Re: SheetCam Hypertherm 45XP .tool file (inch)

Acorn Plasma Takes care of any ''Tool'' settings. Acorn Plasma comes with all default Profiles from Hypertherm.
Acorn Plasma does not use any of the tool information from Sheetcam .

Sheetcam Has a forum if you really want the Sheetcam toolset.

Re: Please help! I fried my THC!!!

Thats odd. Can you post a fresh report Please. The Report will have all you settings and macros. So I can then really see what the control is doing and why. Can you also Post the G-code used. I'm thinking the M61 macro is at fault of there is something going on in the G-code. Was the G-code job from...

Re: Speed around corners

Lowering the Parameter P223 should help with Arcs. I wouldn't take P223 below 100. Setting the Drives to 6400 and the wizard to match should also fix the speed up issue. The Laser offset issue is puzzling. I've even loaded your report on a fresh 5.08 build and Laser set X/Y functioned as expected. I...

Re: Torchmate accumove 2 conversion

Did you try the different duplex settings? I've seen some PC's that needed the Duplex setting changed or manually set.

100mps or 100 Half duplex or 100 full duplex.

Re: Speed around corners

Those are some nice cuts. Clean and smooth. Is the Wizard set to 3200 steps/rev for X and Y? I think the last report I saw something like 6400 Can you post a fresh report with the latest settings. Can I see the dip switch settings on the drives? Did setting Parameter 223 to the 100-300 range help?

Your Machine with Acorn Mill is Controlled by the Gcode completely. If the Job stops without an error in the message LOG. it was most Likely something in the Gco...
