26 gauge sheet

[dharms]

Hi All,

Say has anyone cut 26 ga. sheet? I have a Thermal Dynamics A120 and Torchmate 2 and was hoping someone might have the settings that would work. I also have AVHC.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Use 40A, 180 ipm, 0.14 cut height

180ipm seems aweful slow to me on 26 ga not sure about td cut settings but i know hypertherm is up around 400ipm down to 25 amps. your going to want 0s pierce delay as well. i just cut 22ga on a powermax 85 and had some tuning trouble using mach/sheetcam until i found a box in settings to use mach delay. that cleared it up for me. my speed was 325@40 amps

Hi Gary,
Just wondering where the box you mentioned is and if it would lower the pierce delay

Thanks, Danny
