Has anyone here got a cnc table running?
i've just built a small one and ordered a new cutter to fit onto it, due to budget, i couldn't get a non-HF start torch but the one I have coming has a socket for CNC triggering so I presumed it will be ok.
since ordering I have read nothing but bad stories of how HF start plasma cutters wreck pc's and cause all manner of control issues.
i have taken care in building my table to ensure no low level signals are taken outside the control cabinet but have not used screened cable on the stepper motors as I presumed the high current/voltage would stop rf pickup problems there.
I have also got a hand control pendant but apparently they can be a nightmare for interference too.!
this is doing my head in now, has anyone got a CNC table running on an HF start plasma torch and PC????
