Disable probe on plasmac was created by GubbyMcDubby
hi all 
im new here and i'm currently in school (mechanical engineering), we're making an plasma table for this semester project. as of right now we're almost done and during some test on it tho we cant figure out how to disable the probe when we start an test, we have made our setup so that it hits the material on the table and makes that the home, and then in the materials we have told it what hights it should cut it, so we dont need the probe, also atm. we dont have the waterbed on the table yet so we're trying to make the test up in the air.

This is the third time i am reading this and still makes no sense.
If you browse a bit through this forum, you can see i have/use/built over 20 CNC plasma machines, so it is very hard to understand why would you change something that works perfectly for something else that will not work at all, or will work ONLY if you have a perfectly flat table and perfectly flat material.
Makes even less sense if using THC as that takes over control of Z axis, so does not matter what you put in the tool table.
Lack of replies should have alarmed you to something being off as there are plenty of Plasma machine users here willing to help anytime.
Material will warp during cutting, always, some more and some less, so using a plasma with no THC is possible but not enjoyable at all, and causes messed up nozzles and bad cuts.
I am pretty sure QtPlasmaC has a feature to skip probing for a given distance to reduce probing time, but i never use it.
I want to press "run" and go do something else while the machine does it's job.
