that's a good idea and I'll probably do it in the meantime. However, it still does not give me independent control.

He said wish so I'm wishing... I don't expect everything or anything to happen, but if you don't ask you don't get.

Re: Plasma CNC12 Wish list

3) It would be good to independently be able to control the cut speed and the travel speed while running. Specifically It would be nice to be able to quickly alter the speed of travel between cuts while the gcode is running. For example, if I have a number of small cuts very close to one another th...

Re: Z axis Jog while running

I see that version 4.12 has been out for a while, but I did not see anything in the release notes addressing this issue. Any updates? I would be really happy if I could get full manual control of the Z while running the program. Not the most sophisticated, but it would work for my application. Thanks

Well you got me there. Unfortunately it seems to make more money doing it’s job than showing off for the camera... hopefully an action shot soon!

Combo flame plasma retrofit

Well, finally got to cut the first piece today. Took longer to do the wiring and calibrate everything than I thought it would. Bit of a learning curve with the new software but we’re getting there. Original system ran mach3 through parallel port from windows xp. New setup uses the acorn, cnc12, and ...

Re: Output Control Both Auto and Manual

Program runs feed hold when it calls for a dwell after the preheat. If I cycle start it activates the cut and continues like it should,...
