Good day to all
We've recently bought a TruCut Cnc Plasma Table and our Representative told us that we should use a Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 152 well things haven't been going to smooth with my cuts I never got straight cuts with it we have a compressor with a radiator that dry's the air we also have 3 plug in wall dryers and the actual machine has a dryers also we've also tried to us nitrogen and still the cuts are angled is there anything anyone think that I could be doing wrong I am cutting 1/2 mild steel amps are set between 100 - 120 torch height is set to .19 pierce delay 1.00 and pierce height is set to .10 the plasma speed is set to 27 I get the best cuts at that speed if I lower the speed it bevels even more, I want to thank anyone that would be willing to help me thank you again.

Sometimes the consumables and retaining parts of the TD torches come new with bad threads that kick out the working parts of the torch to the side. Take your torch out and take a good hard look at the working end. Should be pretty obvious if its the torch or not.

Re: Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 152
I have went many years without a o-ring failure. Ir's just not a common problem with them if you take care of them.. I replaced my first o-rings this year, and only because I Had some. One of the most knowledgeable people on Victor machines was Mike at this site,, Have not seen a post for a while. BTA plasma generally has good info on Victor machines too..

Esab does not own Thermal dynamics by the way.. Colfax does..

By purchasing a Hypertherm you are supporting an employee owned business. They are really focused on the customer!

Re: Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 152
Last I heard some time ago Ross's health had declined and they packed it in. Trucut has nothing to do with your Cutmaster 152 so we can still work on getting your 152 sorted out if you want to post back with details of whats happening.
