    Why does my Thermal Dynamics 81 CUTMASTER Welding System have excessive dross formation?
    • E
      Edward DelgadoJul 31, 2025
      Excessive dross formation in your Thermal Dynamics Welding System can be caused by several factors: the cutting speed might be too slow, the torch standoff may be too high from the workpiece, the torch parts could be worn, the cutting current might be improper, or non-genuine Thermal Dynamics parts may be in use.
