So how do people precisely cut and manipulate the metals needed to build something as large and as strong as an airplane wing? In most cases, the answer is the plasma cutter. It may sound like something out of a sci-fi novel, but the plasma cutter is actually a common tool that has ...
I work with CNC plasma cutters and all the programs I use to convert vector files to tool paths need a DXF file. Fortunately, the Silhouette cutter I use can take SVG. It sure would be nice to be able to use the same software to put out to all of my cutting devices since I use ...
The ZPrinter 450 can build a 3D model of your prototype in just a matter of hours. Copyright Discovery Communications, LLC Regular 2-D printers have become ubiquitous products in the modern age. Three-dimensional printers, on the other hand, are still able to turn some heads. Whether you...
To build a sandblaster you need a way to harness compressed air and sand, and a way to send it through an applicator gun. This is much easier said than done, but the skilled metalworkers at Make It Extreme have found a way. They started with four empty LPG (liquified petroleum gas...
The latest video shows how you can build a Laser Guided Blowgun without breaking the bank. This might look simple, but it is powerful enough to break glass and blast darts in the concrete. As you can see in the below video, you can have a lot of fun with this laser guided blowgun:...

Because the stairway was to be used outdoors, I made the treads from 1/8-inch steel safety floor plate (also called diamond tread). I cut the parts with a plasma cutter and took them to a local manufacturer to have them formed. I used the measurements discussed earlier but added 1 inch...
(1)Galvanized steeltubesand carbon steel pipes with a nominal diameter less than or equal to 50mm are generally suitable for cutting with a pipe cutter; (2) High-pressuretubes andtubes with a tendency to harden should be cut by mechanical methods such as sawing machines and lathes. If oxy...
The Armorwing's is a combination of Oxygen and Acetylene, thus it has a temperature of 3300 °C. It uses its fire to build a metal armor to protect its scaleless body. Apart from being hot, this fire is also incredibly bright, as it can temporarily blur the vision of other dragons. ...
How to Build a Jet Engine!: I have wanted to build a functioning, jet turbine engine for quite a long time. To me, there's something awesome about the way in which so many different aspects of a jet engine come together to make a functioning unit, that i
