Piercing 1" Steel ! - Hypertherm 85 - Langmuir Systems Crossfire CNC [ReUpload]

(this is a re upload of the low quality video I uploaded yesterday) I finally got to a project where I needed 1 inch mild steel. I have been wanting to try piercing 1 inch plate with the Hypertherm 85 on this table. On the 1" hole, I had my pierce delay set at 3.5 seconds, and you can tell it nearly used all of it. I also set a generous lead in distance so that I could edge-start the second part of the cut. I used a 0.12" torch standoff height on this cut instead of the standard 0.06". Surprisingly, no damage was done to the consumables. I ran this at a 6 IPM feed rate, and the results were beautiful!

That’s mint. I just ordered my 45 xp hypertherm and the crossfire pro. Man those hypertherms are sooooo nice. I looked at every brand. I have an Eastwood versa 60. Now but can’t wait to get a real plasma. Hypertherm is the best
