We got our HK 4kW CO2 laser up and running, but we're burning through 40 liters of nitrogen per hour cutting 3/16" Aluminum. This seems high to me, for cutting at 90 IPM. The cut edge is dross free except for sharp corners.
Is this par for the course for CO2 lasers on aluminum or is our use excessive?
