I NEED HELP WITH GENERAL PLASMACAM SETTINGS, ROUGH CUTS, SPRAW AND LARGE PIERCE HOLE

[unionoutfitt]

Hello
I have a plasmacam problem. I have had unit in shop for years and used to cut some rough parts. Now I want to do some more precise detail work and cannot get the unit dialed in. I am at my whits end and have spent a couple hours trying to get it to get it cut a clean part. No luck.
I am cutting a new piece of 1/8" steel .131 10ga. It always pierces and makes a large hole then the cut is always jagged with lots of spraw. I am sure someone has someone has the settings and can help me out. I'm sure several of my settings are off, from psi to speeds.
Thanks for reading my post.

Hey Union Outfitt!!

I hope that you are having an awesome Labor Day! Check out the settings listed below (this is exactly what I use) and you'll be cutting 10 ga perfectly in no time!

Also, you definitely want these 45-Amp fine cut consumables (optimal for clean cuts w/ narrow kerf):



If you have if you have the advanced HC get the "Ohmic -Mechanized'.
