New CNC torch mounted today.

I made a mount for the new CNC plasma torch today and got it mounted to the table. I hope to be able to make a cut tomorrow to try it out.
The torch is a Longevity unit in case you are wondering. It has a pilot arc lead on it so it should work well for CNC. The torch doesn't look true vertical but I have checked it with a level and it is true vertical. The perceived lean is an illusion.

Excellent work - look forward to watching the video of it cutting!

Here is the video of the new P80 CNC plasma torch in action. My table didn't like the cold weather and was losing steps so I had to slow it down. Very little bevel and hardly any slag. The only slag on the piece chipped off with a slight bump from a screwdriver.
Plasma cutter is a Longevity ForceCut 80 with the P80 torch. Plate is 3/16" thick. Air pressure was set at 65PSI and current set at 55 amps.

Ooooooo...... Nice!!! 



Don't know why you want all those circles but.... Nice!!! 


I know, it has other uses..... Not that daft!   You cutting out a name plate/number for your house soon? 



That's quite a chunk of steel to cut too.... Never used a plasma cutter..... very neat compared to a gas cutting torch. 



Looking forward to seeing what you have install for this machine...... (other than top secwet work stuff obviously!  )

The circles will be bottoms for 4" pipe crucibles for my foundry. Don't really need that many but circles are the best way to see if the torch cuts on a bevel. Circle cuts are prone to beveling due to the swirling nature of the plasma jet.
