Conclusion
You get the idea pretty quickly of what can be done with a CNC Plasma Table. A lot of this metal art could also probably be done with a CNC Router given a large enough table. The biggest challenge there is most of these projects are done in mild steel while typically CNC Routers will have spindles that go too fast for mild steel. Still, the plasma cutter projects could be done in aluminum, wood, or plastics with a CNC router.
