Just got my user approved over on the CandCNC support forum. I will check it out.

CandCNC DTHC controls and SheetCAM TNG for CAM work.

I have been working with another forum member through PM that had the same issues with an A40 and CandCNC controls and he recommended checking...

Uggg, still fighting this issue.

For a previous cut I had forgotten to turn on the air compressor and the arc cut out just like I am seeing when the air pressure dropped too low. This sort of made...

I use Inkscape. It is a free vector graphic software. Works great for CNC cutting.

It also has a feature called "Trace Bitmap" that I use all the time and works really well to make cut paths out...

Hey Mike, thanks for your input!

I will give that new style electrode a try and then if that does not solve the issue I will add in a new start cartridge. Change one variable at a time.

I did...

Yeah had it on normal cut mode, just a hair over 40 amps and 70psi with the air flowing.

I am fairly sure I had the cut mode set to normal, not the setting for expanded metal. I will upload a picture of where the settings were when I was cutting last.

I guess I could give that a try. Machine has very low run time on it. Doubt I have broken the hour mark. Only destroyed one 40 amp tip thus far and that was my fault for running it at 80amps.

Having trouble pin pointing what I am doing wrong here.

Cutting 16g steel at 40amps and 140 IPM all settings set according to the manual for the machine for the torch consumables selected. Also...

Just completed a Shopbot PRT Alpha conversion to Mach3 and CandCNC MP3000+DTHC for plasma use and thought I would share something I did not readily find in the documentation for Mach3 or CandCNC...

I am running on a 10' table with no issues. I do have a tray for the bottom of the cable carrier to run in.

Make sure you import the dxf in mm. My drawing was in mm and exported in mm. The width of the slots should be 1/8" or 3.175mm.

Also I have doubled the size of the cable carrier ends. Everything is working great carrying 1 large extension cable, 4 stepper cables, and a small switch cable. It think my cable carrier ended up...

I liked your design so much after making the original size that I doubled the size to fit my router. In a way of saying thanks for your design I have uploaded a double size cable carrier.

Still...
