I don't, but if it helps you at all my screen is 1440 x 900. I have a touch screen for the Tormach Lathe, and I ended up unplugging the touch part, I hated it. But some people love it. Again, to each their own I guess.

Thanks, just trying to get a feel for what resolution screen folk are using, my machines use 1600x900.

All my other machines run 1280 x 1024. If I didnt have the odd widescreen, that's what I'd go back to as I have an extra one or two laying around.

1920X1200 on all monitors, but i do use a lot of laptops also and two of them are 1920X1080.

My thoughts exactly, a machine controller is a machine controller.

I use one 1920 x 1080 with Gmocappy. I really wanted a smaller one but the price was right.
And another new addition to the CNC machine collection has touch but I guess I should not mention Windows 7 on this forum.

Just got the machine back up and running with Plasmac again but on a new PC.

1/4in A36 HRS.

15mm thick mild steel, 24mm holes, cut with Trafimet torch and consumables, nozzle orifice 1.4mm, cut at 85A and 600mm/m.
No pictures of the finished part as there were over 20 people around the machine by the time it finished the first run of 10 parts.
Very little dross on the underside as can be seen on the first picture.

Forgot to add the video of it being cut.

Oh yeah, videos...

Some parts using tabs to connect small pieces. 3/16 cold roll(ish), 5in wide flat bar, hypertherm powermax 1000 g3 with duramax retrofit torch.

Very nice, thank you.
Especially glad since i know how much it took for you to get here.
