    Has the air pressure dropped too low as that could make it shut off ?

    What M-codes are you using to activate/deactivate the plasma? M3/M5?

    Also, what happens if you change the feedrate?

    It looks like the Z-axis is lifting before the end of the cut so you are losing the arc.?
    Do you have THC.?

    Post the code so can see it and I will try on our Plasma.

    Yes, it's far too slow but that's not the issue.
    -use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.
