Maximum travel speeds are the fastest speeds possible for cutting the material without regard to cut quality. Optimum travel
speeds provide the best cut angle, least dross and best cut surface finish.
Remember that cut charts are intended to
provide a good starting point for each different cut assignment. Every cutting system requires “fine tuning” for each
cutting application in order to obtain the desired cut quality.
