unshielded 45 an 65 volt setting

Post by tnttracy »

hypertherm pm65

i destroyed the shield and need to finish jobs by the end of the day. just run the shielded specs, it runs pretty high.

anybody have specs or general guidline for running unshielded? yes i'm destroying consumables quicker, but i dont care. the only thing i dont have on hand is the shield i've got plenty of the rest.

thanks!

welp, all the cutting was in the 130 volt range and i just went 3-5 volts under sheilded book specs. ran a little high but that help to protect the nossle a bit.

The unshielded cut charts are in your operators manual near the back of the cut chart section....suggested voltages are listed.
