26 gauge sheet

Post by dharms »

Hi All,

Say has anyone cut 26 ga. sheet? I have a Thermal Dynamics A120 and Torchmate 2 and was hoping someone might have the settings that would work. I also have AVHC.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

180ipm seems aweful slow to me on 26 ga not sure about td cut settings but i know hypertherm is up around 400ipm down to 25 amps. your going to want 0s pierce delay as well. i just cut 22ga on a powermax 85 and had some tuning trouble using mach/sheetcam until i found a box in settings to use mach delay. that cleared it up for me. my speed was 325@40 amps

Hi Gary,
Just wondering where the box you mentioned is and if it would lower the pierce delay

Thanks, Danny
