Newbie advice!?

hi all!! what is the best settings for cutting 16gauge hot rolled mcs? trying to get her dialed in proper~!

Depends on what plasma system you are running for one thing.

Try 35 amp @ 105 ipm, .072 CH, .65 PD to start and go from there. Make some coupons to check settings.

Definitely NOT dumb questions. New people won’t know shortcuts and established people will (and should) use them. Solution? Ask questions, just like you are:
CH: in this context, Cut Height
PD: in this context, Pierce Delay
If you see any other things that you don’t understand, folks around here are happy to answer. DAMHIKT!

CH =cut height
PH = pierce height
PD = pierce delay
Psi = air pressure (pounds per square inch)
CFM = cubic feet per minute
IPM = inches per minute

No worries, it’s just easier to type.
