Guidelines for hand torch gouging
The width and the depth of the gouge contour are a result of the following factors. Adjust these
factors in combination to get the gouge that you want.
Change the output current (A) of the plasma power supply
 Decrease the amperage on the front panel to make the gouge narrower and shallower .
Increase the amperage to make the gouge wider and deeper .
 Arc stretch is related to the output current (A) of the plasma power supply. The higher
the amperage, the longer that you can stretch the arc. Hypertherm recommends that you
keep amperage and arc stretch consistent.
Change the angle of the torch to the workpiece
 Put the torch in a more upright position to make the gouge narrower and deeper . Tilt the
torch down so that it is closer to the workpiece to make the gouge wider and more
shallow .
