Re: Tru Cut A80 Thermal Dynamics Will It Work?

I have all of the Acorn boards installed and mostly wired in, but I've hit a wall on the thc board wiring. I have six wires coming from my plasma cutter.

Re: Tru Cut A80 Thermal Dynamics Will It Work?

The only earth ground I have is on the incoming wire from the building. Do I need to go through the slab at my table and install a copper rod?

Re: Tru Cut A80 Thermal Dynamics Will It Work?

The stepper killer motors will have to go on the list of wants for now. I got the control box gutted and all of my wires identified and labeled. I’ve been told that Tru Cut would change things up to keep people wondering and that turns out to be true. The pins coming my plasma to the machine were pi...

Re: Tru Cut A80 Thermal Dynamics Will It Work?

Should I upgrade my Gecko drives to the Gecko Raptor drives when I install the Acorn?
