Re: Masso tube plasma post

I've toyed around with the rotary post a bit, but haven't actually run any of the code yet. I do believe that SheetCam runs the rotary axis in linear units rather than degrees. It uses the center axis as z zero. I think you also have to purchase the rotary plugin for any of the rotary stuff to work...

Re: Masso tube plasma post

Ok, understood now. Well, that .scpost seems like it would be a good starting point. I haven't done any plasma rotary yet (although I have a rotary I use in laser and milling), I'll have to study some other .scpost that does rotary function and see if I can apply to a variant of the Masso .scpost. ...

Re: Masso tube plasma post

Ok, it looks like the joke's on us folks. There is already a .scpost for this controller, use MASSO Plasma DTHC.scpost I found that post before hand. I just looked at it again and the code is outputing a y movement. I need the y movement to be an "A Axis" movement in degrees. Not a y axis...

Re: Masso tube plasma post

I've provided an example of GRBL Plasma gcode below in the case of using a gravity slide torch mount with probe switch on the powered Z axis. If you can provide me with the similar Masso G3 DTHC gcode for the torch touchoff section of the example below, I can perhaps modify an appropriate .scpost f...

Masso tube plasma post

Does anyone have or know of a post that will work with masso dthc? It uses m200 to sense the material and retract and pause for pierce. I am gonna try and run the mach rotary plasma post but I don't have time to hand edit code everytime to get the m200 to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Rotary drawing issue

Split the hole on its own layer. Then you can inside offset the hole and outside offset the other lines. You might have to play with the start points to get the offset on the correct side. Also, make sure you select offset open paths. Where do you select offset open paths? I thought you couldn't do...

Re: Rotary drawing issue

That's a great question, I've had the need to do the same at times but have yet to find a tool in SC which edits a segment of a shape that I import via .svg drawing. So what I do in these cases is I use my 2D drawing program (or CAD) to change the shape segment to be defined on a different layer, o...

Re: Rotary drawing issue

Ok so I have tried to figure this out some more and for the life of me I can't figure this out. I am including some pictures to help try and get my point across. 1. In the flat pattern part I do not want to cut the top and bottom lines. Just the left straight line and the right sinewave line. This w...
