Hey Jim, how many of the washers did you require to space your TNG Plate off your V-rail on the Z-Axis kit?

Finally got my break away torch mounted last night, still working on limits and so on but hope to fire it up this weekend.

I have my torch height control wired into my Hypertherm 1250 so I am nearly ready to fire it up.

I'll check tonight. If you're building right now I'd suggest you just use what ever it takes to eliminate interference.

Im actually goofing at my day job.

I had to use 3 washers on each v-bearing concentric and eccentric bushing to keep the plate from interfering with the V-rail.

I think once I am up and running, I am going to buy the right sized hardware for everywhere such as you did on your gear reduction standoff's just to eliminate the sheer amount of washers and extra hardware not needed.

At that time I can use locktite on all the threads and ensure it will all stay in place.

It's been a long time since I posted my progress here so here's a long over-due update. The table is up and running with the revervour welded up and plumbed for pressure table filling a gravity draining. I'm trying to get my DTHC working and just shot a video showing my progress. I think my tip drops too low after pierce then comes back up to correct cutting height and cuts beautifully to the end of each path. My cuts for 1/8th are best at 120 to 135 in/min and in manual mode see 94 to 97 volts over pretty
level material.

I still need to get the scribe working but the table is very usable now. Here are images of my dhtc setting if anyone would like to comment on fine-tuning the tip plunge to cut height tweaking:
