I am busy at the moment. I will test all of that in a moment.
Thanks everybody for your help. I found out today that my dad installed a second regulator in the air supply to the plasma cutter and that was regulated at 80 psi.

Do any of you know how much a pack of fine cut consumables is? I can’t find the price on Hypertherm’s website.
Try eBay or just Google. You have to change the swirl ring and everything if I am not mistaken.

Glad you figured it out. You might plan to install a another pressure gauge closer to your cutter. It will tell you two things:
- Has there been any changes to the expected pressure (such as someone changing a regulator upstream); and
- If you have both upstream and downstream gauges, and you start cutting and see a tremendous drop of the downstream gauge, you might assume one of your filters (such as Motorgard) may need a new element.
Here is a topic that was started a few months ago, discussing where to buy Hypertherm consumables:
