    Cutting Tungsten Carbide with plasma

    Hi Guys,

    One question, is it possible to cut tungsten carbide with a CNC Plasma? I have a 50 Amp Everlast and I just bought a plasma table from Eagle plasma but haven't installed it yet. I need to drill 4.5mm holes into 3/16" STB Carbide Bars. Is it possible?

    You can't even do that (cut small holes) on mild steel, especially with that setup.
