Hello
i want to do a test of my cnc plasma, I put a limit to find the 0 of the tole.
I know how to do gcode with cambam but the problem with my plasma c is that I have to cut in contact with The tole then I go up 2 mm.
I have to do to generate the gcode?

Inkscape has gcodetools included that can do plasma CAM, NativeCam has plasma CAM.
If it is to have the torch find the metal and go up 2mm, you have to do that in Gcode, inkscape can do that for each cut, i did not test NativeCam for that as i use a config that does everything automaticly.

Big John T has a touchoff.ngc file here that will show you how to do it.

The first 4 files of John's are his configuration and I think a screen. The touchoff.ngc is the touchoff gcode (which is what you want) and the next file is the post processor he uses with Sheetcam.
