There's been questions on here about whether a Chinese Cut50 can do 10mm and I can confirm that it can, but not with ease!
I reckon that at an indicated 49Amps we were right on the limit of what the machine can do - it would often stop penetrating and turn into a gouger. The problem with that is that the molten lava then sat on top of where I was trying to cut increasing the depth by another few mm!
But, perseverance and a slow, steady hand got me through the 120cm width. Results weren't too shabby, although the angle grinders did earn their money tidying it up!
Decent cut to the back, plasma gouging on the left...
Good bit, bad bit...
