This is combination from worn consumables and a contaminated air supply! Install an air dryer/ larger air filter/ bump that pressure up, and if you really want a nicer cut on smaller (less than 0.5") SS use an F5 gas or even pure Nitrogen at about 60% Feed Rate.
Bodor 12KW Laser Tabe (8'X20')
Lincoln Accumove 3
Hypertherm Powermax 1650
7'x20' Table (plasma and torch)
Mobile Welding (Miller Big 40)
Magnetic Particle and Liquid Dye Testing (Level II)
