After building my first CNC Plasma in 2000, it was time to see what others do.
Cheers, Lilow.

Thank's to SegoMan DeSigns and acourtjester for the welcome.
Had to have a look at what you look at Segoman Designs.
Just a short rundown, as mentioned previously, have been into CNC for around 25 years.
Since 1979, have been doing specialty Tig welding and fabrication, mainly in aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, etc.
All previous machines have run DeskCNC boards, but now running Masso G2 and G3's.
These "G" controllers, one G3 just installed on the original CNC Plasma built, 2000.
The G2 out of that, has now been fitted into the CNC 3D Tig welding machine developed, replacing the DeskCNC board.
Another G3 is being installed into a Fibre Laser I am building.
All these machines run my own THC for height control.
SegoMan knows this THC as I helped him set it up on his Plasma, he installed an earlier version.
I will be retiring early next year, this will give time to go further with the development of this height control.
By using capacitive sense voltage, I am now able to move over a human limb holding a distance / gap of 0.5mm.
Thats enough for now.
Cheers.
