Is this bevel normal?

I’m cutting out a small circle and I noticed that the bevel doesn’t point in the same direction on either side of the circle. I Guess I’m just wondering if this is normal or if there is some misalignment somewhere in my set up. My index finger is on the same face in both pictures.

Would really appreciate some help on this.

What direction are you cutting? Best side of cut is to the right of travel. So inner contours are cut counter clockwise, outer clockwise. Taper will be around 2.5 degrees. As for your problem, I had similar and it went away after changing consumables. Here’s a post I made on plasmaspider with a bit more info

Thanks for the input and the link. I also found this online on how to troubleshoot cut issues. https://www.hypertherm.com/en-US/support/system-support/maintenance-and-use/cut-quality/cut-angularity/
