Hello! We look forward to hopefully giving and receiving tips with many of you. We are new to the CNC Plasma world. We are still in the learning curve as to working from design through to cutting. We have had some early successes but also some confusing “fails”.
We are running a Hypertherm 85 , a Premier Plasma 5x10 table with a Promo THC, using Inkscape, SheetCam and Mach 3.
Recently we “designed” a few pieces, sent them to SheetCam, then to Mach 3 and all of a sudden it was as if the table had a mind of its own, cutting things way out of alignment, and even not cutting all the way through the sheet (11 gage).
On another attempt with a different design, we could not get it to show up at all in SheetCam.
Wondering if any of you have any suggestions or experience with these types of strange situations.
In both of these scenarios everything we “see” in InkScape, Sheetcam and Mach 3 looks correct (except when it didn’t show up in Sheetcam), cut paths correct, no Error alerts etc.
Thank you in advance!
