Problem & Equipment
Identify the symptom and capture the machine configuration before changing anything.
Load a Personal Machine Profile
Optional: populate equipment and settings from a saved member cut chart.
Guided Diagnostic Path
Follow a controlled sequence. Complete the checks in order and record evidence instead of changing several variables at once.
Selected symptom
Bottom dross
Use the plasma-cutter and torch manufacturer’s cut chart as the controlling reference. The guide organizes tests; it does not replace the equipment manual or safe work procedures.
Machine Settings Attached to the Problem
Values are stored internally in metric units and displayed in the selected working units.
Before-and-After Evidence
Attach private photos to the session. Each image is stored in the member’s protected Supabase folder.
Before Testing
Document the original defect before changing settings or parts.
After Testing
Show the final result or the latest condition after corrective actions.
Controlled Test Sequence
Record the exact change and its result. The history remains attached to the report.
Maintenance & Corrective-Action History
Record cleaning, consumable replacement, air-system service, grounding repairs, mechanical adjustment and other work.
Resolution & Verification
Close the diagnostic loop with a confirmed root cause, corrective action and production verification.
