Cutting 11 gauge Diamond Plate Steel

[philliphowe]

What is everyone's recommended setting for cutting diamond plate steel? (11 gauge)

I just tried:
80 AMP
120v
15 in/min
Pierce ~3/16

It did fine after a few test spots to get those settings above. But the part where the raised steel is cuts kind of angled. And there is quite a bit of splash on the face.

What is the best method for cutting this material?

I am using Torchmate 3

Thanks

When I cut diamond plate on my TM2 I use the Hypertherm cut charts and cut it with the diamonds facing down, just remember to flip your drawing over in cad first! Ask me how I know. lol
