Acorn Plasma THC Controller as router

Post by Wazlost »

I have recently acquired the Plasma THC Controller for primary use as a plasma, but was considering the viability of making my table (currently under design) a combination router/plasma table. Is it possible for the Plasma THC Controller to support router operation?

Thanks in advance

Yes

When installing CNC12 you will see an option for a Router/ Plasma combination.

The installer will download both Router and Plasma versions with a Desktop swap button for jumping from the plasma to router software.

Yes, You can switch at any time.

The only change between Plasma and Router is the software folder and license file.
