I've tried that. It helps some, but within a couple of cuts it starts building up again. I was wondering if it has something to do with the oil film that is on the cold rolled sheets. I'll take a picture and post for you to see. Thanks

I have a problem with molten metal building-up on the cap while the torch is making cuts in the clockwise direction. Cuts fine when cutting in the counter-clockwise direction. When a large amount builds-up, the torch will either stop cutting or crash into the metal. Anyone else have this problem...

are the settings the same for the LC105 torch?

Any recommendations on settings for fine cut consumables on the flexcut 80? I tried various settings from the chart and can't get a good cut.

Thanks for the info.

I have a 4800 table and have been using the Green Cut plasma fluid. After a week of cutting, the water is no longer green and has turned to a sewer color brown. Anyone else having this problem and what is the best fluid to use in the tables? I have seen other tables online that seem to keep...

Does the height increase affect the cut? I lowered the cut height to .005 on 1/8" metal to eliminate the bevel it was creating. Even at a cut height of .008, I'm still getting the build-up of material.

Thanks, I'll try those settings and see how it works out.

I will try those and see what happens. Thanks for the info.

I tried cutting at .08 on the height, but it created a small bevel on the edges. So, I lowered to .05 and created a straight cut edge. I was wondering if it is created from the mill scale on the surface of the plate?

Does it on 1/8" and 14 gauge metal. On the 1/8" material, I'm running a 40 amp nozzle at .05 cut height and 100 ipm.

I have the 4800 table with the flexcut 80. When making long, straight cuts, molten metal forms on the torch head and eventually causes it to either move off its path or crash into the plate. What is causing the molten metal to form and how do I correct it?
