Budget-friendly CNC plasma tables from Riverside, California. Starter kits with plasma cutter bundles, popular with metal artists, hobby fabricators, and side hustle businesses looking for affordable full-size cutting capability.
Get a Free QuoteBurnTables operates out of Riverside, California, building budget-friendly CNC plasma tables since approximately 2015. Their approach to the market is simple: offer the most affordable full-size CNC plasma tables possible, bundle them with plasma cutters for one-stop shopping, and target the metal art and hobby fabrication community that values low entry cost above all else.
What makes BurnTables particularly appealing to first-time buyers is their starter kit concept. Rather than forcing a new buyer to research and purchase a table, plasma cutter, consumables, and accessories separately, BurnTables offers packages that include everything you need to start cutting. For someone who has never owned a CNC plasma table and does not know which plasma cutter to pair with which table, this bundled approach removes a significant barrier to entry.
BurnTables machines are built for the metal art and hobby market, not for production fabrication. The frames are lighter-duty than mid-range competitors, the controllers are basic, and the machines are best suited for thin-gauge material up to about 3/8 inch. Within that envelope, BurnTables delivers functional CNC plasma cutting at prices that make the hobby accessible to almost anyone with garage space and a 220V outlet.

Yes. BurnTables offers starter kit bundles that include the CNC plasma table and a compatible plasma cutter in a single package. These bundles are particularly appealing for first-time buyers who want to purchase everything they need in one transaction rather than sourcing a table and plasma cutter separately. Bundle pricing typically saves $200 to $500 compared to buying the components individually.
BurnTables is one of the most popular choices for metal artists and sign makers. Their tables are priced low enough that a metal artist can get into CNC plasma cutting without a major capital investment, and the cutting area on their 2x4 and 4x4 models is well-suited to the sign, wall art, and decorative panel sizes that metal artists typically produce. Many successful Etsy and craft-fair metal art businesses started on BurnTables machines.
BurnTables pricing starts around $1,800 for a 2x2 table and scales to approximately $2,500 for a 2x4, $4,000 for a 4x4, and $6,000 for a 4x8. Starter kit bundles that include a plasma cutter add $800 to $1,500 to the base table price. These are among the lowest prices available for complete CNC plasma table systems in the US market.
BurnTables and Langmuir Systems compete in the same entry-level segment. Langmuir has a significantly larger owner community and their FireControl software is more polished. BurnTables offers competitive pricing, especially on their 2x4 size which Langmuir does not match exactly. BurnTables also offers plasma cutter bundle packages that simplify the buying process. For pure community and software support, Langmuir wins. For bundle convenience and specific size options, BurnTables is competitive.
BurnTables machines are designed for hobby and light commercial use, not full production environments. The frames are lighter-duty construction that will develop play and wear under continuous daily cutting. For a metal art side business, weekend project work, or small batch production, BurnTables is adequate. For a shop cutting 6+ hours a day, you need a heavier machine from a mid-range manufacturer like Arclight Dynamics or ShopSabre.
