In the meantime, I have a question about settings.
I'm running the finecut parts.
Last time I cut, I was cutting 16 ga. mild steel, very clean, no rust.
The Hypertherm manual suggests 79V, 40A and 150ipm.
I was running 40A and 115ipm. But when I set the SP to 110, the tip wanted to crash. At 123sp, it ran fine (though maybe a touch high).
Any thoughts from the collective?
BTW, my air supply runs through a refrigerated dryer and a dessicant dryer before it goes to the hypertherm.
