Re: Corrugated Issues

Speeding the Z up more should also help. 200ipm max rate could be better. Max the Z out and find its limit.

Or dial back the Feedrate. Try to cut at the slowest Feedrate and amperage as possible to get the Z more time to react. Tune ...

If so please attach a snip picture of the plot.

If the voltage rises more than 7 percent of the target voltage then anti dive will kick in. Default settings is 7 percent o believe I would increase the anti dive from the stock 7...

Re: Acorn Plasma THC Controller as router

Yes

When installing CNC12 you will see an option for a Router/ Plasma combination.

The installer will download both Router and Plasma versions with a Desktop swap button for jumping from the plasma to router software.

Re: SheetCam Hypertherm 45XP .tool file (inch)

Acorn Plasma Takes care of any ''Tool'' settings. Acorn Plasma comes with all default Profiles from Hypertherm.
Acorn Plasma does not use any of the tool information from Sheetcam .

Sheetcam Has a forum if you really want the Sheetcam toolset.
