Hello,
I bought one 60gal Husky compressor for my plasma table ... it is workin good but if is running for 10 min or more I see oil going thru the air line.
Is this normal to a new air compresor?...
Thank you for the explanation ... I understand perfectly what you're saying except the ".004 load on on the cutter" .... and yes . I can control the speed
Thank you again
--remy
It absolutely did .... I will go for this no question about. I will not stack the material so I'm not worry about it.
Now so I understand - what is the main difference between what I was looking...

Thank you for the input. It all looks good except the fact that I need to be able to make holes too. The one that you recommend has a square end. Any ideeas?
Thank you

I know .... I opened that topic :)
But I still didn't get my answer there.
Hello,
I have a plasma table which can be easily converted to a routing cnc table.
I am trying to cut 3/16" Aluminum with the plasma and I can tell you that I am NOT very happy with the quality....
Hey Andy .... can you send a pic with the 1/2" AL that you cut - I want to see the cut quality. Thnx
Put all the numbers together tonight .... the table cost me around 6k
Add the cutter, compresor and a bunch of other tools - I'm less than 10k.
So YES - is worth to build
So I did try ..... 3/16 AL 60A tip 80PSI
I CANNOT get the 2V sparks ahead of the cut no matter what combination I try.
I started at 140V/90ipm went down to 140/35ipm to 145V to 135V etc ..... no...
Hey Cam ...
I'll give it a try .... I have to reduce the values - I'm cutting 3/16 ....
thank you
Sorry .... works now
Thank you much cam1 .... yes I do have a Hypertherm 1000
I will use the 60A and I will have to calculate the voltage since I have no 3/16 in my owner manual .... also - when you mention 2 lines of...
I am using EVERYTHING new with the 40 A nozzle ....that what's make me upset. I never did try with 60 A nozzle
Hello,
I am trying to cut 3/16 AL .... I found the following combination that works "better" .... Powermax 1000 - 40A - 153V - 45ipm .....
The edge of the material is kinda' "flacky" (see pic...
Wouldn't that prevent the floating head to work properly ???????
Thank you .... I will try
I was wondering if anybody cut 3/16 AL and special if you use the fine cut kit. Hypertherm does not gives values for cutting with this. I wish I could afford to try test cuts :( So tips, amps, feed...
Stop .... Stop ..... :p
I've been dealing with Rick also and I have nothing but PROPS for him. Outstanding service and honest.
Rack and pinion is the way to go - make sure you go for the 20degrees angle. You'll find...
I've been looking for a dxf for a clock. I could not find one - except for the PlasmaCam Cd's for "only" $499 .... I was wondering if someone can spare/trade one. Thank you
The best thing that you can do is to follow instruction about this from the plasma manufacturer .... For example if you use a Hypertherm Powermax 1000 and you cut with 60A heads you use 138V - 60A...
Thank you Dennis .... As far as I know Hydrogen build up occured only when cutting AL
I meant YES you have to have a water table - for multiple reasons.
Smoke first - if you have the water touching the material - I had almost no warpage cutting 16GA ....
I use the Hypertherm Powermax 1000 G3 - SWEEEEEET.
I use the MP-1000 THC.
I use a floating head to determine exactly the thickness of the material or exactly to set the cutting height where it...
To be honest - don't know yet - I still have to add all the bills and figure - soon. Time - - took a while but working only couple hours in the weekend. I can say that if I stay on it I can finish...
Yes - THC with floating head
I decided to write this so other don't get thru what I get right now.
I am talking about SPD/SI (www.sdp-si.com). You will be surprised that you will NOT find out the shipping charges until you...
