Your nozzle should NEVER touch the plate, with the exception of your Z pick-up. You should have roughly .06" air gap while cutting and double that for piercing. Your consumables must take a beating!
Yeah, I gotta agree against welding your material to the grates. If someone thinks this is necessary, they might want to look elsewhere as to WHY the material is moving in the first place, such as crappy support grates or mis-adjusted operational parameters for the cutting torch head. As a retired, long time fab shop worker and later on as an owner/operator, I've had extensive experience with plasma cutting tables since back in the middle 1980's and I have never had a reason to tack material down and I've never known any fab shop operator to do likewise.
I have the plasma cam set up and the design done. The machine has cut test cuts. I have a design done. When I turn it on and hit cut the machine tracks on the cut paths but the plasma cutter will not fire up. Where do I find the solution?
Never heard of welding to the table... i worked in plenty of massive fabrication shops building and welding structural, normally. Also, you need an airgap between the plasma tip. Lastly, you can normally just use a chipping hammer to take the slag away after a plasma cut. Generally speaking, the harder it is to move, the more Fd up your speed, distance and general settings are...

Don't weld your material to the slats!!

PLEASE take this video down. There is so much BAD INFORMATION in it, I don't know where to begin!
I wonder how close the torch from the metal sheet ! But if the sheet is not flat , does the torch go up and down ? Answer please Nice episode thanks

Why the hell would you weld you part to the bed!
Shouldn't weld to the grates. They warp enough just cutting designs.
Hi thanks so much
Is very important
To share with urs
Special if we don’t speak good English

I might be dumber now
Man I'm telling ya....
Cotton shirt !! Ha
Ummm... NO!!!!!
Weld material to the table?!
NO
WOW! Wrong!
