not sure what training you need, but arclight has some very good training videos on their site https://arclightcnc.com/training/
if you need burntables specific training then you'll need a burntables rep or owner for that

I definitely agree with "Ogre" I used the Arclight videos all the time while trying to pick things up their brilliant ;)
building my own table from the ground up was the easy bit, learning all the tricks and foibles of plasma cutting is the hardest bit by far so you have to dig in and start learning and these videos make it a lot easier to grasp

Good luck, if I can do it ( :?: ) anyone can :lol:

Maybe saying what your issues are would help us to help you...

Are you having problems or does the thing just not work?
Read issues with the control box on Burntables... No first hand knowledge with that.
Not running smoothly?

Let us know what problems you may be having and maybe we can help...
Of course we will be using you like a bomb disposal robot...

Are you using Mach3? I assume you are, read the manual Burntables gave you. It tells you to go into the scrolling code section and go back to the most recent m09 m05 code, when it is highlighted click on set next line. Then you can move the torch wherever you want and it will go back to the beginning of the most recent cut. After you have changed your tip or whatever you need to do just push the cycle start button. Don't mess with the zero and it will go back exactly to the start of that most recent cut.
