AIMFAB, did you go with Plasmaroute or did you find an alternative hybrid plasma/router table?

AIMFAB, did you go with Plasmaroute or did you find an alternative hybrid plasma/router table?
Thanks for the feedback. In doing a thorough review of my setup I came across the Post Processor not being specific for the THC301, (Texas Microcircuits/Sound Logic made a good unit with great...
I run SheetCam with Mach3 and a THC301 made by Texas MicroCircuits. Use a machine torch with a scriber plate marker. Thermal Dynamics A60.
Attached is a text file of the Post Processor file I am...
Okay I figured this one out. Drew a temporary horizontal reference line to divide the drawing manually. Cut the vectors on the intersection then saved the A vectors and B vectors into separate...
I have a 48" x 48" plasma table and would like to know if it is possible to cut a rectangle 20" wide x 70" long from a 48" x 96" sheet?
I've done this in other software where the post processor...
Oh, not fun at all. Let me know if I can be of any help. I've become quite familiar with the PlasmaRoute configuration over the past 18 months.

I've created 3d files from both ArtCam and Aspire and they run fine on the Mach 3/PlasmaRoute configuration.
PlasmaRoute already has the dual profiles setup for Mach 3. When you open the...
Hello,
Can someone provide direction in setting up a tool path in Sheetcam to cut a part that is longer than my 48" table? Part size is 88" x 24".
For non-metal substrates, I typically...
Mine is configured with the plasma cutter, router, and pneumatic scribe. The tubing cutter would be nice but I don't have it. Keep us posted on what configuration you ultimately decide.
Yes, they are good people.
My system took about 7 weeks to complete. I'm very happy with the product and have been using it almost daily now. For the price, you can't beat it.
Sorry to hear that Alex.
Are the LED's on the front of your cutter displaying the proper air pressure? No other red fault lights?
Keep us posted.
Dan
Thanks for the update Billy. That is great news. What a relief to know that moisture has been the culprit. Those pieces you cut today look great.
I'll have to fork out more $ to get a dryer...
Keep us posted Billy!
Yes, I am guessing bad air as well. I'm not clear on the data link between the Plasma cutter communication with the computer. But if there is logic in the plasma cutter electronics that tells Mach...
Yes, I am seeing the same issue and have not been able to identify any pattern to it happening.
Beautiful! That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks sodfarmer!
Dan
My apologies if this subject has already been covered. I'm wracking my brain trying to find the answer.
I'd like to know if SheetCam displays the total cut length and number of pierces for a Part...
I keep procrastinating....Mine is looking nasty too.
Thanks for the info Alex. My compressor setup is what I already had configured to do sandblasting. (Now I share it with the plasma) We have a filter at the output of the compressor to catch...
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the responses. I'll chalk this one up to a rookie mistake. After a couple of frustrating days I contacted Thermal Dynamics and they got me back on track. Turns out I have...
Hey Guys,
I have my system up and running but the torch keeps going out when running large projects. (Cutmaster A60 with machine torch)
Is this likely due to an under-sized air compressor? I...
LOL....Yes....I feel like a kid again! :) I love it!
Hopefully I can start to make some $ with it soon. Once my rack is done I will make a video and hopefully start getting some business from...
Promised I'd try to get these posted tonight....not the greatest of pics....but you can see I was able to get some nice cuts to follow the shape of the THC and Computer. The top panel is getting a...
Hey Billy,
Over the weekend I made custom face plates to mount the THC and Computer in a standard 19" rack cabinet. It sits on heavy casters and will be nice to wheel around.
I also cut out a...
Hey Max,
I just got my PlasmaRoute machine a week ago. Drove 22 hours from PA to OK to pick it up. I'd definitely recommend going to their location for the day of training.
Someone else here...
Hey Guys,
With the BlazeHD configured with the heavy duty router, do you know if its possible to do the work shown in this video?
<iframe width="560" height="315"...
Recording the training, that's a great idea. Yes, I'm leaning towards making that long drive. In the end I'm sure I'll be happy I did it that way.
Thanks Alleykat. What about the mechanics of the machine itself? Turning everything on and cutting your first piece of steel.....was it worthwhile to be there to see how its all done?
Yes, I'm really dreading the thought of an 1,100 mile drive. :(
The other option is to have it shipped and just do the 2 hour phone training. What is your opinion on that? Do you think it would...
LOL...oh my......I've not heard about that place for ever! In the 90's I was doing some work in Houston....got my Whataburger initiation and probably gained 10 pounds over the two weeks I was there....
