    Re: Using Motion controller

    Yes, I've seen I'll probably have to just go for a simple BOB, with all the motor and switch wiring going to it, which then goes to the UC300ETH.

    I've been in contact with Balazs already and...

    Re: UC300ETH-5LPT Supplier

    I have no problem ordering from Hungary. I'm actually in contact with Balazs as well. Its just I need the board as soon as possible. If there is no local supplier, I will just order from Hungary.

    Re: Plasma - Magnetic Breakaway Mach3 Settings

    We're using Ohmic sensing for initial height sense. I used to use floating head, but decided to move to Ohmic.

    But I don't see how this affects the magnetic breakaway. This is just as a safety...

    Re: THC problem - Torch keeps lifting

    Thanks for the reply.

    The voltage reading on the THC display seems to be correct. It reads around 100V at start of cut, but then as it lifts to about 20mm above the plate, reads about 170V. The...
