Wow, heavy material.. I've cut 1 inch (22mm) spring steel but only with edge start.. What Amps you use? My Thermal Dynamics A80 maxed out to 100A..!! It did a reasonable cut at 9 IPM.. I did some Bead Lockers for a friends 20 rims (Mercedes Unimog) 12mm bolts 24 bolts per ring. I ended up...

OK,, Well it took a while.. But I now have a home made air drier which I need to try out.. So sure enough brings me back to an older problem exporting dxf from TMateCAD and importing dxf to TM 3 CAM. TM3 then imports file showing the Mcode for start stop as M20 and M21 which I want.. But it...

wow plumbrob, please advise what kind of air drier you have.. I live in a pretty dry place and use a moisture catcher.. I blow it out each time I attach the hose.. Strangely, the small moisture catcher for the Cutmaster is inside the multiscrewed cover and only is inspected rarely..

Ok thanks for that.. I checked a number of Jim Colts posts. I believe the newer technology of high definition is what will give my a different torch/nozzle set up. And better cut quality and greater reliability!!??.. I don't know if the inverter type power supply is part and parcel to high...

Greetings, I continue to have frequent problems with this cutter. It stops frequently with LED indicating 85 psi which translates to 'Shorted Torch' error. So..

What does error message 85 on Thermal Dynamics cutmaster 80A mean?? Really getting fed up with the unreliability of my system.. TM 3 Gantry kit 4x8 Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 80A AVHC New consumables just trying to run speed test, 5 lines with start stop then cut out perimiter Start, first line...

OK,, Now two probs: 1 On my multi tool machine, I need an M20/21 code not M50/51.. 2 Actually the second problem is to change tools within the gcode,, as I've done before.. No prob.. 3 Another issue however,, Machine outputing the fgc files requires that the tool path must be Black.. In...

Where in TM3 software is this option?

I've had my system for many years and have come across the following problem: For many years Tool Paths were simply done by selecting and then Export dxf This created the fg c file gcode and was then opened in TM3. This method was simple and worked great for years. I have now been getting this...
