Plasma CNC Grounding Clamp

Metal Shop
#1

Hello! I’m going to be using the Plasma CNC later. I’ve completed the training and have used it before but it’s been some time. I am reviewing the docs just to refresh my mind - but last time I was there, I didn’t see the grounding clamp as shown in the following instructional screenshot. Is this clamp still needed, or is the bed now grounded / do I need to look harder?

Thanks in advance.

The bed is grounded.

The entire bed is grounded well with this machine in a star point. Unless you have some unusual requirements there is not a reason to use an individual ground clamp on this machine.
The old plasmacam did not have good bed contact due to the stantions.
