 **8.** Set the **THC Low Speed, [%] of feedrate** value. Whenever the speed of the machine will fall lower than this percentage of the feedrate, the possibility of the arc voltage fluctuating rises greatly. Thus, to prevent the torch from diving, the last height value before the speed goes below your THC Low Speed percentage value is taken and maintained until the speed rises back up again.  **8.** Set the **THC Low Speed, [%] of feedrate** value.

 +The below diagram illustrates the way THC Low Speed works. On corners (green), the speed falls below the typical Feedrate #1 (red), so it can be used to disable THC on sharp corners. Feedrate #2 (blue), which is typically different from Feedrate #1, is used for hole and arc cutting. This way, THC will still be ON at smooth corners:

   * **IHC Cutting Height**. After the pierce time has elapsed, the machine moves the torch to the cutting height at which the cutting will begin.   * **IHC Cutting Height**. After the pierce time has elapsed, the machine moves the torch to the cutting height at which the cutting will begin.
   * **THC Start Delay** signifies the time for which Torch Height Control is not turned on after the cutting has started (to prevent metal splashes/voltage variations that are often present at the beginning of the cut to impact the cutting procedure). This delay can be set to ON or OFF in the User Settings.    * **THC Start Delay** signifies the time for which Torch Height Control is not turned on after the cutting has started (to prevent metal splashes/voltage variations that are often present at the beginning of the cut to impact the cutting procedure).

-  * **THC Pre-off time**. In order to prevent sudden movements due to rapid voltage changes as a cut (especially when cutting a hole) is done, THC can be turned off some time before the end of the cut and the machine will be kept at a set height until the THC system will move to the next cut.+  * **THC Pre-off time**. In order to prevent sudden movements due to rapid voltage changes as a cut (especially when cutting a hole) is finishing up, THC can be turned off some time before the end of the cut and the machine will be kept at a set height until the THC system will move to the next cut.
