Need Help Troubleshooting - Torch quit Arcing

Post by kbwill »

Still a rookie at this entire process, but was cutting away successfully when the torch on the CNCquit arcing halfway through a cut. Cannot get the system to strike an arc since. I did put the hand held torch back on the plasma cutter and it worked great, but the CNC machine still won't go. Any advice is appreciated.
