I just got an Arcdroid 2nd hand and it set up easy and it can make cuts with one path but as soon as i add a second path it doesn’t cut properly. for the 2nd path it wont start the cut when programed to, it starts a half a second or so while on the cutting path. just looking to see if anyone has had similar issues. ![20260401_114148](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/2X/1/1fb26826dd233579ed28a0fcd9316f7cb8862501.jpeg) ---

Okay so I tried to update again and still the same issue. I even tried using the previous versions and it still had the same issues. I am not sure what is going wrong… ---

@SAWBULL That is almost certianly a plasma cutter thing not an ArcDroid thing. There is no mechanism for the ArcDroid to delay a torch fire signal. So you may be suffering from insufficiant airflow or it is possible that you plasma cutter won’t refire untill post flow times out (that’s why there is an “Off delay” in the Tune menu”. What sort of plasma cutter do you have? ---
