    For the holes I run it slower at 30ipm whereas I do 40ipm on the outside.

    45 amps at 60psi using 1.1mm tips on a PTM-60 torch.

    What's funny is I cut those on the same tip and electrode I cut 7 sets of bed stiffeners out of -

    20230602_125629.jpg

    5x in 10 gauge and 2x in 3/16".

    Dang I haven't tried turning the psi down that low yet, been blowing everything at 90...
    TY. Good specs for useful thicknesses are hard to come by on fire share, or I don't search well lol.

    Well some people are stingy about stuff like that. I'm just a small fish, I ain't trying to compete against big timers running big ass tables.

    I run 55psi for 10 gauge and even less for thinner stuff.

    That's why you didn't even hear my air compressor kick on during that entire cut (even with post flow).

    @Kwikvette magic laser table made the cuts.

    Hopefully the stuff will be here today, or tomorrow, so I can get this stuff glued together this weekend.
