99% of the time i use my TM2X4 for plasma cutting but i do occasionally use it with the router. Can this be used with a router setup?

Always nice to see the latest and greatest stuff. I am going to run my old 2X4 until it drops but am always looking for where i will go next. How about the motor specs ect. I am looking forward to seeing the new guides/gears.

thanks for that.

Here is the picture

I own a TM 2X4 circ approximately 2011. I bought the router package at the time but haven't used it for years. Anyway on the router Z axis there are 2 brass pieces that allow the threaded screw to go up and down through them. I know there used to be a plastic piece that would attach to the...

thanks for the replies. I appreciate it

Hello, Normally I do plasma cutting but I want to play around with my router on the cnc. I am trying out fusion 360 and want to export it to torchmate CAM to create toolpath. It looks like fusion 360 doesn't export .dxf files only .f3d .igs .sat .smt .stp Is anyone else using fusion 360 and...

thanks so much. will give it a try.

I actually have program zero location X 0 Y0 set on my import screen. So it should be lower left of toolpath? I will open my directions again:)

So I went to the tool library in my TM CAD and the d1 number for the plasma is exactly twice the number I am off so this is kerf compensation. I also can't change d1 so it is what it is. It is weird that I have never noticed this offset in the gcode before but I think it is ok.

thanks for the reply. I did check as you suggested and it is 0,0. I have had the torchmate many years and never noticed that in the gcode when I do a male toolpath but maybe I just missed it. Any other thoughts

Using torchmate 3 vs 3.0.19 on TM 2X4. I was doing some cutting and I overestimated the size of my metal piece. obviously torch went off the edge and shut off. Every since then when I load a dxf file it changes the x and y axis position by 0.0295. Any thoughts? For example when I use...
