Hey everyone! I need some help! I had a client drop off a piece of copper that he wants me to cut a simple sign out of. I don't have much "spare" material for what he wants done, and I have never cut copper so I have NO idea where to start for settings/speed etc.
It is 20 gauge copper and I am running a Plasmacam 4x4 DHC2 table. My plasma cutter is a Hypertherm Powermax 85.
Some insight on speed, amps etc would be greatly appreciated to get my started with some test cuts. Thanks!

Re: Cutting Copper
Your settings will be very similar to aluminum. If you have some 20g aluminum to get things somewhat dialed in on and when happy there do a test cut on the copper and go from there.
