Re: Need help with a Hypertherm...

Such tables are normally available from the manufacturer. They are
normally included with the power supply or torch. The manufacturers
compile these tables by doing actual cuts so they are an invaluable
aid. That being said they are only meant to serve as a guide, you
may find that your optimal settings will vary a bit from the table.
