Energy, what type of part design are you trying to cut w/ the finecuts?
Below is the charting one should follow for the fineCut consumable set.
The biggest problem you will run into w the fineCut consumables on this unrated thickness will be the pierce damage to the nozzle. If you were edge starting you could most likely acquire a very nice cut with a chance of much less consumable life at about 50 amps.
