Should be setup to start cutting in a week.
DOR's New Addition

Game on!
We are now setup for all your CNC plasma cutting needs. I can work with dxf (auto cad), pcm (plasma cam), bmp pictures, pictures or hand drawn items, or something in your head. If you need something let us know! -
Here something simple yet very helpful. Those that wish to build their own bumpers, or even modify prebuilt ones, are always looking for a good way to add safety chains to the hitch. This is a simple plate we cut that is welded to both the bumper and the reciever to attach safety chains. The bracket also aids as an extra gusset to add some extra strength to the reciever tube.
We are selling just the bracket as well as a kit that includes a reciever tube and the bracket.
No job too big or too small. Recently had a local guy that needed some skids build for towing disabled vehicles. We cut the main skids, dimple died them, and cut a bunch of gussets to make a light weight and strong skid.

As far as adding strength to the tube if you pass it thru both sides of the bumper, strength will never be an issue, especially with what a Jeep can tow.
When I built mine I went this route:
-
Plus Keith, you still need safety chains.

Amazing! I'm liking it!

The way i first read your post it seemed like you questioned how much strength the plate could really add.
I agree, passing the tube through to the back side should really be the only way to do it, which is why i think all the manufactures do it that way.
Might as well add to the discussion that passing through to the backside is really the best way to install clevis mounts too.

maybe this is a dumb question.... but how precise can you get with this machine? I have a few parts for a home project i am designing that i was going to cut and grind with a dremel, but this seemed like it could work nicely. The pieces I am looking to get cut are not very big, both pieces are probably smaller than a large index card together. one piece on a 1/16" piece of treated steel, and the other on a 1/32" piece i believe. The only problem is the pieces need to be cut down in measurements of 1000ths of an inch. Needless to say its a lot of work with a micrometer and a dremel. Is this machine capable of that?

Sounds like you are gonna need to get it laser cut.

The beauty of laser cutting.

I am going to agree with Brad that a laser cutter may be the better tool for the job. While the CNC plasma table is extremely accurate, the plasma arc will not provide the close of a tolerance. There would also be some warpping of steel that thin.I'm curious what the "home project" is that requires that close a tolerance.

Anyone know of a place that has a laser CNC machine in the area that could do something like that?

Miller Metel in Bridgeville.
Just send them your drawing or model file and way you go.
