You will forever regret building a plasma machine without a proper Z
axis and Torch Height Control (THC). That was the action of the torch
touching and then retreat to cut that you saw. Without the Z axis you
will cut some hobby stuff, maybe. To do a proper job of it, the Z axis

Can someone point me to where I can find how to change the machine units
resolution in axis? As the default for inch is 0. I would like to go
out to 0.0. What would I need to change to change the displayed
resolution?

If you are cutting thinner metal it will warp and the THC is needed for
that..

You won't have any issues with the D525MW and an SSD on that Pico power
supply. I have used several and never had a failure yet.
Some have 3+ years on them now..running 24x7.

I may get your machines confused, but I think the Cinci has Gettys motors

I've never had much luck with G64. The default settings always round off
sharp corners. I usually use G64 P0.1, which doesn't make much difference
to the speed.

About the same for PDM. For true PWM divide by the resolution you need.

Gentlemen,
The ultimate goal is simplification. When I am tuning a servo system I am
not tuning the motor as much as I am tuning the already tuned servo/motor
system. This piles tuning upon tuning and seems more complicated than it
needs to be.
I am trying to dumb down the drive so the LinuxCNC

Gentlemen,
When a control requests a speed from a motor it will send a signal to the
drive ex 500 rpm.
The drive wants to put out 500 rpm of current to the motor but it cannot
because the motor is not turning. The drive knows this because the tach
feedback is zero (the motor is not turning).
There
G64 does this for you without changing the code.
