That has got to make you feel really good. Nice job problem solving your issue as well. We are probably about ready to mark it solved but we will wait.

Definitely a victory.
I try so hard not to ask for help, as I like to believe Iām very thorough in my troubleshooting.
I will ask a technical question, then proceed with my troubleshooting, but after all options are exhausted then Iāll ask for help.
Guess thatās why I was a little frustrated before coming here finally.
No one on the Facebook group wanted to take 30 seconds to measure their VIM box

That is one reason I tell people to come to the forumā¦FB has a place but does not always work well when looking for information as peopel do not tend to read the whole thread or answers already givenā¦hereā¦people are more technical minded and will read all the comments and offer advice based on what has and has not been triedā¦
Also you get people like the Techs from Langmuir hereā¦

the raw and divided circuits utilize the same board inside the cutter and share some of the same components i believe. Itās also not truly straight RAW voltage since it it going thru that board so the voltage gets āstepped downā some, as opposed to hooking up straight to the lugs and letting the VIM step it down.

Ever since I was forced to run raw voltage, I hated the ālookā of wires poking through the vents.
Sure I couldāve used grommets or the sort to run them through the side or rear but I didnāt want to do that.
I wanted a solution that was clean and tasteful.
Youāll want -
Your favorite cable sleeves (optional, not required)
Heatshrink, you probably have a bunch from other jobs or at least when you first wired up your CPC plug
Soldering iron
Power cables; you can reuse the oneās provided by Langmuir but I chose to cut these ends off (as I tapped into the ground and torch already) and used an extra set I had from one of my Klein multimeters
Two pin connector of your liking; I went with the heaviest duty variant I could find
Small pilot hole, followed by the appropriate step bit makes easy work of this -
Wire up and install your new port -
Put it back together and enjoy the new setup -
And when you need to pull the plasma cutter off the table and take it somewhere, you donāt have to worry about cables dangling -
Iāve dubbed this the Port Mod.
