Just got my Crossfire XL set up and made my first cut. I assembled it with the XL kit, limit switches, water table, THC and Z axis. I figured it was easier to do it all at once.
First cut exceeded my expectations by a lot!
I’m using a PrimeWeld Cut60 v3 and using the CNC port for divided voltage and trigger, it seems to work great. I was a bit nervous after browsing the forum though.
Now I’ve got to get comfortable with Fusion. As it seems like the best way to go. I am comfortable with Corel Draw and have exported dxf’s into Fusion and they processed fine, but I think in the long run designing in Fusion is the better way to go, rather than using SheetCam to process my Corel files.
welcome to the forum…
nice cuts for the first ones…
just a note…from what I see in the picture you do not have enough water in the pan…needs to be about 1/2" to 1/4" from the top to protect the bottom…
Hey; Can I ask how you hooked up your CUT60? I am contemplating purchasing a C/F Pro for a CUT60 but don’t want to go through a whole pinout thing. Is there a simple way to do it, please?
There are several ways to hook it up and none are simple plug and play.
Option 1- is to solder the torch on/ off and THC voltage wires to the CNC connector that came with the Primeweld.
Option 2 - is to splice into the torch on/off inside the plasma cutter and connect the raw voltage wires to the torch and clamp lugs inside the plasma cutter.
Option 3 - is to solder the torch on/off to pins 1&2 on the CNC connector and connect the raw voltage wires to the torch and clamp lugs inside the plasma cutter. This is the preferred option for best THC operation.
I used the connector that was included with the cut 60,
Soldered the connections for the divided voltage for the THC and the fire control. A total of 4 wires. I’m sure that I can find the PIN numbers if you need them. I’m very pleased with the Cut 60 and how it works. I use it with a machine torch.
Hey there, thanks so much for weighing in. I’m outside of Scranton up in the Pocono mountains. I will be brand new to not only plasma cutting but to CNC as well. I like my other PW welding products so thought their CUT60 deserved a chance. REALLY steep learning curve for me coming up which is why I was interested in not having to take the machine apart and solder etc. THX!
