I have a 2x2 thats running driver version3 and cad lite 8 is it worth upgrading to a newer software/firmware platform? What extras do i get with it?

bummer. Any 3rd party programs that can do that with an imported dxf?

Is there a way to see how many cut inches the part has? Ive been calculating it by using the run time and the speed that i have it cutting at, but that will also have the jog time in it as well. I feel like i would be better off charging for cut time vs cut inches.

so i have it cutting the inside parts way better but it leaves more slag. Not that big of a deal for a better cut quality. The only issue is that now the outside cut has slowed down to that same slow speed because most of the part has arc's to it. Is there a setting that always cuts the...

you can export a dxf in fusion 360. You have to go into the 2d mode and right click on your part on the left column where the little lightbulbs are and there is an export dxf or save dxf in the drop down menu. Ive done it before for a random part.

this is what i needed to know! thanks. I changed the max arc feedrate but since its not an "arc", its a 90* turn, it didn't seem to do anything. I'll give this a shot and see how it does. is this something i have to manually set each run? It doesn't look i can set a percentage of normal...

guess i should have put the table specs: torchmate 2x2 manual height control esab powercut 1300 plasma 40a new consumables 80psi air 12ga material at 70ipm and i slowed it down to as much as 40ipm

How do you slow down cutting out holes and other small pieces inside your material? Im cutting some 12ga at about 70ipm and the outside looks great with minimal dross but the inside smaller holes are a mess. Its a rectangle hole used to line up another piece of 12ga "tab" on the material and i...

i think i got it: from pirate: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/torchmate-cnc-forum/999973-looking-pinouts-mo-501a-controller.html#post13240782

okay, thats about what i thought. I have a cable/connector to plug into the input. Do i just pick 2 pins for my "motion allow"? You went a bit over my head on the setup of it in the driver software. I dont see anywhere in the Input section or under the Macro's that would give an okay to...

i have a 2x2 with esab powercut 1300 plasma. The machine is working and cutting fine but i have one annoyance with it. Ive emailed support but they stopped helping when i said it was a manual height control. basically whats happening: I hit start on the program. The table jogs out and the...
