I'm building a scribe to run with my plasma.

I have a dyna cnc table with the mp1000 floating head post for sheetcam.

Would you have a modifyed post so that when you choose tool "X" (the scribe) it puts in a offset say x 4.2 y 3.25 because it sits by the plasma torch off to the side.

OR is there another way to do this?

I just don't know how to go about it cause if I zero the torch the scribe won't mark in the rite place cause it's offset from the torch like the torchmate system on there page.

Thanks for any input.

I would also like to know the answer to this question as I am also going to run a scribe with my torch. Can someone please chime in...

TIA

Contact me direct and I can get you a SheetCAM post that allows multiple Z heads and provides auto -select based on a tool number and does an auto preset offset for X and Y. It will work with the MP1000. If it uses the same Z axis then it can be programmed to run the scribe and even trigger an aux output to activate the scribe.
