I was on a CNC plasma forum and there was a discussion about the merits of these:
Someone was attaching it to his torch to see if it was square to the workpiece. I didnt really see the point, as if the work isnt level then that tells you nothing. I use a engineers square and it works fine.
But.... I got to thinking? Is there a digital version of the above anyone knows of please? i dont mean an inclinometer, I mean just the bubble. Like a sensor or sender or whatever you'd call it.
My idea was to see if its possible to use the signal to fire the torch to rely on the torch being square in order to fire. Main reason was that if you crash the torch and the cut bevels then it will knock the torch off straight away probably causing a lot less damage than the couple of seconds reaction time it takes to manually feed hold.
Any thoughts welcome
