where are you located?  Are you in Reno or just a fan of the show?

I should of said " check these settings"

I have owned both a plasmacam and a torchmate cnc machines.   From what you are describing you have a torchmate cnc machine. Plasmacam and torchmate are two separate companies. 

 

Open up the flashcut cnc software.  you can do this offline.

 

select the "configuration menu".   In the configuration drop down menu select "Output lines."   A new screen will come up... select "output lines" again.  I do not know which output you are using to turn on the plasma cutter.  For example I am using output line two and I named it "Plasma On."

 

Now under the same category menu select "code definitions"    M50 is plasma on setup.    to the right I set delay to 2sec.  this will depend on thickness of metal for pierce cut.    Since I am using line two to trigger my plasma cutter I put a 1 for line 2 in the M50 line.

 

 

Try this and get back to me.

The above link is for a Parker Industrial Hydraulic Technology bulletin.  This will give you a full understanding of hydraulic systems.

 

I am concerned about some of the above comments.  It is important to know PSI = working force not flow.  Flow = speed.  While speed = inertia it is not the proper way to achieve results in hydraulics.

 

I have not read anything about pressure relief valves in the systems for example.

 

 

Please understand I am not trying to criticize, come across as a know it all, or perceived as arrogant.    I just want to help if I can.

most impressive!

wonderful work!

very nice profile

Rich, another very nice knife! Thanks for sharing the pic with us.

May the Lord walk with you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers

Nice Hammer! I cant wait to see some work you do on it.

nice anvil. what is that interesting steel work on the floor in the background?

My wife is ill and it might be life threatening. We are still waiting on more test. I would appreciate your prayers for her recovery.

thanks for sharing the pics. I am sure I would of went crazy at the auction. :)

ok, my two cents... lol... I like the aged rusted look, but I know someone who likes his tools purple. :)

yes nice work. the file work, shape and I especially like the hilt design

Stan, I am very happy to hear you are home. Since your daughter brought this up... you be nice to your wonderful wife and daughter. I wish you the best and hope to see you at your hammer-in as feisty as ever.

Stan, its good to hear you are leaving icu soon. I wish you a speedy recovery.

will be thinking of you Stan! speedy recovery mate.

thanks for sharing pics and vids. looks like it was a great time!

I am in Albany, about ten miles from Corvallis. Corvallis is a nice white collar town that supports the arts. prices for homes are high and taxes in benton county are high. Steel supply in this area comes from salem or eugene.

Corvallis has a nice climate and is a pretty area.

I prefer small towns and rural areas myself, but if you want to make the money... I would settle near a larger city. supplies are easier to get, customers with money are present etc.

another wonderful knife Rich!

my swap meet haul today!




well I am having trouble attaching pic... :(

My anvil that I cnc cut from plate has a beautiful voice, but she's a bit thick in the waist. I still love her tho. I call her Gertrude However, I'm not sure but I think there may be something going on between her and Olaf, my tire hammer. They sit really close to one another and whenever I enter the shop, there is an uncomfortable silence . But when she begins to sing, my doubts vanish..... at least until I turn out the lights again

Dodge, you need to write a book! I am still LMAO

Nice find. congrats!

I am considering buying a Plasmacam system, Have been for years and think its about time..

Anyone have any experience or own one... or a competing machine?

Monstermetal, Your welcome to come to my shop and check out my machine. I still have a copy of the plasma cam software I use, you can check that out too.

I have read the post on the link given and agree with most of the responses. Everyone has different expectations and experience to draw on.

Do you want Industrial quality, ease of use. The big factor is what is your budget and experience.

Checking machines out in person is the best way to decide what is right for you.

Contact me via private msg if you want to come to Albany, Oregon and check out my setup.
