Plasma Cutting tips

Proper travel speed
• Maintaining proper travel speed is key to successful cuts.
• Watch arc beneath plate (sparks lagging 15 –30° behind cut).
• Lag lines on finished cut edge should also be about 15 –30°.

Drag cutting
• Torch front-end shielding virtually eliminates damage from touching the torch to the work piece.

Cutting expanded metal
• Pilot arc controller eliminates annoying retriggering when cutting expanded materials.

Piercing
• Roll the arc into the plate to minimize damage to the consumables during piercing operations.
