170mm Flange 12mm Plate cutting issues

General Discussion

Hi Although my flange cuts out of the 12mm plate, there is a slight slant on the piece. Any advise on how to rectify this?

Go slow and check air and consumables

Also a good idea to ground right to your work piece if you are able to.

The pic compares a cut on 5/16" that was grounded only through the table to a 1/2" sample that was grounded directly to the plasma cutter.

Good Luck! :+1:

I had the earth on the workpiece and it was cleaned. It was only when I changed the tip, squared the torch off the plate and this seems to have rectified the problem. Thanks for your suggestion though.
