Start Cutting

Edge cutting

---|---|---
Keep the torch vertical at the edge of the workpiece. Keep your wrist steady and ready to start cutting| Pull the trigger to start the arc, The cutting arc will initiate when the torch tip is close enough to the work Piece. Start cutting on the edge until the Arc has cut completely through.| fast speed will lead to incomplete cutting, and arc blowback is easy to damage the device. Too slow speed will lead to excessive scum and cutting the gap.

Piercing Cutting

---|---|---
Hold the torch at an angle to the workpiece, pull the trigger to start the arc, and slowly rotate it to an upright position.| Pull the trigger to start the arc, The cutting arc will initiate when the torch tip is close enough to the work Piece. Start cutting on the edge until the Arc has cut completely through.| When the piece is complete, Control the cutting speed and adjust the angle and position of the cutting torch to continue the cutting operation. Too fast speed will lead to incomplete cutting, and arc blowback is easy to damage the device. Too slow speed will lead to excessive scum and cutting the gap.

Cutting performance

1| Amperage| The standard rule of thumb is the thicker the material the more amperage required. On thick material, set the machine to full output and vary your travel speed. On thinner material, you need to turn down the amperage and change to a lower-amperage tip to maintain a narrow kerf. The kerf is the width of the

cut material that is removed during cutting.

---|---|---
2| Speed| Amperage and speed are critical to producing a good quality cut. visually follow the arc that is coming from the bottom of the cut. The arc should exit the material at a slight angle away from the direction of travel. If it’s going straight down, that means the speed is too slow, and IT will have an unnecessary buildup of dross or slag. If the speed is too fast, it will start spraying back onto the surface of the material without cutting the workpiece completely. Because the arc trails at an angle, at the end of a

cut, slow your cutting speed, and angle the torch in to cut through the last bit of metal.

3| Direction| It is easier to pull the torch towards you than push it. The plasma stream swirls as it exits the tip, biting one side and finishing off on the other leaving a beveled edge and a straight edge. The bevel-cut effect is more noticeable on thicker material and needs to be taken into consideration before starting your cut as you want the straight side of the cut to be on the finished piece you keep.
4| Torch tip height &

position

| The distance and position of the plasma torch cutting tip have an effect on the quality of the cut and the extent of the bevel of the cut. The easiest way to reduce bevel is by cutting at the proper speed and height for the material and amperage that is being cut.
5| Tip size and condition| The tip orifices focus the plasma stream to the workpiece. It is important to use the correct size tip for the amperage being used, for example, a tip with a 3/64″ orifice is good for 0-40 amps whereas a 1/16″ orifice is better for 40-80 amps. The low-amp tip has a smaller orifice which maintains a narrow plasma stream at lower settings for use on thin-gauge material. Using a 25 amp tip at a 60 amp setting will blow out and distort the tip orifice and require replacement. Conversely, using an 80-amp tip on the lower settings will not allow you to focus the plasma stream as well and creates a wide kerf. The condition of the tip orifice is critical to the quality of the cut result, a worn or damaged tip orifice will produce a distorted plasma stream resulting in poor cut quality.
6| Electrode condition| A fixed gap is established between the electrode and the inside of the cutting tip. Electrons arc across the gap, ionizing and superheating the air and creating the plasma stream. The electrode contains an insert in the end made of a highly conductive material called hafnium. This insert erodes with use and develops a pit in the end of the electrode, when the pit becomes too much poor quality cuts will result and necessitate the replacement of the electrode.
 |  |
---|---|---
7| Air quality, Air pressure and volume| Compressors take in air at atmospheric pressure increase the pressure and store it in a tank.
 |  | Moisture that forms in airlines has a tendency to condense into larger drops when the air pressure
 |  | decreases as it enters the plasma torch. When these droplets enter into the high temperatures in
 |  | the plenum of the torch, they immediately break down into oxygen and hydrogen, which alters the
 |  | normal chemical content of air in the torch. These elements will then dramatically change the plasma
 |  | arc which causes the torch consumable parts to wear very quickly, alters the shape of the nozzle
 |  | orifice, dramatically affecting cut quality in terms of edge squareness, dross formation, and edge
 |  | smoothness.Air pressure, flow rate and air quality are critical to quality plasma cutting and consumable
 |  | life span.Usually air pressure is preset at 60 psi . The volume capacity of your compressor is important,
 |  | If you are doing a lot of cutting, cutting thick plate (same air consumption but slower cut speeds =
 |  | longer cut time) then choose a compressor at 1.5 to 2 times the plasma system requirement.

When cutting, select the appropriate current and pushing speed according to the material and thickness of the workpiece to ensure that the spark is exiting from the bottom of the workpiece| If the spark comes out from the top of the workpiece, it means that the workpiece has not been completely cut, because the torch moves too fast or the current is set too low.| If the spark passes vertically through the workpiece, it indicates that the workpiece has been completely cut off and the torch is cutting air because the torch moves too slowly or the current setting is too large
