Title: Plasma kerf width in Lcam
Post by: kevoler on August 02, 2008, 10:31:38 PM

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 have LC Ver 2.58 and I cannot find where I would enter kerf information. Can you please help me find it ?

Thanks, Alex

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.
