>There was an article in Home Shop Machinist years ago about machining 
>your own cutting  torch for a panograph.   The design used commecial a 
>tip (Smith), but included notes and suggestions for other brands.  The

>I helped a friend build his CNC plasma cutter, and looked at using this 
>head for one of my own, since I was too cheap to buy a plasma cutter.   
>I am currently rethinking the plasma cutter, though, since they are so 
>damn handy.    


>I sent in a post a few days ago inquiring about converting a oxy-
>acet. torch to a barrel torch and also about "pyramids" to put on a 
>cutting table to keep from damaging the cutting surface.

>There were a few responses to this inquiry on theforge but 
>somehow I've lost several emails including the responses I was 
>interested in.

>If these members would email me what they said I'd sure 
>appreciate it.  I remember one response mentioned something 
>about an article that appeared in the HSM magazine.  Thanks.
