Diving during the cut is a function of the torch height control.....yes there will be a setting that will minimize or eliminate this. The height control on the Multicam machines is built by Multicam....so this will have to be answered by them.

So what you're saying is the Multicam guys have poor support and leave a bloke to fend for himself after the sale is made?

That should've been diagnosed with a 5 min convo on the phone?

[jimcolt]

There are also cnc control outputs that have to be set correctly in order to eliminate diving....these will freeze height corrections during corner slowdowns.

In your original post you did not mention that you were using the Pronest 2012 CAM software.....most Multicam machines use software from Shop Data Systems.

Sounds like you have it sorted out.
