Hello,

I recently purchased a CNC table from Bulltear, and equipped it with a Powermax 85 plasma cutter from Hypertherm. I can' seem to get the thing dialed in to save my life. Using bottled Nitrogen, and even on thinner metals (18-10 gauge) I get a significant amount of dross at the recommended speeds & voltages. When I try to cut anything thicker, like 1/4" - 1/2" mild steel, I have to slow it down to <30IPM or it won't even cut halfway through the material. The dross is so bad that you can't even break it off with a hammer. Maybe my expectations were too high out of the gate because I had read so many encouraging things about the incredible cut quality people are getting with these units, but so far I'm thoroughly disappointed. I've followed the manual to a T, and still my results are far less than stellar. What am I doing wrong? HELP - PLEASE!!!

Thanks,

Rusty
