lost and looking for direction

[billphillips]

I can get my machine to run g codes, follow the pattern around, but It will not turn on my plasma, to cut
do I need to set up m codes to do this , and where do I insert it into the g code.

I was having all sorts of issues with my height control so I disconnected it and manually set it to height

when I look at any of my g codes generated I see no m codes

running torch mate table and software

any help would be appreciated

bill in red deer ps I am a complete newbie

Bill give us some more info about your plasma machine, plasma machine and software. There are a LOT of people that hang out here that can help you get running. Normally you need M03 and M05 codes to control the torch.
