General Mach Discussion / PLEASE HELP WITH PLASMA

« on: June 24, 2017, 04:00:48 AM »

Hey guys I am building a 5x10 plasma table... I want to know more about the wiring of the plasma to the thc and B.O.B for mach3.

Hardware.
SH-HC30 Chinese THC.
Hyptherm 45xp with machine torch and cpc output.
Chinese 5 axis B.O.B

Currently unsure of the software.

Asking for a diagram or some sort of instruction on how to do this.
I seen this video and i am grateful for the man who made it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ-SLFUMMEQ
Any advice or input is welcome here! Cheers.
