Setting my table up...

[Davek0974]

Made some test cuts today,


I cut repeated test lines at various speeds and settled on the one that gave me seemingly acceptable results, this turned out to be 20A at 1275mm/min. I am trying to keep speed down as my machine is happier at lower speeds (this will be looked at later) hence the lowest power possible, 1.5mm steel again, pierce height 4mm, cut height lowered to 1.5mm.


This setting gave me a 1mm kerf width, picture of my final test for the day below..



One point I noticed was that I had plenty of dross on the good (job) side and almost none on the scrap (cutoff) side, does this indicate my cut direction is wrong???


System is behaving itself though which is good.
