With thinner stuff I just make sure I use 40amp tips.Also have the water level higher to help with the metal warping.

I hardly cut thin stuff now though.I go thru sheets of 1/4 inch a lot.

My...

Mine did the same thing and its an easy fix assuming we have same exact problem.On mine a ribbon cable? had came loose in the grey box that holds the electronics.I called Nikki and she guided me thru...

Has it really been that long since someone posted in here!?

How is everyone's machine running? I have been putting mine to full use finally.After my last user error woes I have been cutting parts...

After talking to a few owners I most definitely am getting the prob with the machine.

We have been so busy at the shop we still haven't been able to make our way over to the HAAS distributor for...

Thanks for all the insight guys,im taking all the info in.The machine isn't 100% hobby use,it will see some profit work but I didn't want to post all that.This is a small world and I didn't want to...

I have been gathering info on which full cnc mill to buy as my first.

I've pretty much narrowed it down to the TM1P for several reasons.It runs off 220 which is all I have for now,no 3 phase.Also...

Here is some motivation for you.

Im actually still on the same start cartridge and cup.I figured the cup gets worn but not the cartridge.Guess i'll have to order some of those.

This is -some- of the stuff I cut out of 1/4...

For both the 1/4 and 3/8 i set it to .15 pierce height.Before I run the program I also have the torch lower to the work piece than I used to before.

I'll see if I can get some pics up today,I cut...

Did some messing around in sheetcam and basically adjusted the pierce height on my tool for that job.

I cut out a complete 1/4 inch 4x4 sheet and another half sheet before I hit the TD's duty...

Well I talked to Nikki over at PlasmaRoute and she gave me a few tips but I leaned towards her 1st troubleshooter.I cleaned my plate with a flap disc to get a better ground on the clamp.The thick...

I did quite a bit of cutting today but towards the end my torch would stay in place.It would run without the THC but run like crap moving too high with the arc.Anyways I dont know if its related but...

I have time today to whip up something for myself so im going to take advantage of that for sure.



Did you reduce the colors in the pic first?

Got my cutter back from TD.The part was free but they charged $118 labor.The dealer I dropped it off originally told me they didn't get info on what exactly was replaced so im clueless on what they...

Dont see really how you could go 5 axis with a plasma cutter.

Also in general maching with a mill,dont think $20k is going to be enough to step into a 5 axis machine.The new HAAS UMC 5 axis is...

I took my cutter into a welding supply and TDynamics picked it up.Still haven't heard back though on status.Basically the TD rep said it sounded like the power supply went out.I mentioned I barely...

Its still single phase where I moved to.Im itching to finish my dog gate with a nice cutout but guess im stuck like Chuck for now.Worse comes to worse I hope I have some kind of warranty! :o

No power at all which is weird cause the meter is showing its getting juice.I didn't see a reset button so im stuck for now.

At least I used the dryer with my blast cabinet and it was working good.

Got my dryer in,hooked it all up,flipped on my torch and it was fine.Like 2 mins later it turned off while sitting at idle and it wont turn back on.Already switched around the breakers and all...

I just ordered the same dryer online.It was $401 shipped but I got a coupon code online and it knocked it down to $325! :banana:

I finally had a fork lift move my table to my bigger shop in the same business strip.Hope to be cutting again next week sometime.I still need to move my compressor,wire that 220 in and also plug up...

Billy have you called Nikki or Steve about the issue?

If bad air is a possible culprit,why would it do the whole cut with the THC off though? Still same air.

You guys too busy with your real jobs or what?

:p

Anyone cut aluminum yet? I want to but at the same time dont wanna go thru the trial and error on it since its pricier. :p

I can make mistakes on steel all day and laugh about it,not aluminum or...

Dan when you wrote a filter at the output of the compressor did you mean right where the air leaves the compressor? If so thats not a good place for it.The water is still vapor then so most of it...

Post some results when your up & running.Im sure your not the only one looking for a similar system.

Where did you get those prices from!? Thats ridiculous.Everyone has something about the machine they use.I have a plasmaroute table that I spent $12,xxx with the upgraded torch and state taxes...

You know what they say,you get what you pay for.

My personal fav - it takes money,to make money!

Has anyone successfully made a "home made" waterjet yet? Im guessing the parts to make it are pricey as already mentioned.
