TYPE 2: Requires A. Small diameter
B. Large diameter
C. Offset distance between centerlines
TYPE 3: Requires A. Small diameter
B. Large diameter
C. Offset distance
D. Angle between pipes

TYPE 5: Requires A. Small diameter (branch pipe)
B. Large diameter (pipe being cut)
C. Angle
For plasma cutting, a value for the time delay is also required to allow for the delay in initiating
the arc and piercing the material. Longer delays are required for thicker materials.
When entering diameters, use the diameter of the surface along whose intersection the cut
has to be made. Usually they will be the inside diameter of the pipe being cut, and the outside
diameter of the pipe it fits on. This will also allow for any bevel, if necessary.
In TYPE 4 miter cut, cutback refers to the distance on the centerline when making two cuts
opposed to each other, for the middle piece of an elbow. If only one cut is to be made, enter 0 or
just press RETURN for cutback.
NOTE: If the STOP / PAUSE button is pushed, the machine will be in pause mode, and cannot
be programmed. Push the reset button to get back to the ready mode for programming.
