Can anyone tell me why me program stops 5 minutes into the cut?
Duty cycle on the plasma would be my first guess.
Can you share more details? Cad files, pictures, description.

Lots of reasons.
Phillip is onto something though as I too would guess its the plasma cutter giving up.

I am with Richard on this one: Air Compressor dropped below the air consumption needs.
Could you give us more details? Cutter, Compressor, What stopped (plasma stream, FireControl Error, FireControl freezing???)
Can you post a video on something like YouTube and link to it? (Note: Create a new account on YouTube and just use it for things you want to share with us. That way you don’t need to share everything from your primary YouTube account.)

If you are getting an error message when the program stops screen shot it and post here
I had that happen once before and it was caused because I didn’t have a good connection to the plasma cutters clamp to the particular sheet of steel I was trying to cut. In fact, it would stop cutting at almost the exact same spot every time I retried cutting it.
I had the clamp on a table slat and this sheet was small and not touching that particular slat. Dumb was lesson learned.

Question: is your air compressor running out of 75 psi of supply air?
Are you hitting the duty cycle on your plasma cutter?
Are there any error codes or pop-up screens you can tell us about?
What plasma cutter? What voltage is it wired to?
How big is your compressor?
These are all valuable information so we can comment on a solution.
