Cutting metal Mesh
Did a search but did not find an answer. Was wondering if you can CNC Cut metal Mesh with the small holes in it or little squares. My thinking is probably no but wanted to see if anyone here has tried and hiw was the result?

Haven't done it personally, but I know there is a setting on the PowerMax for it.

Re: Cutting metal Mesh
I've cut .25 perf plate. It was 16 gauge stainless. Set your PM 85 for interrupted cutting and follow book specs. I used a small piece of scrap if the pierce was directly over a hole.

Re: Cutting metal Mesh
I cut expanded metal on mine quite a bit. Just switch your plasma cutter to the interrupted cut setting and turn off dthc.
