I will try unplugging everything, and also check all the wiring on the Gecko!!

I have the writeup about the plasma side basically done, I just wanted to get some routing info in there as well. I...

Ok, the weather has warmed up, and I found some time while the baby was sleeping to get out and look at it for a few minutes.

When I power on the control box, the red fault light is one at the...

Everything cut perfect the last time I used it after I finished all the reworking. I will unplug the z-axis and see if it seems to fix it. Also will probably wait till its warmer out!

And after 2 months of sitting, now when I try to use it today I can't get it to connect to the computer, I keep getting the message in Mach that the external e-stop is required. I'm getting a loud...

ITS ALIVE!!!!! Swappedin a new 12v power brick and its perfect! Now to figure out the ATHC and get it to actually work with a real plasma cutter!!

No go with the new relay! :(

Checked all the wires from the plasma to the the THC box, everything is good. When I manually fire the torch from the torch trigger, the correct volts appear on the main control box, so I know those...

I will pick up a relay. Is there anything else I can/should check to see what else might be causing the problems? I might wire the old plasma back up just to see if I'm getting the same issues (as I...

Its more of a buzzing with the green led flickering. It seems like its trying to open the relay, but doesn't fully open. The red torch light on the main control box is on while this happened, and it...

Ok, so I did some testing, the Plasma fires if I short the 2 wires at the THC card (per Jim Colts suggestion), but when i try it through Mach3 it just keeps clicking and flashing the green light. Is...

I can't catch a break!!! I'll shoot Jim a PM on Pirate and see if there is some kind of protection or reset somewhere. It still fires by hand with no problems, so not sure why it wont fire from Mach3.

I feel like I'm constantly banging my head against the wall!! I have been fighting issues with my import plasma cutter since I got the table (I knew it would be an issue, but it was all I had). Some...

I only had one router bit and I didnt have a clue what speeds to start at!!

No final projects yet, but got the router all hooked up and working!! Video of the router setup: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6LXMdv0XC81UnE0Mm1TLVFLdHc

Had the speed turned WAY down (like...

Yep, glad you went with BT!! I love mine, I'm finally really getting the hang of the table and getting it to do what I want.

The scribe setup is done and tested, but I haven't actually used it for...

The entire gantry is shacking? Check to make sure the set screws in the drive motors are all tight!! I had the set screw on the A-axis drive gear come loose, so the gantry was only being run by one...

I'm getting ready to setup the router on my 2012 table and am looking for some pointers, suggestions. I have a 2.25hp Bosch router and have already built the mount for the z-axis.

I plan on...

Still using the same thing! I'm hoping it holds out long enough to make enough money to upgrade to a better setup. The Hypertherm 45 is probably all the bigger I would need, but its still out of my...

Having some issues with my Plasma cutter misfiring and messing up my pieces (cheap plasma). Is there an easy way to step through the gcode and have Mach3 re-cut in the spots it missed? The only thing...

I believe I do have it than, I remember seeing that!!

Where on the site would I find that? Can't seem to find it.

I have my plate marker 95% built, I just need to mount it on the z-axis and buy the scribe to bolt on!! I will post pictures and full details when its finished. Other than the scribe, I have less...

Love my 2012 table!! Hoping to do a bunch of test cuts today on 11g, 14g, 3/16in & 1/4in steel and aluminum!! Should have pictures and video up shortly!!
