General Mach Discussion / Call plasma mode with gcode?
« on: November 27, 2011, 05:41:50 PM »
Hi all,
Have been a lurker here for a long time. I have been using M3 for awhile now and have been using plasma mode for over 6 months when doing 2.5d, as well as arcs and such. This tends to eliminate the jerky point to point cutting when milling at high feedrates.
Now My question, Is there a way to call plasma mode with Gcode, Using say an M or G call? I have a need to change from CV or exact stop to Plasma and back during some milling. I can use G61/G64 call from Exact stop to CV but that does not accomplish what I need
thanks
MK
