Re: Advice on retrofit of proprietary plasma table?

Please look at AGELKOM CAP04 capacitive torch height control.it will run in your option 2 and 3. Kinda pricy but very accurate and trouble free.

Re: Z axis Jog while running

The Agelkom is theTHC I'm using. I don't use a stepper on my z axis. I use a small dc motor / driver. All i think I'm going to need from CNC12 is "torch on" and "pierce". I have the Agelkom breadboarded and am playing with it. After watching this thing work, I will never consider...

Re: Gantry plasma table with Acorn

Hi, while waiting for UPS to deliver my acorn and cnc12, I poked around this forum looking for interesting topics. I found a thread on auto squaring and came away with a couple questions.
