cutmaster 58 and 9-8311
Does anyone know who actually has one of the interface kits (9-8311) in stock?

Not sure who actually has stock but if you are unable to get one you can hook you plasma cutter up without it. Does your plasma table have auto torch height control? If so do you know if it requires divided voltage or will it operate with raw arc voltage?

thank you for the reply. Yes, I have THC. I am using the proma myplasm controller. I can use either voltage.

Re: cutmaster 58 and 9-8311
can you shed some light on how that is done? I am sure there is a post here covering it, but I cannot seem to locate it if there is.
thank you.

Re: cutmaster 58 and 9-8311
Sorry for the delay, been gone for a couple days. I am not familiar with the inside of that machine but it is pretty easy to figure out no matter what machine your using. Unplug the unit from its power source. You can locate all the wires you need by opening the case and looking at the backside of the torch connection.
First lets locate the trigger wires that turn the torch on and off. If you have a hand torch this should be easy since you can trace the wires back from the trigger in to torch to the plug at the machine and follow those 2 wires inside the case and make the 2 trigger wire connections.
There will be a few wires coming into the machine from the torch plug that are likely all the same color and all terminate at the circuit board in the same location. These wires provide current to your torches electrode and this is where you connect the Negative wire for the THC.
Next locate where the ground cable comes into the plasma cutter. Follow that to where it terminates on the circuit board and this is where you will make your THC positive connection. I know this sounds backwards but this is the way it goes.
Hope this helps to get you started with turning the torch ona nd off and bringing RAW arc voltage back to your controller. Post back with your questions and or results.
