Maximum torch angle
The maximum torch angle with extreme bevel consumables is 66.5 degrees at a clearance of 2 mm
(0.080 in). Using a maximum torch angle during bevel cutting increases the effective thickness of
the workpiece being cut. For example, bevel cutting a 12 mm (.50 inch) workpiece at a 60-degree
angle is like cutting a 25 mm (1 inch) workpiece at a 90-degree angle. Refer to Effective thickness.
Hypertherm recommends using the default torch-clearance settings to start cutting. Adjust
clearance settings only when necessary.
Effective thickness
Effective thickness is directly related to the workpiece thicness and the angle of the torch .
When cutting at an angle, the thickness that the torch has to cut is increased.
