Cutting Thin Gauge Material
Wondering what the thinnest material is you've cut with your plasma table? Any tips? Thanks.

Re: Cutting Thin Gauge Material
Cut some painting stencils from 0.45mm (which I think is about 26 or 28 gauge) zincaneal, had the speed cranked up to 8 metres per minute (about 315 ipm) and came out spot on.

Re: Cutting Thin Gauge Material
The thinnest I have cut is 31 gauge tin plate steel.
Powermax 85 45amp nozzle 325 ipm 25amps of power. Little hard on consumables but nice cut.
