Hi Adrian,

It really depends on your machine. FastCAM can only impact the types of lead ins and sometimes the feedrate. The cut quality is also impacted by:

-Shield Gas


-Gas Pressure

-Amperage

-Feedrate

The last one we MAY control in your Post but it is dependent.

Generally, if you are having trouble, slow the cut down and see how you do. Cut a known shape, like a 100x 100 mm square with a hole in it as a test and then work from there. Changing settings until you get a cut quality you are happy with. It can be a bit of trial and error.


Ontop of this, you can often find suggested settings in your Torch's handbook, which should give you a guide on what settings to use

Hope that helps!

Hi Adrian,

Yep, it can be a process of trial and error when trying to find the right settings. I would again suggest using the Torch handbook's settings as a base and working from there.


Hope that helps

Cheers,

Alex
