General Mach Discussion / Tool shows up as an error!

« on: September 28, 2012, 10:08:16 AM »

Morning All!

 Just finished building my table, 5x10  CandCNC, and Sheetcam.  I'm pretty close to getting good cuts.  But when I load a tap file from sheetcam the tool always shows up in the error dialog.  I entered all the info from the charts from Hypertherm for 45A finecut consumables    Also sometimes during a cut an error will flash intermittantly about tip voltage, but it flashes by too fast for me to see exactly what tge message is.   Any help would be aopreciated.....   It's great to see the machine workung, just need to do a little more tuning!

General Mach Discussion / Re: New people welcome !! Come in here and introduce your self!

Hello All!

   Just finishing up my build on a 5x10 table.  You can check out the whole build here:  http://plasmaspider.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7444   I started out knowing almost nothing about Plasma cutting, and am still learning.  I learned a lot by building my own table, and am glad I took on the project.  A little more tweaking, and I should be good to start cutting!

  I'm retired Army after 23 years, hence the screen name...   Was a general contractor for a lot of years, and now I'm an apartment maintenance tech during the days.  Trying to get a metal art business going so hopefully I can do something I really like in the coming years.  Will be doing a lot of metal art, but I also just built a hydraulic tube bender, and do welding as well, so I plan to develop a line of tools, products, art and whatever to get the bussiness up & running.

  I really like Mach so far, and even though there's a learning curve to it, it's well worth the time, especially when you start seeing results coming off the table!

 Look forward to getting the table up & running & thanks in advance for all the help I'm sure is available here...
