I'm looking for a good file that has both plate marking and plasma cutouts in it and a reference to what it should look like. Like a sugar skull with some detail that can be done with the air scribe and then some cut outs for the plasma.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Help needed! Dialing in a new plate marker.
i would make you one real fast but i am not near my computer. I would just make a random shape i would think a star or something like that so you would get full 360 movement. Then just make copy of it reduce the size a little and center it.
that is how i would do it.

Re: Help needed! Dialing in a new plate marker.
Thanks! I've tried a few things, I'm still trying to get the mechanics of it dialed in. When it comes to the dxf's it's a matter of making the tool change in the gcode and telling it what's plasma and what's plate marker and when and what gets done first. I love TM support but I work the same hours @ my day job so it's hard to call when I have questions. Last week I went to work an hour early so I could haul arse home and call them and that got me most of the software settings I needed.
