First Cuts

by Pertneer on February 26th, 2012

I got my New Hypertherm Powermax 65 torch this weekend and finally got it hooked up. After a minor voltage divider issue I have it working satisfactory for now. I do have some intermittent issues with vibrations in the z axis that sometimes leaves a serated edge. I believe these to be from the excessive weight of the z axis. I am in the process of figuring what can be done to resolve these issues, but I need to cut myself a tray to hold the keyboard and mouse. Here is the design I came up with.

The second image is the flatten layout for export for cutting.

This last image is the tool path as created in Sheetcam.

After I decide what is being done to correct the remaining issues I will post the solution. Til then enjoy this video of this part being cut.
