Video shows a Precision Plasma gantry kit on my custom built table cutting a mounting plate for two air regulators and two air solenoids that will be used as part of a scriber / platemarker / engraver set up for the table triggered via Mach3 using M08. This is 16GA CR sheet cutting at 225 IPM. Plasma Cutter is a Hypertherm Powermax 45 at 45A using a T45M torch. Series of pecks for drilling, and some stencil text that came out OK (MARKER / ACTUATOR). The DHTC did stop the cut which does happen occasionally when cutting text, I just clicked RUN in Mach3 and the program continued.

This is a video of a K2 CNC router cutting Birch .75 thick. 2.5D 3 Axis cutting using the new VisualMill bridge feature. The software allowed us to no need a vacuum table or special fixtures. .375 Dia Bit was used .40 depth. 2 Finsih passes to prevent pulling the part from it’s bridges. 6 bridges were used.

This video shows a sample being cut for a potential customer on a Torchmate 2×2 CNC Plasma Cutting table. It is using a Thermal Dynamics A120 plasma cutter cutting at 40 amps. We are cutting over a new 2×2 water bed made specifically for this new Torchmate 2×2 machine. It is cutting 14 guage mild steel. The Arc Voltage Torch Height Control is only sensing pierce height and is running in manual mode after piercing the material. This was done to simulate running with no height control at all as most 2×2 customers do not purchase or need torch height control.
