It is plasma.How much energy does the water jet use? Some of them are scary I understand.

Meant to say there is no bottom dross on the steel and the top just falls off if you wipe your finger over it as it just a fine spray like dross.All top dross, not much at all on the bottom
I really don’t know about water tabling mine…..
I’ve got a down draft at the moment but it has actually increased heat back to the work piece. Which is a real pain in the hoop when it comes to stainless, which I do a lot of.
Wondering if water is the way to go. What about consumables, water getting flung about, treatment etc etc? Trying to weigh it all up.
Maybe I just need to try it And seeConsumables, if anything, are lasting a bit longer but it has been a while so... It is certainly no worse, I can say that with confidence. Regarding the torch, so far it has been fine and that must be a couple of years.
I am using the Rocol V-Cut SS cutting fluid in mine diluted about 100:1 if I recall
Best thing I ever did.Maybe I just need to try it And see

Could you please do a weld on a couple of bits of scrap ally and deliberately dab the electrode then do a close up just to make mere mortals like me feel better. Beautiful work. " dropped off" if my efforts were that good they would be in a glass case.
Sometimes it's difficult to hand parts over I've took the time handled the parts with surgical gloves or tig gloves then they come with dirty oily hands and mess them upCould you please do a weld on a couple of bits of scrap ally and deliberately dab the electrode then do a close up just to make mere mortals like me feel better.
