Fine cut on stainless 1.5mm sheet

Post by Zukzilla »

Hi guys.
Running a hyperthem 85 with 45 amp fine cut consumables, water table on mach 3 control
Wondering if this is about as good as I'll see from it or if there is a way to dial it in even better.

Looks pretty good. Are you using lead in's? It looks like it may be piercing on the finished edge but you have little to no dross so it looks good.

Looks good. Are you using the Hypertherm recommended settings from the Finecut SS chart?

Ya man looks great. I have circled the areas I think you may be able to improve upon with a longer lead in, 2mm is pretty short but ya almost no dross is awesome on stainless. Great work :Like
