This is great! It's tricky to get people excited about CNC. Who knows why. It's always hard to walk the line between technical and entertaining. I wouldn't worry too much about piercing with your plasma. I can usually get 500 pierces on a nozzle, and have gone well over 1000. It works out to something like $.06 per pierce.

@ThePostApocalypticInventor 26 күн бұрын
Hey Wes. Nice to see you here! I will have to automate the third axis on the cnc table to solve this issue. This particular kind of plasma cutter cuts best while in direct ocntact witg the the workpiece. However while piercing it is recommended to lift the nozzle of the workpiece for a short moment. If you don't do that the nozzle wears much quicker during piercing. That was my problem so far.

The big CNC table is a scrapyard masterpiece, so inspiring. Don't let the poor performance of the plasma table video get you down. These new tools will pay dividends both in what they allow you to do, as well as future well-performing videos that would not have been possible without the new CNC tables. Hope the surgery goes smoothly, and you are back in action shortly thereafter.
