Re: Dry run button
There is no reason for that, you can run a G-code by the normal way, just turn off the THC it you have it clicked. Keep the Plasma unit off so no plasma will start, All motions will happen to show the cutting action. If using a Ohmic sensor or floating head switch you will need to the metal loaded for it to touch off.
