Tips for Extending the Life of Your Consumables
Proper maintenance and handling can significantly extend the life of your Hypertherm consumables. Here are some expert tips:
Regularly inspect consumables – Look for signs of wear and replace them before they fail.
Use the correct gas and air pressure – Improper settings can cause excessive wear and poor cut quality.
Clean your torch regularly – Prevent dirt, dust, and metal particles from affecting performance.
Avoid excessive pilot arc time – Keeping the torch firing unnecessarily will wear down consumables faster.
Follow proper pierce height settings – Incorrect pierce height can lead to early failure of the nozzle and electrode.
