What do you use for Plasma THC?

Post by martyscncgarage »

I'm planning a router table build and will use it for plasma as well. I plan to build a water table to slide on top of the main table.

I thought it would be good discussion to find out what others are using for a good reasonably priced Torch Height Control (THC)
And how it operates. What limited knowledge I have at this point is that the THC actually controls the Z axis, and if so, how it and the CNC control work together. Of course we are talking Acorn for the control here.

Those look good.

I ran across these as well:

Will be good to hear from others using these systems.
