I was cutting this morning and had about 300 pierces on them then boom it got real loud but kept cutting. This is what i found swapped them out and right back to cutting. What would cause this i have never seen this before.

Moisture did that to me and I'm running a refrigerated dryer. I had to go to a final desiccant filter followed by a carbon "Motor Guard" filter.

I run a mac air dryer with a water trap/filter then motorguard filter at the table. I always run true hypertherm consumable no china junk.

Moisture or oil in the air line causes more rapid wear of the electrode....clearly evidenced in your pic. Compared to other brands though.....you still got good life!
