I control mine with a linuxcnc and a mesa 7i96 + mesa THC-10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0s6sI7IvuY

Hey Joey. Yes I'm Irish. Based in Co Meath.

Have a look here for the THC. https://www.pricecnc.com/product-page

I plan to eventually get one of these when my machine is finished.

Hey Joey, a few of us from the island getting on here now. Machine looks great!

Another option for THC maybe, I hear folk have good luck with Proma Compact THC with Linuxcnc, seems to be a cheap option but requires some HV wiring I believe. I know the Pricecnc one is good for Mach (RTech plasma use it on their tables)

I've never built a plasma table though, that's pretty high on the want list.

I didn't realise Mesa did a THC, that sounds like they way I'd go too. I love linuxcnc. Your table size looks ideal for what I'd be looking to build too (4x2?). Do you have a build thread for this Clive? I'd be very keen to have a look.

No I did it on the fly to keep my old brain active but if you want a laugh see this https://photos.app.goo.gl/aNJ4dyT46fmWJ2Jy8

My table is 2700mmx1400mm. Yeah its my firsh attempt. Im running mach3 however i have read that linuxcnc and mach4 can control THC using the divided plasma voltage as an input to the board as opposed to running a separate THC unit. This would be a slicker solution i believe? Who has done it that way? What breakout board would best suit this solution? Yeah i love the AE86 haha
