Thermal Dynamics Pak Master 50 - Recommended Cutting Speeds

OPERATION 40 Manual 0-2470
4.09 RECOMMENDED CUTTING SPEEDS
Cutting speed depends on material, thickness, and the operator’s
ability to accurately follow the desired cut line. The following
factors may have an impact on system performance:
• Torch parts wear
• Air quality
• Line voltage fluctuations
• Torch standoff height
• Proper work cable connection
This information represents realistic expectations using recom-
mended practices and well-maintained systems. Actual speeds
may vary up to 50% from those shown.
