CORRECTION
Before cutting an important piece, run a test piece without any kerf compensa-
tion. Measure the kerf by subtracting the measured size from the set size and
dividing by two if you measured across two cut faces. Use this calculated kerf
as your new kerf setting. Remember, CNC plasma cutting has inconsistencies
which make it difficult to get better tolerance than ± 0.02" [0.5mm] consis-
tently. Furthermore, there will always be some positive bevel, the thicker the
material the more noticeable the bevel is.

Check for damaged wiring to the problem sensor.
Check that the sensor is clean from buildup of debris and is not being mistak-
enly triggered.
Maximum USB drive size supported is 16GB.
Reformat to FAT or FAT32 file system, this can be done on a Windows PC by
right clicking the USB drive in File Explorer and selecting Format.
Reformat the USB drive as described above. USB drive file systems can corrupt
over time, especially in usage with the CNC Plasma Table where the drive is
frequently connected and disconnected. This usually results in a distorted part
or missing segments.
