Hi. Know this is an older post but thought I would inquire as to whether the Torchmate X can use the LC100M as a replacement torch. From what I have read it can. Just want to make sure before I pick one up. Thanks, Paul

Hi there. I have posted a few time in the past in this forum. Just seeking a bit of help of what to do to improve the quality of our plasma cutting. I am enclosing pics to show that sometimes even straight cuts go off path and end up crooked. We have replaced our mainboard in our Flexcut 80...

I think you are right about this. I think the light may have been off. If the switch is tripped how do you fix it? From what I can tell I just moved the gantry to it's full limits and it started working again. If that is what actually got it working again. I did try out other things too...

Well it appears after fooling around with it for quite a while that it datums correctly again. Might have been moving the gantry as far as I could to the left then hitting datum. Not sure. But it works now. :D

Hi there. First I want to thank those in the past who have helped me. The table has been working good for the last while until today. I started up everything to find that when I datum the table it moves down correctly on the y axis to the bottom of the table but then instead of going to the...

Hi. I already had the part. We replaced it and the torch is working much better now. As far as I can tell the pressure made some difference. Now it should be set right. But I notice that like before at times the plasma cutter seems to not pierce the steel. Almost seems if you let it cut...

Hi. I was wondering if there are instructions anywhere to take apart the LC-105M Plasma Torch. I see there are diagrams for changing the consumables out. Would like to replace part # 9ss28176-5 if possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Can someone tell me if this is the proper part # for the Head (180 Degree) for the LC105M plasma torch which comes with the Torchmate X table? HEAD (180 DEGREE) 9SS28176-5 Thanks, Paul

Thanks for the info. We do have a dryer on the main line. Will keep testing things out. Is it possible for the plasma torch itself to be the problem with not cutting all the way through the steel at times? Just want to rule it out. Even though we have adjusted the pressure at times the...

K. Yes we have a air pressure problem from what I can see. Changing the hoses to the Flexcut 80 today. Larger size. We did manage to have the compressor come on sooner to bring the tank back up to full pressure and it makes a big difference. Big difference when only the plasma table is...

Just a quick question. Is it possible for the torch to cause problems such as cutting a line for a while and then not cutting through? It seems that if you wait for a bit that it starts cutting again. Yes this does still sound like a pressure problem but I want to rule out the torch.

I thought I would go take a look at the compressor. What I noticed was it seems to come on at around 100 psi. It raises the pressure to 145 then stops. I noticed some people in the back using the air tools and it took it down to 110 in 30 seconds or less. So a drastic fall in pressure in...

Hi. Thanks for the input. Yeah...the pressure seems weird here. I am told that even though the compressor says 100 it is higher. It really does show 140 on the gauge on the back of the Flexcut. Might need a new gauge to test with. My boss says he is sure it is a compressor problem. He is...

I went back and the pressure gauge on the back said 100. When I turned on the machine without doing anything it rose to 140. The front gauge did move a bit to the top of the green range. When I shut off the Flexcut it slowly went back down on the back gauge to 110 or so. Is that normal? The...

Hi. We put a pressure gauge on the back of the Flexcut. At first it was higher at about 140. The gauge on the front of the Flexcut was about 120. We purged and adjusted the front gauge to 80 from about 95. The back gauge seems to be around 115 now. The Flexcut seems to maintain it's 70...
