MoreFollowing are the steps for plasma cutter settings: Choose an open place to perform the process. Plug in the unit and connect it to the external air compressor for plasma cutter. Place metal or substance to be performed on. Turn on the air and machine. Set up current and direct flow to metal. Trigger activated cutter and placed cutter near metal.
MoreA plasma cutter works by super-heating gas until it becomes plasma, in which the atoms are ionized. An electric charge passing through the gas to the metal to be cut forms an arc of energy that is so hot it melts the metal. Since the arc is tightly focused by a thin-tipped nozzle, the plasma cuts through the metal.
More2015-11-15 Tractor. John Deere, 4200. Using a plasma cutter at to high of amps for the thickness of material being cut, is like using an oxygen acetylene, or oxygen propane torch with to big of a tip. It's a matter of how fast can you move! Or you'll weld the cut back together, if you don't move fast enough!
MoreWhen the thickness is adjusted to 40mm, the cutting speed is limited to 500mm/min to ensure the cutting effect and quality. If you switch to other auxiliary cutting gases, such as cutting with pure oxygen, the cutting speed will decrease even more. Under the same cutting current of 230A, although pure oxygen plasma cutting can be increased to ...

More2021-3-30 Place your cutting tip over the electrode. Screw your shield cap body (retaining cap) in; this should go over the other parts and hold everything in place inside the torch. (If you have one) screw your shield cap onto the end of the shield cap body. The higher-end torches will also need a cooling tube.
More2009-7-1 Learn more about choosing the right equipment as well as plasma cutter setup and operation. Plasma cutting basics. Plasma provides good quality cutting, gouging and piercing at very high speeds — making this process a good fit for many industries and applications. Plasma arc cutting is a process where an open arc can be constricted by passing ...
More2022-5-23 Once the plasma gas (compressed air) builds up enough pressure, the electrode and nozzle are forced apart, which causes an electrical spark that converts the air into a plasma jet. The DC current flow then switches from electrode to nozzle, to a path between the electrode and work piece. This current and airflow continues until the trigger is ...
MoreI have found that 20 amps is truly the lowest practical limit for a plasma cutter. That amperage is good up to 1/8” of an inch. After 1/8” you can typically add 10 amps for every additional 1/8” of cut. While this isn’t perfect for all conditions, it works well as a general guide. For 3/8” cut, 40 amps works out well for most brands ...
MoreToo slow speed may create excessive dross on the backside. In this case, increase your cutting rate. 6. To cut a straight line using a drag spacer and straight edge guide. a) Clamp the straight edge to the workpiece. b) Keep torch at approximate 90-degree to work surface. 7. Use personal plasma cutting table.
More2020-7-3 Each tool can be a different material and thickness. You can get the values for these from your plasma cutter manufacturer. I often put Hypertherm Powermax65 or Hypertherm Powermax 85 on my Titan Series plasma tables. Hypertherm is the best when it comes to cut charts and data. They make setting up your tools and cut information very easy.
More2015-6-4 This is set value number one for our line speed test. The Amperage is a matter of installing the correct tip into the torch head, and setting the amperage value on the face of the plasma cutter to match this tip, +/- 5%. With the second part of this equation is then set. At these values we run our line speed test.
MoreAny kind of metal that is electrically conductive is well suited for using the plasma cutter. You can cut these kinds of metal from a sheet metal thickness of 1-2mm up to 1-2 inches. Anything thicker is going to be tricky. Even for the automated plasma cutters, the thicker a metal tends to be, the more hazard from all the sparks that are produced.
More2022-4-26 check the setting on your helmet(see chart for settings). Turn on the plasma cutter power switch. Measure thickness of material being cut and refer to chart for current setting on the machine. Set the current on the plasma cutter. Place the drag shield on the edge of the base metal, or hold ⅛ inch off the surface. Direct the arc straight down.
More2021-2-24 The next step is to plug in your plasma cutter and air hose. Once your machine has power, adjust it according to your needs. For the amperage, adjust according to the type of material you are about to cut. The rule is, the thicker the material the higher the amps. The second part you need to check is the torch.

More2016-2-19 Plasma settings was created by Rick G. In order to get a quality cut using a plasma torch there are several settings that effect the cut. Settings such as kerf, pierce height, pierce delay, cut height, feed rate, amps, pressure, etc. When traveling from one cut to another a Z safe position. If using torch height control the proper voltage needs ...
More2021-9-26 3. Remove the trigger lock and press the plasma cutter trigger. Maintain a 90-degree angle to the metal from the drag shield or torch body and raise the trigger lock. Now, press and hold the trigger—an arc of plasma should spray downward from the tip of the plasma torch. Make sure sparks spray from the bottom of the metal after pressing the ...

More2022-5-23 The answer to this question is yes if you have a helmet that is rated for a shade level of a minimum of 5. A shade level of 5 is a comfortable setting for using a plasma cutter on 40 amps or less. Miller Welds has an article explaining that a shade as low as 3 can be used in certain situations, but we recommend you use the highest shade you can ...
