Basic steps to improve cut quality
Step 1: Is the plasma arc cutting in the appropriate direction?
 The squarest cut angles are always on the right side in relation to the forward motion of the torch.
 Verify the direction of the cut.
 Adjust the cutting direction, if necessary. The plasma arc typically spins clockwise with standard consumables.
Contour
 The torch travels clockwise.
 The good side of the cut is to the right side of the torch, as it travels forward.
