Follow the specifications in the cut charts:
 Select the appropriate process for:
 Material type
 Material thickness
 Desired cut quality
 Productivity goals
 Select the correct plasma and shield gas.
 Select correct parameters for:
 Gas pressures (or flow rates)
 Cut height and arc voltage
 Cutting speed
 Confirm that the correct consumables are being used and verify the part numbers.
 Generally, lower amperage processes offer better angularity and surface finish. However, cutting speeds are slower
and dross levels are higher.
