    Wincnc torch height control

    Hello,
    I have a practical cnc router/plasma table. The wincnc version is 2.1

    Does anyone know if I can set-up the torch height control or wincnc, to be able to take a limit switch input for torch touch off between cuts?

    I thought I read somewhere the newer versions have that ability.

    Thanks for any help,
    Cutmore

    It's easy to do , a simple macro could run the touch-off switch and you can purchase the THC board from wincnc to run realtime THC!!

    We use all this stuff on our lower end plasma cutting table...
