You're welcome, I'm glad you got it worked out. On the topic of separate machines, the logic is there and holds water; it's almost like multiprocess welders, unless you drop some serious money, you're compromising. And I, for one reason or another in the past, needed both couldn't afford both, or didnt have the space, I know I'm basically handicapping the machine, whichever gui is loaded but not ot the point, parts are out spec, or customers bringing stuff back. The plan is to build another machine for a 3 to 5k fiber laser, ditch the plasma altogether, and mount an ATC spindle and vacuum holding to this current one. I've been really good this year, hopefully a smoking deal comes through on BidSpotter for a laser source. This is the 5th iteration of a CNC gantry-style machine I've built. I went HAM on it just because I'm tired of being tired of not being satisfied with it. The .5" flat bar on top has a reference shoulder machined in and a skimmed on both sides im gonna use jack screws every 12" or so in pairs to get this thing as coplanar, square and level as pyhics will allow, me to and then use a metalized epoxy to bed the bar to the frame and finaly a few stitch welds to lock it in. ce la vie i gues. Your set up is pretty gangster
