Pierce height and cut height

Good afternoon,
I have a crossfire pro table with a razor weld cut 45 machine torch.

I am trying to cut some 16ga metal for one of my designs. I have been able to cut 16ga before and haven’t changed setting in-between cuts. For some reason for this cut it is keep giving me a Cutting Voltage Lost During Cut. I have checked all of the wiring, work clamp, and consumables. Attached is the message it is keep giving me as well as my post process setting. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you


Sometimes it does start the cut but then mid cut stop working and then gives me that message.

1 second is a very long pierce delay for 16 ga material. It’s probably burning out and losing electrical connection before it starts moving.

Try lowering that to .5(1/2 second)

Thank you David. I will try that. Do you think that’s the main reason why I am getting this message?

Yes. Too long of a pierce delay allows the plasma to burn away all of the metal that it uses to maintain the electrical connection between the electrode and the work clamp.
