Hi all,

I am quite new in the CNC world and even newer in the plasma cutter community.

Rather than a long introduction please visit my web page devoted to my hobbies : http://freedom2000.free.fr/index.html

I would like to buy a small chineese plasma cutter 50A. It is a "touch to cut" system. Do you think that such a system is convenient for a cnc;
could I use it in the following manner ?

- z axis down to touch
- arc ignition
- z axis up
- cnc cutting
- arc off

is there a risk to burn the torch if starting the arc in plain material ?

another question : what do you think about this cheap unit :

thanks in advance
