The cutting speeds and conditions in the following tables were selected to give the best quality with a particular gas combi-
nation at a specific current .
Consumables - Refer to PT-26 Torch manual for recommended parts for these conditions . Use of parts in combinations and
applications other than as described herein can result in damage to the torch or poor performance .

RecOMMeNDeD gaS aND cuRReNT

The following charts provide the recommended gas and current selection for common metals to obtain the best cutting results .
Material type: caRbON STeel
Thickness gas and current Selection
1/8" (3 .2mm) 50 / 65 Amps, Air Plasma/Air Shield
and Thinner
3/16 - 1/2 100 Amps, Plasma/Air Shield .
(4 .8 - 12 .7mm) 100 Amps, Air Plasma/Air Shield is also good but there will be bottom dross on 1/2" (12 .7mm)
material .
1/2" - 2" 150 Amps, Plasma/Air
(12 .7mm - 50mm)
Material type: STaINleSS STeel
Thickness gas and current Selection
1/4 - 3/8" 100 Amps, N
(3 .2 - 9 .6mm) Shield can produce little or no dross and good surface quality through 1/2" (12 .7mm) material .
100 Amps, Air Plasma/Air
Shield is as good on bottom dross but produces a rougher cut surface .
1/8" (3 .2mm) 50 - 65 Amps, N
and Thinner Shield produces best surface but light dross on 1/8" material .
50 - 65 Amps, Air Plasma/Air
Shield can produce dross free cuts but the surface is rough .
Material type: aluMINuM
Thickness gas and current Selection
1/4" (6 .4mm) 50/65 Amps, N
and Thinner Shield usually produces fairly smooth, dross free cuts .
50/65 Amps, Air Plasma/Air
Shield produces much rougher cut surfaces .
1/4" (6 .4mm) 150 Amps, Plasma/N2
and Thinner H-35
