More accurate cut please

Normally I would reference the hypertherm manual but this is also a good way of coming up with your actual real world kerf width.

For a test design a 2x2 square and then make your tool path to cut a center line cut for the outside perimeter.

A good example would be.

You make your cut you measure the square.

It ends up being 1.95 " in width.

2.“- 1.95” = .05

Your kerf with is .05 for that particular material and those particular parameters.

You could also do a 1 in hole on the inside and do a kerf width check there too. Then add the inside and outside kerf width together and then divide it by two.

I made this video a couple years ago going to the process of making a test Square infusion 360.
