    I have a 1515 would there be any reason I could not put the plasma add on, on to it?

    Torch height control? will it have it?

    I have been waiting forever for this!

    Would like some feedback on this too. Need confirmation this will adapt to my 1515 with the high Z-Mod before I invest with the pre-order link sent via email.
    At your earliest convenience, please confirm openbuilds.
    Thanks in advance.

    At the moment its meant for the LEAD 1010.
    There are differences in the Z axis, as well as bed size between the machines.

    Make sure you are subscribed to the mailing for future updates :)

    I had the same question. I've been reading, researching and trying to gain the knowledge that I need before I get my first cnc. I'm looking seriously at the Lead machine and would love a 1510 size. I'll need to search forums to see if this has been discussed. If not, does it sound reasonable to just print the parts list for the 1010 or 1515 and just make changes to the X axis? I like the flexibility of doing plasma also as I have a large metal project coming up. Is there discussion at Openbuilds to offer the add on for the 1515 in the near future?

    All my hopes where dashed when I learned that grlb (black box) isnt compatible with THC.. After using a plasma cutter for so long with THC and IHS i couldnt go backwards.
