Manually Cut?

[buckmaster1967]

Hello,

Very new to the CNC world. Is there simple way with the Masso controller to use the keyboard to make a manuel cut? Like if I have a scrap piece of sheet metal I want to trim up. Is there a way I can turn the plasma on and run down, jog Y or X with the keyboard? Learning as I go.

You sure can.

Set your Z axis to whatever height you want it, go to MDI on F3 page and type M3 to start the plasma and you then can job the machine around as normal via the up down left right controls on Masso. M5 will sit the plasma arc off.

or just create a small gcode file on MASSO itself, please see this: https://www.masso.com.au/masso-documentation/?section=creating-new-g-code-files
