Some good news to report with the 1650. I had a chance to do some cuts today and I was impressed by the way it "just" worked! I was nervous about settings and PSI and nozzles and amperage, well I made 24 cuts, each one with a different setting and all were more than acceptable. I went CW, CCW, fiddled with air pressure and amperage. I was ready in the back of my mind to default to my oxy/fuel set-up (which was close by, just switch the torches). It had two bad pierces, but the lead in was long enough. I don't have a clue why, but they were both in a row. I unscrewed the assembly and cleaned/brushed the pieces and re-assembled according to the manual, and back to .5 second pierces! Here are a few pics |
