Just picked up a used 1250 and have no experience using a plasma.
I have been cutting with gas on my small Koike CNC torch and would like to use the plasma for thinner materials and maybe some aluminum.
I will have to get a machine torch but need to use it and get good before I invest in a new torch. I am sure I could cobble up a holder to use the hand torch to get started with the CNC but I need some practice just with hand cutting.
So some tips and info setting up would be great, things like amps in relation to thickness and any tips/tricks that might help a newbie. I do know a little bit about plasma and I have excellent quality clean dry air.
