Congrats. I just got my pm25mv converted also. Great times ahead i'm sure with some frustrations. lol

Nice Job!!! I'm in the research part of my conversion. I know I have settled on the pm-25mv though. Did you go with mach 3,4, or acorn? Just custion on the spec side of your build also. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm happy with my 98-z which is a 1st gen model. The guy I bought it from bought a 4x4 torchmate because he wanted to run a machine torch and he said he really missed the plasmacam table. esp the...

Ok thanks very much Jim. I have been meaning to get on that yahoo group for some time now so this gets me to finally do it. Thanx again

Well Jim you called it. I checked the short belt and there was a flat spot with some teeth missing. I was lucky to have a spare one of those with the spare parts that came with the machine. I see a...

I'll have to look at the limit switch part. Hummmm. Do you have a website link for sdi so I can order some belts. Where can I find a pert number for the belt also? Sorry so many noob questions but...

Ok guys I'm hoping some one may have a solution for what my machine is doing. I'm cutting a header flange out for a sbf and the machine doesnt seem to be cutting it in sync. What I have the machine...

I found my best price on eBay and got my unit the next day. No problems at all.

Off subject a little but where did you get your air dryer from and how much. Thanx

now that I just started doing more cutting I noticed one problem. When the plasmacam is cutting and the air compressor comes on the plasmacam software stops cutting and the pause light is on. I try...

well as I was day dreaming about a easier or better way of trueing the position a hand torch sits in the plasmacam fixture I came up with a simple idea. I'm going to take a drill bit that fits...

Since I'm on my home computer I can finally load a pic of one of my 1st cut outs. Its 3/8 plate with the hypertherm 1250 set on 80amps. There is some bevel that is more from the torch getting nocked...
