You may also want to adjust the feedrate for the scribing. Thank you Vmax, I didn't expect anybody here except Les pays proper attention to code sections, I appreciate it. :) What feedrate (metric of course) for scribing do you suggest from your own experience? Especially for precise cross marks an...

As a thought would it not be better to create the entire X mark in one operation rather than breaking it up into 2 functions. Lower the scribe one time run the X code then raise the scriber. As is you are lowering the scriber , scribe one line then raise the scriber , then lower the scribet again t...

Hi again Les, I had a feeling I am not going to get away with 2 lines that easy... Solution works - tested, it does reference before each plate marker segment how we wanted, however, it does not move the torch to the starting point of each segment - ignoring Scriber offsets... Would you please be ab...

You can add the Gcode to do a simple X mark at the drill point center from the post. From the drill center point Mxxx (turn on scribe) G91 (set Inc mode) G1 X-.500 (move to startpoint) G1 X1.00 G1 X-.500 G1 Y.500 G1 Y-1.00 G1 Y.500 Mxxx (turn off scribe) G90 (reset mode to ABS) Now everytime you ca...

Hi Sean, Thanks for your input, could you be please more specific? Part example: steel plate: 6mm hole diameter: 6mm number of holes: 30 average distance between holes: 50mm - tolerance 0.5mm :shock: So you would plasma pierce through, then what drill size? What kind/type? Or burn 4-5mm holes then o...

How to center mark small holes with scribe only?
Hi Les, For some time now we are successfully using "plasma drill" operation to pierce centers of small holes for manual drilling later. I export DXF from SolidWorks, all small holes go to separate layer in Sheetcam, then set hole min-max, plasma drill and tadaa - works perfect! However wh...
