Hello RDA,

This would most likely be only for edge cuts that can start from off the material. Though I would like to also be able to have it used for designs. I could simply ensure I have a start cut first that comes in straight then I can do the actual design coming into that. I didn’t think of this, thank you!

when you say till the whole lifter do you mean the entire z-axis? Or just the torch? I plan on having the torch attached to a circular break away plate that is fixed with pins. Then it will marry with a circular dial of sorts with holes every 15 degrees. Therefore you will be able to manually remove the torch breakaway and lock it into another pin set.

i can disable the THC for this feature if that would be easier.

Hey Tommy!

Thank you!

I will be using a Hypertherm 85xp so the cut width capacity is around 3/4”… sort of. The angled cut thickness will have to be tested and tried. I’ll see if there are alternative tips for angled cutting and pressure recommendations. Good point!

any thoughts on programming the machine to know the offset? Say I angle it 45 degrees, when it plunged down it will have to plunge further than it normally expected to detect the material. Then once it is ready to start cutting the torch top will be whatever distance offset from the machines predicted cutting point, since it’s set to one side at an angle. Can I set specific offsets for the machine, then assign those offsets names like “15 degrees angle”? 

Hello Everyone,
I would like to have the ability to create an angled/beveled cut. I can simply redesign the way the z-axis attaches to allow degrees of angling. Though I'm curious how I would go about compensating for the possible voltage difference, the distance offset due to said angle, and the z-axis limit in terms of configuring with Linuxcnc. There may be even other things I'm not considering as well.
