I cut with a Cutmaster 50 at 100 IPM or so, 70 psi, 40 amps, on 1/8" steel. Any faster with this small of a plasma is pointless, lol. It is only 40 amps.
I should say that I don't lose cuts at 100 IPM, for parts with lots of small holes, etc. I will slow it down, but for most shapes and parts, I run in the 80-100 IPM range.
I suggest at that slow of a cut speed you turn your amperage down.
Are you saying you get a massive kerf width, or lots of slag/swarf/crap hanging off the cut edge?
Does your gantry have any "racking" to it, causing it to lose accuracy at high speeds? Or perhaps the cutting slats allow the sheet to move at high speeds?
I have a hard time believeing that a CM101 can't keep up on 1/8", but stranger things have happened...
By the way, those parts are looking 150% awesome! Congrats on getting it up and running!
