I just found a clip, it looks like the metal is sitting on the water!

I didn't think the water table was required for stuff under 3/8"?

It makes a neat sound with the jet or air bubbling in the water. Wonder what the green additive is? Antifreeze would stink and be a sticky mess.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

the water is to help keep the dust down, and to help quieten the noise of the big torches which can be really loud. nothing like the sound of a 1000 amp torch cutting 4 to 6 inch thick plate.

I'm interested in cutting down the smoke and fumes, especially for stainless! I got a bad head ache cutting stainless this summer! Can't be good for you!

Matthew,
Check out Keith's series on building his plasma cam system. It may give you some insight. He made his fume system and water tray height
adjustable.
Unfortunately, I barely have enough room to store my plasma cutter much less a cutting table.

Thanks,
that and the other vids have given me a good idea of how to go about it!
I'm not going to set up a CNC plasma table, I just want to cut by hand, so using a shallow tank should be enough. Just find a roundtoit and I'll be all set!
Thanks again, Matthew
