Just bought a Crossfire Pro, what should I start studyiing?

I also have the PW Cut60. Great machine! However, you may not be aware but it was removed from Langmuir’s “approved cutter” list. Why? Some people supposedly had trouble with too much variation in the voltage exiting the CNC port that comes on the machine. The result was a need to open the cutter up and wire directly to the controller (raw voltage) and use the small voltage divider box form Langmuir.

I spoke with PW and received the following feedback: it was a very few reported instances; they said they advised to use the port; but, I was free to do whichever and there would be no impact to my 3yr warranty if I chose to wire directly to the control board. I wired directly to the board:

Me personally, I like Fusion for both CAD and CAM. There are a few tricks to learn, like giving F360 you cutter info and registering the correct Firecontrol driver.

I have a 5hp 60 gal and on the small jobs I do, it seems fine.

Grounding, I use a magnetic welding grnd attached directly to work whenever possible.

I bought additive (about $180/5gal) but others on here mix their own.

Your C60 manual should have a cut chart in it. If not, email and they will send you a pdf version of the manual.

I added a pic to show my rolling table and water mngmt (farm spray tank, gravity drain, I connect a battery charger to fill). Levelling casters. I wish I had gone a bit larger on those. They are susceptible to small crap on the floor when rolling.

Pics right after I finished my setup.

I used PEX with the quick connect and flex fittings. It was a little more expensive, but I knew a day would come I’d be glad I did.
