Its a hypertherm 1250.
My electrodes are holding up good.
My nozzles are not!
Im using a hand torch for now (it came with the machine) but with unshielded nozzles.
I have a water bed and the material is approximately 1/2 an inch above the water. The hypertherm blows air for 10 seconds after it finishes a cut. Water splashes everywhere including onto the torch tips. Do you think water may be contaminating the torch tip even with air blowing on it?
How do you turn off the 10 second air purge thing on the hypertherm? Or is that a bad idea? Should I immediately somehow rush away from the cutting location before water blows everywhere?
