Mr. Gusset is a completely bolt-together, four-axis CNC plasma tube cutter designed for round, square, and rectangular tubing. Every machine connection is secured with standard fasteners -- no welding is required to assemble the machine structure.
It is built for real fabrication work. Slots, holes, notches, and cope cuts in square, rectangular, and round tube stock. The software and machine are designed together, so there is no file-transfer gap between generating G-code and running the job.
Typical parts cost: ~$3,000* · Independent builder completed mechanical assembly in under 2 hours.*
* Cost is an estimate and varies by build. Assembly time is one reported result -- individual times will vary.
Movement along the tube's length. Positions the torch along the X axis of the workpiece.
Side-to-side torch positioning across the face of the tube.
Raises and lowers the torch relative to the tube surface.
Rotates the tube in the chuck to access all four sides. Manual jogging in degrees; automatic surface-distance calculation during jobs.
Create common tube cuts by entering dimensions directly into the software -- no separate CAD model, no separate CAM program, no file-transfer gap between generating G-code and running the job.
Enter your tube dimensions and cut parameters -- slots, holes, notches, and cope cuts -- and G-code is generated immediately without modeling each operation in CAD or CAM.
Jog, home, probe, and run jobs directly from the same application. No saving files, switching programs, or manually uploading G-code to a separate controller interface.
Review the generated cutting path before running the machine. Visualize cut placement across all four tube sides and play back the path for confirmation.
Build a list of multiple operations across all four tube sides (A, B, C, D). Edit, array, rename, and reorder cuts before generating the final G-code output.
Save projects and reload them later. Build a library of programs for common cuts, tube sizes, and recurring jobs in your shop.
The full desktop application is designed to run without an internet connection. Buy once, use indefinitely -- with a perpetual-use license and no recurring subscription.
Designed for anyone who regularly works with round, square, or rectangular tubing -- from hobby builds to production shop work.
Expand your cutting capabilities without the cost of a large industrial tube cutter.
Cut faster, fit better, and take on more tube-intensive jobs.
Precise notches and cope cuts for chassis, roll cages, and off-road builds.
Build your own machine and gain access to CNC tube cutting at a fraction of industrial cost.
Repeatable cuts on square and round tube for frames, bumpers, and structural components.
A capable, accessible CNC platform you build and understand from the ground up.
A practical, affordable CNC plasma platform for welding and fabrication education.
Commercial use of parts made with Mr. Gusset is allowed and encouraged.

mrgusset.comMr. Gusset is a do-it-yourself CNC plasma-cutting machine that involves high voltage, automated machine movement, rotating components, pinch and crush points, plasma arc radiation, sparks, hot metal, fumes, noise, and fire hazards.
The purchaser is responsible for safely building, wiring, grounding, guarding, installing, testing, maintaining, and operating the completed machine. The machine must only be assembled and operated by individuals with the knowledge and experience required to work safely with CNC machinery, electrical systems, and plasma-cutting equipment.
Always use appropriate machine guarding, ventilation or fume extraction, fire-prevention measures, eye and face protection, protective clothing, hearing protection, and other personal protective equipment appropriate for plasma cutting. Never operate the machine unattended. Keep all people clear of the machine's moving parts and cutting area while power is connected. Disconnect and secure all energy sources before servicing, adjusting, repairing, or entering a hazardous area of the machine.
Hedgehog Fabrication does not certify that a customer-built machine complies with any specific workplace, electrical, fire, environmental, building, or machine-safety regulation. The purchaser and operator are responsible for determining and meeting all requirements that apply to their location and use.
