    Tip voltage setting recomendations?

    What would be a good starting point for say a Cutmaster 52 with a 30amp tip cutting 20 gauge mild steel.

    Anyone know of a chart ?

    Want to have it set close for ATHC to work well.
    How about IPM recommendation?

    Anyone know a good rule of thumb for settings?
    I ruined a 60 amp tip on one cutout and I'm sure I didn't have the right tip voltage setting for my tip OR material because the torch didn't seem to keep proper distance from metal. Any help?

    I use a 20 Amp drag tip with a 20 Amp setting. Drag the tip right on the metal for thin gauge stock. Works for me.
