Newbie. Brand new Torchmate X table with Hypertherm 85. My Christmas present to myself.
First cuts on some 5/16 mild steel were so poor I almost cried. So i cut out a Deer and Horse on some old furnace ducting I had...the kids were excited.
Today I tried again on the 5/16 inch mild steel, results remain very poor. Extreme Dross and difficulty cutting through at anything over 60ipm Here is a youtube of the results:
First cuts hyperthermia 85 - YouTube
Here is the situation. We dont have a circuit in the shop to run full amperage so I have been trying around the 45-55 amp range.
If I follow the manual at the 45 amp settings according to the book the result is still very poor (cuts through but with heavy hard to remove dross)
Is this caused by running the Hyperthem 85 at 45 amps with the 85a consumables?
My air pressure is not regulated...130psi...is too much air causing this?
If I buy 45A consumables can I use those on the Hypertherm 85 while we wait for a new electrical panel to be wired in?
Thanks for any and all help. Happy new year everyone!
Best
