow, but you either might be able to fly standby, or see if someone can do a 1:1 with you.

I made them they are plasma cut and then welded together.

Honestly I can’t believe they are still around as they predated that bldg.

You can tell I had no idea what I was doing from the garbage welds.

They’re iconic now.

We have larger plasma cut samples out of thicker material as well in the metal shop. There is one made out of 3/4" thick plate hanging from the top of the oven next to the big red plasma table

Is anyone training anyone on how to use it?

I’m trying to schedule a class for late this week or early next week; there’s a few needing it. If all else fails, committee meetings typically provide training. They are usually the first Saturday of every month in the afternoon. Should be visible on the calendar
