Re: The end is nigh! (well sort of...)

I rarely contact sheetcam for help but have always gotten a reply from Les when I needed it.He will be sorely missed in my opinion. I am retired after working 58 years solid. It took about a month of retirement to realize that I needed something to occupy me. I had worked in the coal industry for 30...

Re: Erratic plasma cuts

Checked the Motor Tuning and for some reason the X and Y numbers were off. Contacted Eagle Plasma Company and the owner gave me suggested speeds to set the motors on. Had to change the settings he gave me to lower numbers because it moved too fast. Experimented with the settings and it seems to be d...

Erratic plasma cuts

Recently started having problem with my plasma cuts. The cuts do not always follow the tap file outline. This just started and I am not really great with software. Not even sure it is a software problem. I will attempt to include a picture of the tap file that I loaded into Mach and a picture of the...

Re: tool number

Thank you. That appears to have solved the tool number problem. Should the "Automatically Generate Name" message appear every time I open tools ? I remove the check mark each time. Again I apologize for being so poor with computer use.

Re: tool number

Always before when I load a dxf file and click update operation a tool shows as T1. I have tried deleting the new/large number but when I load another dxf the large number returns. Can I reload Sheetcam and possibly correct the situation ? Sorry for being so poor with computers. Thank you for replyi...

tool number

Leave it to me to have an off the wall problem. I do not have a tool list on my table/pc. When I use a dxf file on sheetcam it has always generated a tool numbered as tool 1. This has always worked fine but for no reason sheetcam is now generating a large tool number usually 6 digits. Anyone help me...

Re: Random torch height

Hope this will work. As I said I am not very computer capable. The 2 straight lines are the ones that are the problem.

Re: Random torch height

I am not using THC on my table. It is weird that this only happens on straight cuts and not all of them. This never happened until I updated to the latest Sheetcam. I am using the same file as before and they never did this before. As I said in previous post I am not the most computer savvy so bear ...

This happens randomly when the torch goes down for cut height it will touch metal then instead of rising to cut height it will slide along cut line then raise up to cut height at end of cut. Only seems to do thi...

Re: Torch cut height.

Thank you for the response. Checked the rapid clearance. Settings are the same as they have been. Torch is still doing the touch metal and slide across straight cut then raise at end of what would have been a cut then does a pierce cut and stops. The same files I have cut before without any problem ...

Re: Post processor failed

Had some problem with files not post processing ever since I updated to 7.0.13 version. Liked the older versions better. Less complicated. I have an older plasma table working with Windows XP. Just hobby work.
