Open your Powermax operators manual to the mechanized cut charts. Listed there are the correct consumables for machine torch cutting, as well as the cutting specs (pierce height, pierce delay, cut height, arc voltage, amperage, cut speed) for a wide range of material thicknesses. These specs were developed in Hypertherm's process engineering labs and will produce cuts that are as good as possible. On 1/32" thickness the speed and cut height (controlled by arc voltage) are the mos critical parameters. Too slow and you will have dross and warpage, too high and you will have a very wide kerf, top dross and warpage. Follow the specs in the manual for best results. Jim Colt Hypertherm
