Adventures in metal cutting

Interesting post (again Hobart)

Hobart 500i Postflow disable?

I use an airforce 500i also. It is not possible to get around the postflow cooling process, a software change is needed per Miller. I tried putting time delays in between cuts, but found my post flow cooling time varied from 5 up to 20 seconds depending on what I was cutting. I program stops in between all cuts now, (manual NC - stop) and advance the program manually.
