BangShift.com BANGshift Question Of The Day: Which Tool Would You Rather Have In Your Shop? CNC Plasma Table Or CNC Milling Machine? - BangShift.com

Oct 15, 2024

I’d take the Bridgeport any day; even if it wasn’t CNC. You can make almost anything on it that the plasma table could make, but you can’t make half of what a milling machine would make on a plasma table. The plasma table can make some things faster, and would be a better choice if I needed some sort of 4′ x 6′ part cut out of steel plate, but I’m not running a contract manufacturing operation or building mining equipment here.
