The consumables on this page are designed for thick metal piercing. They are only recommended for use if you have
a problem with excessive slag on the shield, or problems with the torch misfiring, when using the standard bevel
consumables.
Using the thick metal piercing process may result in a 20% decrease in the life of the consumables.

Suggestions for piercing 38 mm (1-1/2 in) mild steel:
1. Turn preflow on during IHS
2. Use stall force during IHS
3. Use pierce complete when piercing
