The above values are summarized from our practical experience. The quality cut refers to the machinery cutting, not handheld cutting.

After this point clear, next thing to check is the working size. The working size of the cnc plasma cutting table shall be determined according to the metal sheet or tube metal size of the user. Machine working size should be big enough to cut your materials.

The third ting is the torch height controller (THC). With torch height controller, the plasma cnc table can cut metal sheet which is uneven, the plasma cutter torch head will automatically rise and fall as the sheet metal surface goes up and down; without T.H.C controller, the machine can only cut flat sheet. So, please take or not take as per your material status.
