Super cut 50 plasma cutter

[maddog]

I just bought a plasma supercut 50 with the upgrade 60a torch, I seem to be going through the ceramic tips is this normal? I'm new to forum's so I hope I done this right.

No the ceramic cups do not usually give problems and last a while, if they are properly used and stored. Can you give specifics on what is going on?

I'm working in cold weather, and I'm cutting 1/8 in angle.

Should I maintain my desired pressure while air is flowing or should I set it and then cut?

Thanks as usual,

Flowing,

I will post a video(s?) in the next day or so so that people can get the idea. It will be on the PP60, but will give you a good idea of how the unit cuts, and is operated.

Hi All,

We've been trying to build a skidloader bucket.
Many buckets have a replaceable cutting edge.

When we were plasma-ing out the angled portion cutting edge for the bucket we had the piece standing on edge, and we torched it, holding the wand at an angle, rubbing the tip on straight board for a guide. Does anyone have good ideas about how to cut this out? It turned out fairly good, but could have been better.

I've attached a picture. I'm hoping it works.
