Team,
Over the weekend I built a new control panel with an Acorn CNC control board setup for plasma cutting. I have everything tested and ready to run but I can't find a PP in Fusion 360 library for plasma cutting. I do all of my drawing in Fusion so it would be great to PP out of there. Is there a PP available for download. Any help will be greatly appreciated
Regards

Re: Post processor for Fusion 360 with Acorn
Thank you for the link. I see there are two choices to download. One that says Fusion Acorn Plasma and one that says PlasmaRotary. Is there any difference? Is one a newer version of the other one? Which one should I use for a 3 axis plasma table
Thanks
Thanks

The Rotary Post is a Sheetcam Post.
The Fusion Post is the one you want.

Re: Post processor for Fusion 360 with Acorn
Is there a way to slow down holes to get better cuts with the fusion pp?

A Commanded Feedrate on the Circle after the M61 will work.
M61 will call the Profile Feedrate.
The Commanded Feedrate will need to be after the M61 Pierce cycle.
