question for ya'll

Post by ironhorse »

I do all my cutting with 14 gauge. I run plasmacam with hypertherm power max 30. My brother in law wants me to cut some 1/4" mild steel. Can someone give me some pointers on settings please.

Thank you in advance,

Greg

I have the same machine combination and have cut 1/4 treadplate with very good results.
Sorry, but the settings are saved on the shop machine and I'm at home.

I'll try to remember to make a copy and post them tomorrow.

Here are the mechanized settings. These are from the Powermax45 operators manual for use with the Powermax30 consumables.
