Thc for diy table

Post by jfaris2977 »

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this cnc stuff and finally have my little table dialed in with info from all of you. My question is I currently don't have thc and am looking to add it. I'm using sheetcam mach 3 and powermax 1000 g3. Its a small stepper table which makes great cuts but the fine cut nozzles get trashed way to quick when cutting 14ga cold roll. Any suggestions would be appreciated and places to find them...

CandCNC.com and Proma are two units that I hear a lot about. Here is some discussion by Jim Colt of Hypertherm.

I don't believe CandCNC sells a stand alone THC. It's built into their controller.

I've heard good things about the Price unit, anyone know where I can find one?

I have used 2 Price units and and would recommend one but it seems they have stopped selling for some reason. Covid has affected many so I hope it is a supply chain problem and not the owner. I have used 2 Proma units (150 type) but the reliability was not there. Some here have used the Mini-THC units as seem to like them. here is a web search with many listed, I do not like the ones that control the Z external to the table controller.
