I'm getting unwanted random straight cuts

Post by JesseBaker »

I'm cutting some things on my plasma table and on one certain job I'm getting random straight line cuts. I'm using sheetcam and when I click on the "show rapids" they appear as blue lines with no assigned start #. Is there a way to delete these in sheetcam?

So is the torch cutting during these rapid moves?

It was on two of them. Neither of which had an assigned start point and (or) number.

What program did you create your problematic drawings with? Perhaps post the file (or one of them) that is giving you these random straight line cuts so we can have a look.
