Page 14: Plasma Cutting Parameter Guide
PLASMA CUTTING PARAMETER GUIDE The following parameters can be used as a guide to cutting different materials and thicknesses with the VIPER CUT 30MkII. They are intended as a guide only, you may adjust depending on personal preference as well as the condition of the torch/material/air. -
Page 15: Plasma Cutting Technology
PLASMA CUTTING TECHNOLOGY Plasma cutters work by passing an electric arc through a gas that is passing through a constricted opening. The electric arc elevates the temperature of the gas to the point that it enters a 4th state of matter. We all are familiar with the first three: i.e., Solid, liquid, and gas. -
Page 16: Plasma Cutting Tips & Techniques
PLASMA CUTTING TIPS & TECHNIQUES Amperage The standard rule of thumb is the thicker the material, the more amperage required. On thick material, set the machine to full output and vary your travel speed. On thinner material, you need to turn down the amperage and change to a lower-amperage tip to maintain a narrow kerf. - Page 17 PLASMA CUTTING TIPS & TECHNIQUES Electrode condition A fixed gap is established between the electrode and the inside of the cutting tip — electrons arc across the gap, ionizing and superheating the air creating the plasma stream. The electrode contains an insert at the end made of a highly conductive material called hafnium.
