cut Quality

introduction
Causes affecting cut quality are interdependent. Changing one variable affects all others. Determining a solu-
tion may be difficult. The following guide offers possible solutions to different undesirable cutting results. To
begin select the most prominent condition:
Cut Angle, negative or positive
Cut Flatness
Surface finish
Dross
Dimensional Accuracy
Usually the recommended cutting parameters will give optimal cut quality, occasionally conditions may vary
enough that slight adjustments will be required. If so:
Make small incremental adjustments when making corrections.
Adjust Arc Voltage in 5 volt increments, up or down as required.
Adjust cutting speed 5% or less as required until conditions improve.
