Shawn, I see you have the Shop Saber round mount. Did you configure both sensors for touch? How well does the ohmic sensor work?

Mine are configured only as breakaway only and wired in series. I use only ohmic for torch off and it's been working great. The only issues I have is when the tip get water in it every now and then. A quick manual torch fire dries it out and it's good to go. I keep my water level down now about an inch below the bottom of the material. My table has a Powermax 85 on it.

Shawn, I noticed in one of your videos that your proximity sensor lights are on during normal operation. Mine don't come on until they are triggered. What kind of sensors do you have? I have NPN NC sensors.

They are also NPN NC but I dont remember what brand they are. They came on the table from ShopSabre. I'll see if there is a label on them or a part number. I have them wired to input 7 set to NC.

I recently made some test cuts with my new setup. You can see the results on my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/marks.makerzone/.
