Slag on tight corners was created by CopperHead
Id like to reduce the amount of slag I'm getting on tight corners, I've searched the forum for settings on the THCAD2 and the 7i96s and really haven't found anything related to it. longer cuts and or curves come out perfect its just tight cutbacks it leaves a pile of slag. I'm cutting 12ga Steel and reduced my speed from 120 to 100 for the 12ga settings. So I'm not sure if I'm getting the height control locking at at the right time or its something else. my air quality is consistent and I run a refrigerated drier so I know my air is clean. I did change the Post processor to one of the Updated ones here called Plasmac local materials for setting the material from plasmac instead of sheetcam. it improved quite a few items during cuts. Maybe my motors and drivers aren't tuned correctly? open to anything to reduce the amount of cleanup I have to do after the cuts lol. and i might have left out some speciffics needed so ask away.

Slow cut speed = plenty of hot slag = hard to clean
Happens due to limited acceleration of the machine as it has to slow down a lot on corners.
Try upping the acceleration for X and Y axis, it should help a lot if you can get the corner speed near the normal cut speed.

My Current max acceleration is set to 25. I'm not sure where i got that number from unless it was a carry over from my motor and driver settings in the old Mach 4. any suggestions as to what they should be . running NEMA 23 425oz motors and the Stepper Online DM542T Drivers. Don't remember my settings for the driver but I'm pretty sure i went conservative on them as I couldn't find the correct Drivers settings in Linuxcnc
