    Slag Removal?

    Simple question: I am fairly new to this whole plasma cutting thing and curious as to what you guys use for slag removal on cut parts? Do I just need to get a needle scaler?

    A needle scaler with a chisel tip works about the best.
    On all equipment there are 2 levers...
    Lever "A", and Lever F'in "B"

    If your tip is in good shape, air is clean & speed is just right. You shouldn't have a lot of slag to remove. Sometimes a short length of flat bar works pretty good too. Slide the end of it along the plate perpindicular to the slag banging into it.
    If it works.....Don't fix it!
