EZ Cut. I'll have to go take it apart and check the controller, but I think it was also labeled with their brand name. If it's theirs, I'm worried that my chances of another manufacturer being...
The manufacturer of the plasma table we use vanished, website gone, phones unanswered, BBB complaints unresolved and flagged with a warning. Is there a.. generic repair tech service? We apparently...
I'm running in torch lock mode, so It shouldn't have anything to do with the continuous pilot mode. I guess I'll check the airlines, since we don't do thick materials very often. Thank you!
Apparently, I'm missing about 5 different documents from the manufacturer that might help clear this up. In the mean time, I found a setting in the software that says it always runs in "Continuous...
I read recently that grey electrodes indicate a torch cooling problem, but I couldn't find anything about what that information actually means to me. My manual says the torch is cooled by ambient air...

We have an EZCutCNC 8000 series plasma table, and we've been very happy with it for over a year. https://www.ezcutcnc.com/plasma-table-photo-gallery/
All of a sudden a couple months ago I started...
We've gotten it square, and we've already tightened the set screws on everything. It moves smoothly between commands, and there isn't really any slop when you just push things around. It will execute...
The only mention of backlash I can find in any of my documentation reads: "DRIVE SYSTEM – Zero-Backlash drive system is powered by heavy-duty NEMA 34 drive motors."

I'm actually not sure there isn't another issue. This is the only thing we've found that's actually off by anything. The manufacturer told us that if the table isn't square, it will bind up and...
I have a stepper motor on each side of the gantry.I have the software that came with the table, but I don't see how to control each motor individually, just how to control the entire axis. I jsut...
When cutting a piece out that should be square, my bottom edge is 1/16" shorter than my top edge, and instead of 90-degree angles, I have 90.121-degree angles (or 89.879-degree). It's not much, but...
Thank you very much! I will talk to the manufacturer of the table.
Continuation - Doing some test cuts today. My Kerf width appears to be quite different than the estimated width in my book? My edges look chewed out along curves. That's using a new tip and a new...
I typoed. My cut height is set to .06" not .09"
Using Shield 220948, 220930 Nozzle, and Electrode 220777
This happens even with brand new consumables:...
Using the recommended cut charts for a FineCut nozzle on 14 Gauge Mild Steel. Right out of the operator's manual for the Power Max, and pre-programed into my CNC software.
