Can anything be done to make a plasma torch cut square? The one in the shop where I work has both a hand held torch and one mounted on a CNC table. Neither will cut square in anything over about 1/4 inch thick. Even with a new tip and electrode they cut at an angle. Sometimes it actually cuts better after the tip and electrode have been used for a while. It is not always consistent as to what way it will cut at an angel or how much of an angle it will be. I have to cut 3/4 and 1 inch plate with it and getting a good cut is hard. Any suggestions or is this just the way plasma torches are?
