Cutting copper with powermax 65

[donaldlsabo]

So I'm expanding into blacksmithing and I was wondering how to go about cutting copper on my plasma table. I currently use a powermax 65 running at 45A finecut(I only had enough room in breaker box for 50A). I'm looking for some cut profiles for cutting copper using fine consumables if possible. I guess I'll need to know what consumables to acquire and profiles to use and any other information I will need. Anybody that is familiar and knows how this is done please give me whatever pointers you can. Thanks a bunch!

For copper simply follow the specs for steel (same height, amperage) but you likely will have to reduce speed a bit. It will take a little experimenting but will do a good job.

You realize that at 240 Volts, its input current is 44 amps, so as long as you don't have other equipment on this circuit, it can run at full potential.
