Hi All
I have a large 240v plasma cutter, which, when new, cut 4mm steel like a hacksaw cut, with very little slag under the cut. I can no longer get that quality cut and the tips need replacing very often. Like about one metre of cut and replace the tip. The copper part seems to gouge out on the inside where it is against the stainless part.
I dont understand the principle. I imagine air must pass between these 2 parts and out the nozzle. Are they supposed to be in firm contact, as I can rotate the copper part by hand when all tightened up.
Please explain what I should be doing.
Pics enclosed. Forgive the quality. I dont know why they call it auto focus, when it doesn't.
