Hey Marty,

I'm curious to know how you faired with this build. I'm currently changing over my router table to a plasma with the same CUT60. Any issues getting it set up?

Thanks,
Rich

The Cut60 will not work with the Centroid THC.
Primeweld is actively improving the machine.

Would you mind elaborating? What is it that makes it not compatible at this time?

Very few manufacturers (like Hypertherm) provide a nice clean plasma torch reference signal.

You can use the cut 60 with the centroid acorn plasma system, just can't use it with the THC control. So if you have flat work and don't need a THC it works fine.

the divided voltage output is all over the place on these China plasma units, PrimeWeld seems to be interested in improving their products, so we're waiting on them to send us a new unit to test

Thanks for the clarification Marty.

Kieth, this was going to be my next question. I'll start a new post for that. Thanks.
