What THC Settings do you use in Mach3. I am trying to chase down an issue with torch raising and not lowering and I believe it has something to do with the Tipsaver function in Mach. My THC Has its own Tipsaver so I have disabled the button on this screen in Mach. Of course the screen is generec, as I have the Antidive light unlit, but the setting for SlowDown Anti-Dive is at +60.0, THC Delay (Sec) is 0.1 and THC Rate (%) is +5.0. I am wondering if I up that first number from +60.0 to lets say +80.0 if it would cure my problem? I am thinking this percentage is basically forcing Mach3 to ignore my THC signal to bring the torch back down due to what I currently have it set at.
It basically does this on long cuts and the thing is my table cutting surface isn't exactly perfectly level due to years of cutting. Just tired of this happening.

I don't have a solution for you but is this a new problem that has just come up or has it always done this?

Its always done it, so it shouldnt be anything I have changed recently. I've always just dealt with the problem but I never get to nest a whole sheet of things because of it.

Re: Mach 3 THC Settings
I looked and I saw my Z minimum was set at -.25” which is not very low. I set it to -1.00” and I’ll run some things tomorrow night. I’m going to feel real dumb if I’ve had this issue so long and never figured it out. Haha
