Hello
Since I got my plasma running
I sometimes need to mark a dot with the plasma...it does not need to go thru.
I used to use sheetcam where you need to setup it up and changed the postprpcessor.
How would this be done in Cnc12? I am using vcarve to send it to Cnc12 for cutting.
Tnx!
Quick marking with the Plasma

Re: Quick marking with the Plasma
Your looking for m64 marking macro.
The timer for the m64 is set in the profiles THC config menu.
You g code should have a rapid to the mark location followed by an m64
Example
G0 X1 Y1
M64
Heres a thread touching on the subject

Hello.
As I understand it, I need to modify the gcode.
When I was using sheetcam someone helped and modify the postprocessor and in sheetcam you use the drill operation for quick blasting a dot.
How would this be done from Vcarve to CNC12?
Tnx!

Re: Quick marking with the Plasma
Have you tried the drilling tool path function?
I also use Vectric for toolpaths for my plasma running wincn. I’ve purchased the acorn w/thc to convert.
What post processor are you using?
