Performing Your First Test Cut (BEVEL)
The LINE SPEED TEST.gm and 5100 Test Cut.gm is provided to determine the proper feed rate in IPMs to cut the
material thickness to the amperage you have set on the plasma power supply. These have been included in your pre
loaded first cut on the Torchmate 5100 models. The plasma torch body is pre-loaded with 150 amp consumables for a
3/16" material cut from the factory. We highly suggest your first cut is our pre-loaded, *5100 SPII 275 + 400 BEVEL TEST
CUT 150A.GM" to ensure your machine has transported in the same condition it has left the factory. Please locate the
factory test sample located in the waterbed and load a piece of 3/16" mild steel for the comparison cut test.
