Does anyone know the name of the company that manufactures the USB control pendant Flashcut uses for their remote control?
I need to order some parts for mine.
thanks in advance.

OK finally had a chance to get my son to put Win 7 back on my computer. I installed BobCad again and this time I get a error message!
Called tech support, he setup the turbo meeting and was trying...

Mr. Vectra, I have a Hypertherm 1650 and it cuts S/S very good up to the thicknesses you list. All of the major manufacturers machines are good or they wouldn't be major manufacturers!

You might want to look at the Cebora line of plasma cutters, they have water cooled torches.

BurrMan, my tech who happens to be my son built my new computer for me. He used win 7 pro then updated it to win 10 pro.
I get the error code 0xc000007b when I double click "MillingPost.exe" in the...

I talked to Sean today at BobCad and he took control of my computer. He reinstalled the Microsoft Visual C++ files. He worked for about 30 minutes. He called back
and said that Windows 10 needs...

Yes Sir I checked those settings and they are correct, (same way I had them set on the old computer).
Your question about if it posted before activation-- I just can't remember.
Could the Tech have...

I recently bought BobCad V28. I am slowly at my own leisure learning how to use it.
In the mean time I got a new computer, called customer service and we moved my
license to the new computer and...

I know this is a late post. that IGBT is made by Semikron, it has been discontinued and they do not have a functional equivalent.
So when hypertherm's stock is depleted we're S.o.L.

beachcnc, I like the racks you bought, did you get them from CNC RouterParts too?

thanks,
Mike

Jim, I use a Hypertherm 1650 with the machine torch. My setup used to cut with the voltage steady exactly where I set it.
Something happened in the last several months that transformed my plasma...

xjdubber, the manual doesn't have any info as to changing the internal setting of this unit. The troubleshooting and setup info are on Torchmate's website.
Tech support at Torchmate recommended I...

I have Torchmate's newest ATHC unit.
When I start the cutting process the torch does its thing and starts the cut, as it's cutting the voltage display goes up and down about 4 volts each way, cyclic...

I need some help guys. A lot of times I have to make thick base plates that my plasma cutter won't pierce.
So I have to edge start and set a jog speed at the travel speed for the plate thickness I...

I have a Chinese mill/drill too, well actually two in my shop. One of them is a lathemaster 45 that I converted to CNC the other is a benign 45 made in Taiwan. I replaced the motor on the benign...

FlashcutCNC is the only way to go. I have F.C. on my plasma cutter since 2001 and it works GREAT.
I tried mach 3 on it too for a short while and it ended up in the dumpster.
'You get what you pay...

I have wondered that too, I think the difference is in the power cable the 80 can handle more current.

Kaspar Wire Works or Kaspar Custom Fab can help you.

Flashcut has a whole new website out. Very professionally done too. This company doesn't let any grass grow under their feet, they offer some very impresive products to say the least. All you...

My two & half cents worth, try drawing your parts with Bobcad. I use V23 for plasma cutting and I have similar issue also.
If I use BobCad to draw my parts then I get excellent toolpaths.

Flashcut by all means. Mach 3 is too clunky, not intuitive. Flashcut is rock solid, it works and works and works! It's the only job in my shop I do that's fun!

This has me completely stumped. I called Torchmate tech support and the answer I got was 'it's the carbon in the steel'!
That's an answer I expect from people that hire people off the street for a...

I have been cutting parts out of 3/8" stl plates 5' x 10'
The cuts are long roughly 46" turn then come back 46" (guardrail posts)
I was using a HyperT 1650 machine with 60 amp tip set at 141 volts....

Nevermind I fixed the problem.

I tried again using a 40 amp tip and it does the same thing. I also changed the swirl ring, that didn't make a difference.

Anybody??

I have a similar problem with my 1650 using finecut tips. It won't fire on the 2nd cut while the cooling postflow air is on, I have to wait till it stops then continue cutting. Probably something...

What would cause my machine torch not to fire on the second cut until the post flow cooling air stopped? I cut out some artwork today and it took me quite a while to do because of this problem. The...
