Cutting Brass Sheet

[islander261]

Hi

I need to cut an art piece out of .080" C260 brass sheet. I have a Duramax torch with Finecut and 45A shielded consumables. Does anyone have a good starting place for this? I was thinking of starting with the Aluminum cut chart for the 45A consumable and going between the 1/16" and 3/32" settings. Staring at about 220ipm. Has anyone done this before?

Brass have quite a varied blend of alloys but I have cut it a couple of times and done as you've said, used the aluminium charts and had it come out OK. Still needed a bit of a linish and polish.
