I am trying to set up Mach 2 (4.0) for use as a plasma cutter with just X and Y axis
I have a controller (Logitrol) and motors hooked up (no machine yet)
In the config boxes I have only X and Y ticked and the motors set at 2,000 revs and approx 80% accelleration
When I load a DXF file I have the feedrate set at 3,000, and zero in all the other colloums
After is has been converted to G Code I notice there is some Z references. Is this normal or is it something I havn,t done in the config.?
Also I have noticed if I change the feedrate up to say 6,000 it takes the same amount of time following the tool path as when it was set at 3,000
All the guides I have found only relate to Mach 2 (6.0) or Mach 3 and I have to use the earlier version according to Logitrol
Its driving me nuts, can anyone help
