Upgrading my Langmuir Pro/Do These Upgrades When Setting Yours Up!

I had a few things I wanted to take care of while doing regular maintenance to my Langmuir Pro this week. The first was to clean everything and empty the old water/Borax solution. It worked. Initially, but as the water table lost water to evaporation, the Borax started crystalizing on the table blades. It then allowed the blades and anything on the bottom of the table to begin rusting. If that wasn't bad enough the splash from the cutting would leave borax based water spots all over the gantry and plasma torch ultimately fouling up the consumables. It was workable but obviously not ideal. I was looking for another option and although I was aware of Plasma table concentrates, I always thought they would be too expensive to use. As it turns out, the cost per table change is only about $15. So much cheaper than I expected. Based on my latest experience of cleaning up the table it's money well spent.
In addition to the new fluid, I wanted to make the process of draining the table a little easier. In order to do that I needed to put dimples in the bottom of the water table where the drain is, think about your kitchen sink. The lowest point is where the drain is. This is what I wanted to do. I picked up a hydraulic hole punch set as well as some dimple dies. I'll add links to what I have as well as at least one other option below. Thanks for watching along as I make some simple upgrades to my Langmuir Pro.

Great solution Chad, that looked like it worked out perfectly. What an awesome machine you have there.... 👍👍
-
Just ordered and used your code about a week ago...thanks for all the content! Keep em coming
-
I am thankful that you put this video out I am about to buy this thing now I know what to do to upgrade it and make life easier Thanks a lot!!
-
The green looks good and the dimples were fun to install.
-
WOW. What a difference Chad! Looks great
-
You just saved me a lot of work! Thanks for the video.
-
Nice upgrade to the Ecto Cooler! That’s what I need to do to my table. Great idea on the dimple I’ll be stealing that trick. 🔥👍🏼🔥
-
Cool, it worked. Looks great!
-
Nice info, thanks for the discount I just ordered my CF Pro with your code. Can’t wait to get the table.
-
Great tips! I'm glad someone finally posted how much cleaning is involved as well as the draining issue and a solution. Any updates on how the PlasmaGreen performed?
-
Nice upgrades Chad! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ..... Great idea using dimples!
-
Great video, good info. Thanks for sharing
-
nicely done Chad
-
I want one of those cutting metal is so cool. That green stuff is neat to but I would have to get it in red
-
Looks great Chad. The borax looks like it was really building up.
-
I need to dimple my drain too!
-
Chad, one thing I did to my Crossfire (the original) was to add a brass 1/4 turn ball valve on the drain instead of a plug. Makes draining the pan much easier and faster. I drain mine down when not in use. Keeps it from freezing in the winter and evaporating in the summer. I use a 6 gal or so bucket, it's just big enough to hold all the water.
-
It looks 100% better!
-
Just an idea I came up with from clean the bottom slag my down draft welding table. Harbor Freight heavy duty Magnetgetts the bulk out fast then a wet dry shop vac to suck up the left over mud. Really quick easy way to keep from scooping the slop.
