Probe or Arc problem was created by KaleD
At the start of every cut my machine probes down, finds the work piece then fires but moves nowhere. Or it moves down and does not fire at all and also does not work. It doesn't show any errors. And sometimes it does fire and move. The arc ok led is on. I'm not sure what is causing the issue.

comment out this line in plasmatable.hal
net spindle-at-speed    => spindle.0.at-speed
PlasmaC does not use the spindle.n.at-speed pins.

You could get rid of all the spindle stuff if you wanted.

EDIT: You also have conflicting MAX_VELOCITY and MAX_ACCELERATION values in plasmatable.ini. If the values in [JOINT_0], [JOINT_1] and [JOINT_2] are correct then you need to change your corresponding [AXIS_n] values to:
[AXIS_X]
# set to double the value in the corresponding joint
MAX_VELOCITY = 2.0
# set to double the value in the corresponding joint
MAX_ACCELERATION = 50.0

[AXIS_Y]
# set to double the value in the corresponding joint
MAX_VELOCITY = 10.6
# set to double the value in the corresponding joint
MAX_ACCELERATION = 50.0

[AXIS_Z]
# set to double the value in the corresponding joint
MAX_VELOCITY = 1.0
# set to double the value in the corresponding joint
MAX_ACCELERATION = 50.0

I pushed a fix so Configurator will now comment out spindle.0. lines.
