  • Page 7 TORCH OPERATION Torch Parts Selection The application will determine which torch parts must be used. Refer to the cut charts for the proper torch parts to install for a selected application. NOTE! Do not interchange parts. Make sure all torch parts correspond with the plasma and shield gases in use for the application.
  • Page 8 Materials used to create cut charts NOTE! For all cut charts, the following materials were used: • A36 for Mild Steel • 6061 for Aluminum • 304 for Stainless Steel With other variations of materials, the cut parameters can change slightly. DANGER Hydrogen Detonation is Possible When Cutting Aluminum in or Under Water DO NOT cut aluminum alloys that contain lithium, in underwater applications or where water is involved (like with a water...
  • Page 9 Direction of Cut The plasma gas stream swirls as it leaves the torch to maintain a stable arc column. This swirl effect results in one side of a cut being more square than the other. Viewed along the direction of travel, the right side of the cut is more square than the left. Clockwise Left Side Cut Angle...
  • Page 10 Bevel Cutting Definitions Bevel Angle The angle between the center line of the torch and a line that is perpendicular to the workpiece. If the torch is perpendicular to the workpiece, the Bevel Angle is zero. The maximum Bevel Angle is 45°.
