Joey, Thanks for the help. And patience.
I Will redo the Torch calibration,
To confirm from the posts,I can gather from your replies and help that the Plots look good, and the grounding issues are fixed and I'm good to do further cutting without damage?
Thanks again, it is appreciated.

Re: Torch Height and Amperage
The THC was reading voltage so Technically it has been working the Whole time. The Ground loop and Interference was just so bad all the way through from the First Plot capture that the THC is un usable and at risk of being Damaged. Do not fire the Torch yet.

Re: Torch Height and Amperage
Joey,
I did another THC bench test again just to double check the THC and it performed fine.
Can this be a grounding issue with the table and unit? Or a lack there of.
I have read the hypertherm bulletin on grounding. And have work to do.
