🎯 Ideal Applications:

Best For:

1. ✅ CNC plasma table cutting (heavy-duty)
2. ✅ Automated mechanized cutting on thick material
3. ✅ High-production environments
4. ✅ Structural steel fabrication
5. ✅ Material thickness: 3/8" to 5/8" (10-16mm)
6. ✅ Fast cutting on heavy-gauge material

Material Thickness Guide:

Optimal Range: 10 mm - 16 mm (3/8" - 5/8")Sweet Spot: 1/2" (12mm) thick material

Below 10mm (3/8"):- Consider 65A cartridge (428930)- Better speed/quality on thinner material- More economical operation

Above 16mm (5/8"):- Near maximum capacity- Speed may decrease- Consider thicker capable system

Exceeding optimal range:- Decreases cutting speed- Reduces cut quality- May shorten cartridge life
