Newbie- just got new 5 x 10 table

[pocket change]

thanks to everyone that replied. adjusted machine to 40 amps got consumable kit from welding supply. part cut close enough to perfect for me. I am have trouble with we-cim now. Talked with gary and got it staightened out. I have been way busy with other things (oilfield,racecars,toterhome,etc.). If I could just stop and work strictly on machine one week all my problems will be solved. Now I have forgotten most I learned at DT shop on we-cim training. Probally have to get gary @ my shop to go over everything one on one basis. Everything works perfect once I figure out what I do wrong. I cut strips into misc. thickness (steel) plate I am having trouble measuring width of kerf because calipers will not fit into cut properly. Any help on this matter??????? anyone around dallas area on here? thanks again

Hi Tony

I use Sheetcam and thats where i set my kerf width for what ever size nozzle i am using, you can set up all your different nozzle sizes and sheet thickness and save them on file.... as for cutting 1/2" with your 1250 will not be a problem, check your Hypertherm manual as it has all the info and settings for your torch, if you dont have a manual then it is on there web site at www.hypertherm.com
