Torchmate + Harbor Freight Plasma Cutter Test

The Harbor Freight plasma cutter was modified to be triggered by the Torchmate controller. The 0.125 steel piece was placed above a vat of water to catch the sparks. A simple 1" square was written in G-code and the M50 and M51 codes were tested to trigger the plasma. All worked fine for the first test. Further tuning of amperage, speed, PSI and cutter height are still necessary for each metal type and thickness
