Hi Daniel , Is the torch on/off plugin on the pro the same as the 2x2 ? And I think I read once its a 5mm dc jack?
Hi Jim,
Yes it is the same 5mm jack.
Will having the THC require a bunch of additional programming when drawing and converting projects?
Can the PRO table handle having wheels underneath in in place of the stationary pads?

Not much more programming. You set 3 different heights in your cut profile. When you post process you set “use z axis” to yes, pierce height and probe offset, just like you would your delay.
This is what I do for my thc. Once you set the parameters a few times it’s like second nature. I modified the post processor to keep the variables set at what I normally use.
For me I set the retract height to 1". Clearance height to 1". Stock top to .06" (this is tip to work distance.
In post process use z axis is set to yes. Probe height will vary for your set up but mine is -.53" (this is how far the torch needs to travel up after it makes the switch when touching the top of the work). Pierce height is set to .06" ( it adds this number to stock top height to get pierce height, so my pierce height is actually .120")
I’m guessing that with the pro table/thc a new post processor will come out with it and a new video to show how to use everything.

As @Burgs04 mentioned, the programming differences are minimal. Most of the new stuff is taken care of by the post processor (custom for the CrossFire PRO that we will provide).
No problem putting casters under the table instead of leveling feet.

Any chance of making a machine torch holder? Something thats a little more rigid.

Yes we will absolutely be offering a machine torch holder for this machine.

Will that be stock? I’m using one @Lil_Abners_Kustoms made and it’s working super well.

For the Pro with THC, will I have to re-make all of my .tap files? They are all made with “keep torch height down,” therefore I was concerned I would have to remake all my existing files. Is this correct? And if I do have to re-make all of my existing files, is there a rapid, easy way to do this? Thank you!
When i make something i always export the file from fusion to a folder on my desktop i call fusion saves so i can go back and make changes then i post process to a tap file.I think you will have to redo them if all you saved was the tap file.
Unfortunately, I only saved the .tap file. I do have the original DXF files, but no extra files from Fusion.
I’m a little confused, it says 10AM Eastern, but the countdown clock on the website indicates that it will be 8AM Eastern. Which is correct?
The presale starts right at 10am EST. I think on the front page of the site it says 7 am PST.
What are the differences between a floating Z used for plasma cutting and a rigid Z used for routing? I noticed that you had plans for the router add on later I just really can’t seem to glean any useful information about the differences on the interwebs 
@langmuir-daniel
Now im confused. Is the timer count down correct?
Yes the timer countdown is correct.
The floating head Z axis allows for the torch to sense the top of the material so that it can accurately raise up to the pierce point. There is a little bit of ‘float’ between the lead nut and the carriage that allows for it to work properly. Unfortunately that would not work well for routing where the forces are much higher and both radial and axial.
Furthermore, the z axis was designed to be lightweight so that it can work on the CrossFire. The Router Z axis will be more more rigid, and have more travel.

Can you have the crossfire pro in your cart ready to go beforehand or do you have to begin adding it after the start time?
it looks like after start time my friend. Good luck!
timer must be wrong because I cannot order yet
