CUT QUALITY
A clean cut depends on several factors:
• Amperage
• Travel speed
• Tip height & position
• Tip and electrode quality
• Air pressure and quality
• Technique
The best quality cut will be produced when all these variables are set correctly for the
material thickness and type of material being cut.
Poor Quality Cut
Good Quality Cut
1.
Wear your safety gear. Generally you want the same
type of protective gear as when welding. Plasma
has high arc voltage if the job or bench is wet and
you place your hand or arm on it you can become
part of the circuit and receive a shock, be sure you
are wearing leather gloves, Full length pants and
covered shoes, Wear eye protection a #5 shade
is the minimum eye protection with other shades
required depending on amperage. A face shield is
also recommended,
2.
Connect the Earth Clamp securely to the work
piece or the work bench
3.
Place and hold the torch vertical at the edge of
the plate. Note cutting tip must be in contact with
work piece for ignition.
4.
Pull the trigger to energise the arc. When the
cutting arc has cut through the edge of the plate
start moving evenly in the direction you wish to cut.
5.
5) Correct amperage and travel speed are
important and relevant to material thickness and
are correct when sparks are exiting from the work
piece. If sparks are spraying up from the work
piece there is insufficient amps selected or the
travel speed is too fast.
6.
To finish the cutting release the torch switch. The
air flow will continue for 30 seconds to cool the
torch head. Do not disconnect air until this cooling
period has been completed. Failure to do this will
result in torch head damage.
