Howdy ya'll,
I am struggling with creating smooth lead-ins, I'm cutting 14 ga mild steel, and using a .125" lead in @ 45 degrees. It doesn't seem to matter how long I make the lead-in, I still get a nice gouge in the side of my part. The only thing I can think of is the regulator on the flexcut was set to 50-60 psi instead of 80 psi. I have yet to make a cut after correcting the pressure issue. Other than that, is there any other variables I can alter or components I should check to fix/improve this issue? Attached below is a detail photo.
Thanks,
Mike
