Bevel on holes - Mild Steel, thicker materials

I have had it occasionally drop out and have had to restart from line in code. Thanks

Ensure that those issues are not a problem. USB shell and controller bushings. The control box can not be on the ground system. It could be a monitor or laptop charger or a bolt installed wrong. They must be separated at all costs. Start unplugging stuff to see if the 3.7 ohms disappears.

If the torch is hunting up and down, you have electrical issues. I have the same setup, and have never used nominal voltage. I leave it on smart and it’s fine. All thicknesses.

At one point I had interference causing the torch to rise, and it was from having the laptop plugged in to a grounded outlet while cutting.

Check for readings in the live voltage box while the machine is idle. If you have voltage at idle, clean the z axis first and see if that fixes it.

Also curious, what was your live voltage when using smart voltage and getting good results?

What are your settings in sheetcam?

Thanks, Ive just re-isolated the electronics enclosure and no longer getting a resistance reading. These things are really poorly designed.

My live voltages when using smart V were around 10-20V higher than the target. From memory, around 155V for a 135V target. I only used Nominal as an experiment but it did the hunting thing so I went back to smart V
