The most important aspect of any CNC Plasma cutting system is the control software that runs it. A reliable and well-built machine with all the ‘bells and whistles’ is less than half of the story. SURECONTROL is used exclusively by SUREFIRE CNC and we reckon it is among the easiest to use CNC Plasma software packages out there.
Hear from Lindsay, workshop manager at DST in Sydney, as he takes us through every step of the SURECONTROL software showing how dead-simple it is to use!

Integrated CAM & machine control in ONE software package (no more countless importing & exporting from umpty-dozen different software packages) – simply create and load your drawing, set your cutting parameters, then press Start!
Software technical support you can depend on. Our experienced team is on-demand to guide you through using the SureControl™ software, every step of the way.
Surefire CNC™ also includes an easy-to-use CAD drawing software with each XT series table.
SureControl™ includes a parts ‘wizard’ (or ‘shape library’) with a host of common shapes which you can modify. Simply set the dimensions you want and be cutting in seconds!
The Torch Height Control functionality is integrated directly into the software so that all parameters can be saved & modified directly in the software.
All plasma power sources sold with the XT series tables are pre-loaded into the software. Simply select your material & thickness, and viola! What’s more, if the cut settings need refining to your exact requirements, with a click of a button you can easily save the settings for quick referencing.
When used in conjunction with the stepper-servo motors standard on the XT series, the software will alert you if the motors need recalibration, ensuring your table is maintained at the tightest possible tolerances.
SureControl™ includes basic diagnostic information to help you trouble-shoot on the run. For example, you can quickly see how much cutting your table has done since initial operation, and ensure regular maintenance is completed by the due date.
A custom initialization process is available in the software. This uses physical limit switches on the machine which assist the software in setting the ‘boundaries’ of the cutting bed, thus avoiding damage associated with the machine being driven beyond its physical limits.
SureControl™ is a Windows-based program meaning it can be operated on just about any standard Windows computer. This means there is no separate control module and avoids the backwards & forwards from your computer to machine controller with USBs.
