2-4. Cutting Speed

The cutting speed curve shows the recommended maximum cutting speed capabilities of the power source and torch for mild steel of various thickness.

Y Exceeding recommended cutting speeds will cause rapid erosion of the tip and electrode.

Cutting speed is approximately 10 inches per minute at 0.7 in mild steel thickness at max set- ting/tip saver mode.
