Cutting Expanded Sheet Metal

[xtreme cartz]

it seems you would go broke buying consumables for that much cutting and it still would be slow. maybe if you locked a straight edge in a position that would allow you to move down the center of the v's a little more quickly that would work. there are many ways to deal with this you'll have to find the most cost effective on for you.

Well that is a good point. Even if the plasma was cost effective for this application, attaining a tight tolerance without burning out the vee is another story, plus the slag would take much longer to clean up than the burr from a cutoff wheel.

Do you honestly think I should just by more dust masks and a bulk load of cutting wheels and quit whining? Lol

as i have said, i have cut a lot of it. what you want is a common request and it is commonly done procedure but you need some background in shear operation to visualize the process.

you'll get there....or go broke buying cutoff wheels.
