    Wincnc torch height control

    Hello,
    I have a practical cnc router/plasma table. The wincnc version is 2.1

    Does anyone know if I can set-up the torch height control or wincnc, to be able to take a limit switch input for torch touch off between cuts?

    I thought I read somewhere the newer versions have that ability.

    Thanks for any help,
    Cutmore

    have you called wincnc, they have been very gracious with helping me on many issues, remeber they sell time and software, there is another fellow on the forum cnchelper who has shown a good background with this software, i have never used it with a tourch

    It's easy to do , a simple macro could run the touch-off switch and you can purchase the THC board from wincnc to run realtime THC!!

    We use all this stuff on our lower end plasma cutting table...
