Can anyone tell me how to set the plasma kerf width in Lcam. If Lcam doesn't have that can it be done in Mach3?

In LCam Plasma, you can set up a tool dia. the same as the width of your kerf then offset to the inside or outside...whichever you like.
Never tried it...but it looks like it would work.

I jus create a tool, call it what you like, enter the kerf width as tool diameter and offset in or out as normal.
Works in simulation, I dont have a torch table.
