    Automatic THC on/off.

    Hello.

    Is there a way to make the THC go on and off when cutting holes smaller than x diameter etc?
    I've got a relay board that controls the Plasmacutter so I'm thinking the THC should be able to be turned on and off likewise?

    Thanks,
    Mr. Emo

    You can turn off THC withing the g-code.
    G-code M54 P1 enables THC, M54 P0 disables it.

    I'm using Proma THC SD as recommended on the website. Bought this system 1.5-2 years ago. Not sure if that would work with the SD?

    Have you tried it?
    On website we recommended the Compact THC 150 since we did not have any experiences with the SD version.

    I would suggest that you try your SD THC and see if it works ok.
