I have been trying to assist our local high school with getting kids interested in a trade/skilled labor. I have recently found out that they have DHC2 PlasmaCam table with Design Edge software for about 10 years. There is no one left at the school that knows anything about it. The new teacher is trying to get it running and asked me for assistance since I run an automation equipment build shop with CNC machines. When I got there to help, he had cut out a couple stars. However, on the next star the plasma head attempted to drive through the table. He stated that this was the problem he has been seeing. Seems like it might work a time or two and then drive through the table. I had never used/seen one, but I played with it for a bit. Basically started with just a new circle path thinking that maybe settings on saved patterns all messed up. Same results. They do not have any manuals. I told them I would see what I could find out on the internet. That is where I came across this forum. I am thinking that I should set back to factory defaults, and start from scratch. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Sure would be cool to see the kids faces when they are cutting their final exam out of sheet metal
