Hi everyone ,
I am making 2 axis pipe cutting plasma /flame
Now the part of the projects comes to selecting plasma /flame controller and all electrical things

I am not familiar with the tubemaster 2 axis pipe software. Have you already purchased the software, or are you only considering it at this point?

The F2300BX is not a motor driver /power supply. Its just got DB25 connectors to an "external" CNC motion control. Its an I?O and g-code reader/
Have several laying around we updated with US controls
The software is Chinese. Better get the manuals and see if you can decipher how to generate cut filess.

Round tune only?
With no CNC background it may be a sharp learning curve with no support

Not sure how you can do it with two motes; One to rotate, one to move along the tube (or feed the tube) and one to lift the torch . Using a fixed torch means no THC and no way to do a touch off and separate pierce and cut height .
