Great advice. You should check out the Beck's Armory Machine torch holders for the XR. It has a laser cross that could reduce the time i takes to line up your torch with the pre-drilled pierce hole. :)
Increase your lead in length, should be et least the thickness of the material also the pip you have on the cut is the end of the cut, to minimise it increase the overburn length .
I envy you for having enough time to cut 25mm (1 inch) with 65A. I use Hypertherm Powermax 125 and cut 25mm with 125A at almost 4x the speed. Cut quality is not that great but the parts I cut do not have to be that precise. I cut a lot of material, some 1000 tons or more per year. Most of it is in 10-25mm range but i often cut 30 and 35mm too with pre-drilled hole just like you did. At 125A you can pierce 25mm easily, i think i set my machine to 2 or 2.4 seconds pierce time (not sure, i have like 200 profiles for cutting) but 30mm is not suitable for pierceing. It is possible but it can (and usualy will) damage the cutting head due to erupting molten metal blown out by compressed air. In any case, great job and very nice cut quality. I had my doubts about 65A being enough for 25mm plate but at that low speed I am amazed how good it worked. Great job! You can check my channel and see how I work too, I would be happy to share experiences with you.
@@rmkensington I agree, Powermax 125 is a great machine but I too believe that more powerfull power unit would be more fitting. When we decided to buy plasma cutter (working table is 6000x2000mm) it was initialy planned to be used for thin materials (0,5-10mm or so) and for stainless steel (we use a lot of stainless in our chemical department, very agressive materials there, sulphuric and nitrogen acid, chlorine...) but it turned out to be far more versatile and usable then planned. We definitely plan to go for a stronger unit but I am not sure about gases, due to price we would love to be able to cut only with air. There are also ideas to go for 40-60kW laser, prices are really going down for chinese equipment.
Hey nice job i have also langmuire xr with rasorweld but having problemen with cutting more than 0.4 inch i think air flow or i have no air drager Can you help me out greetings
wow, great cut. I have the same Plasma machine on a Langmiur machine and am getting crooked cuts on 3/8". I changed tips and still having problems. Any suggestions??
Check and make sure your torch is square and perpendicular to your workpiece. Find out if it does it in x and y axis. If it does it going in x and y then your likely not cutting using book settings. Either too far from material or too fast.
That's awesome. Love the tip of starting a hole for piercings. I do a little thick stuff, haven't done 1 inch though. Can you tell me why you cut at a higher height setting? Thanks again. Ill be subscriber.
Those are likely book settings from hypertherm. Higher the cut the longer your consumables will last but it's a fine line. Too far away you will have a beveled cut. The book settings for the hypertherm machines are pretty good on thicker material.
@@Curtis_Schwoeppe_Enterprises also what do you think about centroid? I'm getting ready to upgrade my plasma table to a centroid control, Long story but my software is not supported.
I have a milling machine that I retrofit with a newer centroid acorn control and I really like it. The user interface is something from the 90s lol, but it operates well. I would like to see an updated user software like Langmuir systems fire control is pretty sweet.

Wow that was much cleaner than I’d expected! Thanks sir!
Nice work!
Some great advice in this video

Some good tips in that video.
Glad it was helpful!

You need an XPR300 for cutting tons of 1" all day

What is the sq stock with teeth next to the torch?

@@Curtis_Schwoeppe_Enterprises I'll be interested to try the higher setting.
