Creating a center point to have a pilot hole

There’s no chance you can cut a .07 hole with any plasma cutter setup. Only way you’re gonna cut a hole that size accurately is by laser.

The average plasma kerf is 0.055”. It’s difficult enough to cut a hole 1/8” which is about as small as you can probably even get CAM to let you cut with no lead in or lead outs.

Are you using a mag drill or mill? You can get away with a 3/16” hole and still have a roto broach pilot pin stay on target.

Why don’t you just cut the entire hole from the start with the plasma?
