quality of plasma cuts and amp settings | | I am looking at the hypertherm powermax 1000 which puts out 60 amps max.
or the powermax 1250 which puts out 80 amps max. Also equivalent sized Thermal dynamic machines.
I want to spend as little as possible and only plan on cutting up to 3/8 inch steel.
The main question I have is can I get a decent quality cut edge in 3/8 steel using a machine torch on a cnc table with only 60 amps? Or do I need to go to 80 amps for best edge quality. Thanks Larry. |
