Step 3: Are the consumables worn?
Inspect consumables for wear.
Replace worn consumables.
Always replace the nozzle and electrode at the same time.
Avoid over-lubricating o-rings.
Use genuine Hypertherm consumables to ensure maximum cutting performance.
Step 4: Is the torch perpendicular to the workpiece?
Level the workpiece.
Make the torch perpendicular to the workpiece, both from the front and side of the torch.
Inspect the material to see if it is bent or warped. In extreme cases this limitation cannot be corrected.
Step 5: Is the cut height set at the proper height?
Adjust the cut height to the correct setting.
If you are using arc voltage control, adjust the voltage.
As consumable parts wear, arc voltage settings need continual adjustment to maintain cut height.
Cut height can impact angularity.
Negative cut angle: torch too low; increase cut height.
Negative cut angle
Square cut
Positive cut angle
