Cut with the Machine Torch
This section provides information to help you:
 Choose the correct consumables
 Optimize cut quality
 Pierce metal
 Cut stainless steel with F5 gas
Choose the consumables
Your Duramax Lock machine torch ships with a starter consumable kit that contains a complete set
of shielded consumables plus 1 extra electrode and 1 extra nozzle. Consumables for gouging and
marking are available to order separately.
 For details on gouging processes and consumables, see Gouge with the Hand Torch and
Machine Torch on page 71.
 For details on the system’s marking capabilities and consumables, see Guidelines for
Marking on page 113.
Consumables are shielded or unshielded.
 Shielded consumables provide greater protection for the nozzle to minimize damage
caused from slag during piercing. Hypertherm recommends the use of shielded
consumables whenever possible.
 If you are using unshielded consumables (for example, a deflector instead of a shield), be
careful to maintain the correct torch height in order to avoid damaging the nozzle from slag
or from accidental contact with the workpiece.
