- Precision Mode speeds shown are optimized for cut quality. Faster speeds can be achieved.
- Production Mode speeds shown are optimized to balance speed and cut quality./li>
- A Sever Mode is also available, but is not shown in the chart. Sever Mode offers considerably higher cut speeds for use when cut quality is not the priority.
- For brevity, many available operating conditions and processes are not shown in this chart. Please contact ESAB for more information.
- Not all of the cutting conditions indicated are possible on every cutting platform. Contact your Cutting Machine sales representative for additional information on the capabilities of individual machines and processes.
