did you find an answer to this question? I can provide answers if not. otherwise, Bystronics tech support hotline is quite helpful

anything to report on this subject? I will likely be buying a Byspeed from my employer, but cannot justify the cost of bysoft. I currently use sheetcam for my plasma.

I may be able to find some manuals on my computer tomorrow. I have not worked on a bystar yet, but Ive maintained byspeeds and bysprint fibers for the last 10 years. Do you have any prior...

I am going to try to figure this out, but will post the question anyways, but I am having difficulty understanding the RefDistance adjustment. The post reads
"dist=9999999
Refdistance=10*scale"
...

Thanks for the info. I will tweak the RefDistance and see what that does for me. I use a higher than recommended pierce height for thin material because I cut a lot of 20 ga, and the weight of the...

the rotary axis sounds cool. I don't have an immediate need for it, but I have thought of projects I could use it for. There are other options I cheaped out on before that I may consider upgrading...

I think the dedicated machine torch is a must. That will be my next investment. how is yours held on JB4x4? looks like my z axis will not hold the top of the Hypertherm machine torch sleeve without...

Thoughts anyone??? I also plan to convert from hand torch on the machine to a "machine torch" I have found that I can buy the main torch body, and the replacement lead far cheaper than the...

I built my 4x4 table about 3 years ago (I think) and I have been considering upgrading. It has served me very well, but I find myself cutting material that hangs off the table quite often. It is...

After sending an email to Ron @ precision plasma, he sent me a quick response... on a sunday! Thanks for the help Ron! He said the pinion gears are 24 pitch 15 tooth, and available from McMaster...

I have been having trouble with my 2 year old Precision Plasma gantry. I noticed a step in the cut periodically, and I suspected spatter on the rack. It doesnt seem to be in the same place every...

Thanks for the info Tom. For now, I have direct drive. This part was drawn in AutoCAD and stored as autocad 2004 dxf. It cuts larger circles great (1.5"). Should the acceleration be turned down...

well, my machine is nearly completed. It is operational, I just need the finishing touches. I have been experimenting with the software, and cutting various materials, but I had problems cutting...

Thanks Millman. I was thinking they came with the kit too, but I checked their site and didn't find anything about them. I will call them monday because I will have lots of questions. Everything...

I was very happy to see my box of parts from CandCNC when I came home yesterday! I am planning on getting my table up and running this weekend, but I dont know what to use for home switches. Any...

Great, thanks Torchhead. I will make a plate tomorrow.

But, can I use SheetCAM and AutoCAD on both PCs with one license? Can anyone give me dimensions of the enclosure for the Bladerunner so I can make a mounting plate before it arrives? I need to tidy...

Well, my table has been built for a couple of weeks now, and I laid down a couple of coats of John Deere Green on it. I am anxiously awaiting my Dragoncut kit from Tom. It has been 4 weeks, so it...

Thanks Torchhead. I did not realize this. I have been exploring so many different gantry and electronics options, I must've forgotten what is included in each kit. I'm sure I will buy the...

Nice work on the table! This is my first post on this forum, however I have been researching CNC plasma tables for a while. I have read this thread a few times in complete admiration. I would like...
