* You can pierce thicknesses up to 32 mm (1-1/4 inch) if your CNC software and torch height control system enable you to
temporarily raise the torch in order to clear the puddle of dross that can form during the pierce. In Hypertherm’s Phoenix CNC
software, for example, this function is referred to as the “puddle jump height.” Using this piercing function may affect consumable
life.
