=== Running A Job ===
=== Creating a Job ===
# Start SheetCam
# Import a Drawing from the File menu. Remember that the origin is at the bottom left on Sheetcam, and the origin on the machine is back left.
# Click on Operation => Plasma Cut
# Unfortunately most settings can be changed by other users between jobs. Some that seem to work:
** 130 ipm feed rate
** Tool: T11: Plasma 12 Gauge (or whatever gauge you're cutting)
** Note that Inside/Outside offset determines if you're trying to cut an inside edge or outside edge.
** You may need to select a layer.
# Click OK and the path should be generated and display.
# To create a TAP file go to the P icon at top left. That's post-processing.
# It should save as type G-code/.tap.
This is now a runnable job.
=== Running a Job ===
Look elsewhere for turning on the machine, filling the table, turning on the plasma cutter.
# Start Mach3 CNC
# You should be able to move the gantry using the arrow keys to get into position. You MUST start your job over metal - it does an auto z-axis zero/home.
# If "Reset" is flashing, click it to reset the connection.
# Test the job without the plasma on if you want.
# Turn on plasma cutter and close curtain.
# Click Cycle Start (green).

'''NOTE''': These parts are for a t30 unshielded torch, they are compatiable with the T45m when it is run at a setting lower than 30A and cutting materials thinner than 3/16". Ohmic sensing will not work with these parts installed.
