Change the turn of the torch
 Move the torch left or right relative to the torch center line to make the gouge flatter and
steeper on one side .
Change the torch-to-work standoff / arc stretch
 Move the torch away from the workpiece to make the gouge wider, shallower, and smoother
on the bottom . Move the torch closer to the workpiece to make the gouge narrower 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.
 Keep at least a small distance between the torch tip and the molten metal to increase
cartridge life and prevent damage to the torch.
