Cutting Galvanized Sheet

Post by Econdron »

Is it the same settings as if cutting standard raw steel? I have a job coming up cutting 12ga galvanized steel. I'm not sure if the sheet is hot dipped or electroplated. I know it makes a difference when welding which method is used, but does it make a difference when plasma cutting?

Be sure to have plenty of ventilation, galvanized can be brutal to your health.
