AJ, I have to be honest, I copied/pasted/printed Jim's post #6 and started at 80amps, and worked until I had "dross free" cuts as Jim recommended. I am not sure of the speed, as I am using an old pantograph with a vari-stat to control the speed, it turns from 0-100. The oxy could not cut above 50 (it would lose the cut in the corners) and the plasma sailed dross free at 65, but would cut at 75 with a little dross. I would estimate the speed to be about 25ipm, I have another 80 or so cuts to do on Wed. and I will time them and measure the cut to be accurate.
The table is an old acorn/platen lay-out table that is about 3" thick. It will be transformed back to a lay-out table when our Dynatorch is finished. It is kind of like a pair of shoes that don't fit, it will last forever!
