  1. Re: Plasma Cutter Relay Box Build (completed w/pics)

    Good point about the control supply being connected with the 230V disconnected. I think that falls into the "double failure" category as you would have to have an electrical fault from the control...
  2. Re: Plasma Cutter Relay Box Build (completed w/pics)

    I would just simply not connect the C14 ground. It may seem counter-intuitive to not hook up a ground, but in this case, the box is fully protected using the 14-50 ground so including the C14 ground...
  3. Re: Plasma Cutter Relay Box Build (completed w/pics)

    Vert nice and almost exactly as I did it!

    One difference is the ground. The ground coming in from the 14-50 plug is passed through to the 14-50 receptacle and bonded to the box and the ground...

    I got tired of getting on my knees to turn the on/off switch on the back of my plasma cutter so I built a relay box to turn it on. The plasma cutter sits under my water table along with the...
  5. Going from Coreldraw to CorelCAD to get 3D modeling???

    I currently use Coreldraw X6 for all my CNC plasma CAD work and I'm completely happy with it. However, I want to add 3D modeling to my repertoire. My intended use is just to provide a visual 3D...

    Machine Torch Sticking

    I’m running a PM65 on a CNC table with a machine torch and ohmic sensor. The setup is fairly new and I’ve been having this issue since day one.

    The LED indicating the ohmic sensor is touching...

    Thanks Willy, that helps alot. I was thinking there was something wrong with my setup. Today, I cut 20 pieces that were small 4"x4" parts. I did them all with the DTHC turned off and just watched...
  10. Method for Adjusting Tip Voltage for THC Control

    Got my first table up and running and starting to look like I know what I'm doing but the DTHC is still kicking me in the teeth. Everytime I think I have it figured out, it bites me. Otherwise, I...
