Cutting holes at angles

[Kevinthebat1]

We are going to be attempting to burn 13/16" holes for pickets in 1/2" bar at an angle.
Using a Hypertherm XPR 300
Any tips or input would be helpful.

Yikes! Never tried to do that although I have cut holes that look like that unintentionally

Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

You have to figure the thickness at the cut angle not the plate thickness when choosing cutting speed.

I was thinking the same.
Thank you.

It's going to come down to some testing.
The software should take care of most of it, then we'll have to tweak it in.
