Anyone have experience with Kjellberg HiFocus 160i with PerCut 160 torch

[TeknisCNC]

Want to start of by saying Hi! and thanks for the tips and links to useful things here since this is my first post.
My setup is a Kjellberg HiFocus 160i using a PerCut 160 torch on an MGM Autogen 8x2m (26x6.5 feet) table.
I am currently out of consumables for stainless steel cutting and since I am in Iceland I will not get them delivered until next monday.

Has anyone tried using cathodes, nozzles and shields meant for carbon steel on stainless?

I have consumables that tolerate the high amperage I need to use so my thinking was:
Instead of S052 I would use S012
Instead of S2516 I would use S2116
Instead of Z4535 I would use Z4135

Any advice appreciated,

Unfortunately it is unlikely that anyone here will have an answer for you on that one. That brand of plasma cutter is not common and most folks here are using air plasma, not multi gas plasma. I expect the different consumables you listed will cut your stainless, you just may not get the same edge quality your used to. I would give it a try, let us know if you do.

Thank you @weldguy I will have to try next week and will post results. I am concerned about kerf and cutting speed and have quite a bit of 316L ss in the recycle bin already so I decided to ask.

Worth try. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
