Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Cnc Project-- combination router- plasma cutter

Chris,
I don't know if you have tried plasma cutting yet, but I think you will need faster feed rates than that if you are cutting 1/8"
or less. I had poor results cutting .060 steel until I got up to around 150 IPM. Too much heat input at slower speeds.
You may be OK depending on your torch.
