@Rod
What time is it there ?
Just discusing with some friends over coffee and french fries.

We are GMT +10 so its 7:30am now. Nothing like a 4:00am start though!

At the present, I adjust it when I change material thickness and correspondingly cutting speed. ie. A job cutting at 760mm/min to a job now running 1,900mm/min

That is probably because I haven't sorted kerf crossing out yet.


Kerf crossing might be an exception for a small subset of users because your kerf crossing algorithm is better at detecting a torch dive than corner lock.

This is based on my particular machine which is only 600mm and capable of very high acceleration rates. Unfortunately, I have not been able to revisit this other than what is in the kerf crossing thread I started.

That is interesting, most others seem to think the opposite. Maybe you acceleration is too high?

Non-sense! Can never have too much acceleration, just ask any car guy! Kidding aside yes, I'm able to out accelerate the arc, my fly weight gantry allows me 1.3G in X/Y which is why I see things that others, who have more iron to throw around, do not.

Image 2 of this post shows kerf cross locking torch height when cutting into the corners of a 25mm square hole. 5 corners & 5 lockouts of THC...

Just an unintended feature that I'm taking advantage of... Don't let that stop you from making changes that you see fit.

Wow, that's quite a bit more than HT's target of 40-50 mG.

Ooof. I didn't know that plasma was that low. Thought it might be similar to a quality machining center. Do you have a document that you can point me to, Phil?
