I have a cnc router and I know how that works, but how does a cnc plasma cutter work?
how does the cnc or Mach 3 tell the plasma cutter when to turn on and off, I can under stand it would be like a cnc router as in x and y, and z determines where cuts will be made, but how does the cnc actualy triger the plasma cutter to fire? is there an extra cord running from the control box to the plasma cutter, do you need a special plasma cutter with a computer hook up?
