The Cutmaster 50 used two different CD "Capacitor Discharge" Boards. The only ones I have seen a lot of issues with were the smaller ones that are 3.5" X 4"

I have worked on several of the them over the last few months. Even though you might see a spark at the spark gap on the board it might not be sufficient to create a pilot arc.

If your air pressure and so forth are correct your issue is most likely the two white capacitors on the CD board.

Try cleaning the contacts on the battery and on the gun where the battery rests. Use a pencil eraser to clean the contacts. Sometimes the contacts get a little build up on them and it doesn't get enough contact to give you all your voltage.
