Jim, I am cutting 11G mild steel with a 1250, W/THC.
The torch has about an 8 second post cut air flow. I have programed into the stop macro (M15) a
dwell time to allow the torch to finish the post cut cooling flow before the next cut starts. Is this
necessary? I played with it manually and found it would fire for the next cut before the post flow
was finished. My old machine would not, I had just assumed the 1250 wouldn’t either. If I
eliminate the post stop dwell and start the next cut before the cooling flow stops will it shorten
consumable life or cause any other problems? I have many small cuts per sheet and I could save
some time.
Thanks
Morgan
