Hello everybody!
A specific problem occurs whenever I try to plasma cut with 80 A Hypertherm electrode. The problem is that while cutting interior contours (holes for ex.) the movement is stopped for a brief second and then continues. This causes quality issues on the cutting surface because the arc continues to burn while the torch is stationary.
The machine (Messer MetalMaster) works perfectly with other electrodes, so its very weird that it does this with the 80A electrode.
The software I use is called OmniWin 2011. The function I use to create the plans for the machine is OmniNest. In the simulations it doesn't throw up any problems, so I am clueless. Has anyone had a similar problem? The software is old, and only works on Windows XP, so the fact that its full of bugs is not excluded.

Re: Plasma cutting process stops for no reason, then continues
That is very strange since your choice of consumables really has nothing to do with the motion of the machine. What Hypertherm plasma are you using?
