These specs will get you real close. If you get too much dross, increase the speed until it goes away. Cut height is critical.


The Fine cut setting are :

10 ga.
40 amps, cut height .08", pierce height .012", pierce delay .5 sec, cut speed, 50 ipm


12 ga.
40 amps, cut height .08", pierce height .12", pierce delay .25 seconds, cut speed , 70 ipm.


14 ga.
40 amps, cut height .08", pierce height .12", pierce delay .2 seconds, cut speed 135 ipm.


STANDARD - GENERAL CUTTING:
10 ga.
.5 second pierce delay, .062" cut height, .12" pierce height, 98 inches per minute, 40 Amps

12 ga.
.3 second pierce delay, ,062" cut height, .12" pierce height, 125 inches per minute,
40 amps

14 ga.
.25 second pierce delay, .062" cut height, .12" pierce height, 160 inches per minute, 35 amps


For kerf offset....it is best to get the quality dialed in to where you want it...then do a straight line cut using those specs and measure the kerf. This is because anything that you change, speed, height, amperage, air pressure....will change the kerf width. Once you measure the kerf, divide it by 2, and enter that amount for your kerf width in the setup files
