Well after almost 6 months I've finally worked out all the kinks on my diy build. I made my first cut and everything was working pretty well not perfect but not horrible either. Then I cut a simple 3x3 square with 1.5 circle to begin tuning and everything goes crazy. It cut pretty well the first time and then got better after I slowed down the internal circle. Then the 3rd 4th and 5th cut everything goes to crap. The inside circle is crisp and smooth but the outside square has two sides that have weird squiggles in then and 2 straight lines. I can't for the life of me figure out why. The gantry is square that thc appears to be working. Then the 7th cut it works great and then the 8th it goes back to squiggles. They are always in the same place and the same pattern. Any ideas?
Table specs: percision plasma 5x10 gantry, candcnc bladerunner kit with 620 oz in. steppers, power max 45 with hand torch for now.

It almost seems like the thc isn't reacting quick enough and draging on the plate, or maybe I need to reference the z after each pierce.
Any suggestions ya'll?:cheers:
