    Hi Guys, I figured it out. When using feed rate in the gcode you have to have the fall down set to 1 to utilize the full speed of the gcode feed rate. This is why mine wasn't reading the correct feed...

    Re: 50hp Vs 40hp Intensifier pump

    Application for what you can cut? No, one just will cut slower because it can't flow the same rate of water. Thus you will need to use a smaller orifice/nozzle size.

    Re: 50hp Vs 40hp Intensifier pump

    Having a 50 hp pump typically will allow you to run a 15/45 nozzle orifice combination. But most people with 50hp pumps run a 14/40 since it's less wear on the pump. A 40hp pump will not be able to...
