The new 625 Plasma cutter looked like something I should have. Downloaded the manual ( and read it ) and was ready to tell my local dealer to order it for me; but then a question came up on the message board that made me think it over again.
The problem is I mostly want to cut quarter and three eights plate with an occasional half inch. Then the culverts, 55 gal drums and 1/8 " material for the sea cargo containers a broad range I know but... Nowhere in the manual could I find if you can adjust the current for different thicknesses of material. The front panel layout appears to be adjustable but it doesnt say so, then there is that bloody curve of cutting speed versus metal thickness showing light guage at 400"/min and the other end of the curve with 1/2" at a more resonable 10" /minuite. the note attached to the table says for satisfactory results cutting speed should be close to the curve line. I would think there should be a family of curves with a different curve for different currents if it is adjustable . What am I missing or what is the soluction.
Love my MM210 and SD180 wouldn"t want to order this special xmas deal and then be disappointed.
Thanks
