So I finally have my table running, and it is doing everything it is supposed to do.. What I am trying to figure out now is some basic guidelines for tips, amps etc..
I realize there are some wide margins but there must be a starting point?
Right now there is a 20amp tip in my hypertherm 1250 (it was already in there from the previous owner, and appears brand new). I did a line speed test on 20g, and I am getting good cuts at 135 ipm which kind of seems fast.
I have alot of 40 amp tips (came with the machine). Should I switch the tips?
Could someone give me a guidline for cutting fairly uncomplicated things out of 16,18, and 20g mild steel? I just want to know if i am in the right ballpark or not.
Thanks so much
April
