Cutting more than one sheet metal at a time

[Proballz03]

Just kind of wondering can you cut two or more sheets of steel at one time? Haven't try yet just wondering! NEWBIE here!

Yes, as long as there is no air gap between the sheets it works fine. I have seen ten layers of .125" aluminum cut simultaneously with good quality. They were 12' diameter and the company used a steel weight that kept the aluminum sheets tightly stacked.

Myself.. not had alot of luck with doing it. welded areas together on the fine art pieces..
where there are arcs or say areas your plasma slows down for. That will be the problem area
