Lead-in speed to slow?
Hello All, I am attempting to use the rotary plasma plugin to cut some tubes on a custom machine I made with some fellow university students. The machine is controlled through Mach4 if it mattes. For some reason, the lead-ins generated have a significantly slower surface speed. Is there a setting to...

Re: Rotary Plasma Machine - University Capstone Project
Les, Thanks for the response!
With the method you described, would you just get the machine to enter into the 'repositioning sub-routine' between each layer? Is that something I would put into a post-processor or how is that accomplished?
Thanks for your help!

Rotary Plasma Machine - University Capstone Project
Hello all, I am with a group of university students and for our capstone project we are making a custom CNC tube notcher (rotary plasma cutter). The tubes to be cut are for our Baja SAE vehicle's roll-cage. We have some light CNC experience, but we would really appreciate it if someone could point u...

Plasma Cutting and Engraving on same part - University Capstone Project
Hello, I am with a student engineering group and we are doing preliminary research on how we can make a CNC machine that will both cope tube ends with a plasma cutter and then mark out bend lines. Our current idea is to use a Hypertherm Powermax 45 to do the cutting, and then to replace the cutting ...
