Cutting Guide
Below are excerpts from the manual on cutting technique. For the most part the current should be set to 60 amps (the maximum), the operator controls how fast the torch travels across the material. There is a chart below that is intended for a "mechanized" torch, or settings that you would use if it was attached to a CNC machine. Use these charts for reference to get an idea of speed, or simply use trial and error to see what works best for your material.
