How to Cut Thick Metal – Kevin Caron

#esabweldingcutting #cuttingbeast #PlasmaCutters #PlasmaCutting #ESAB #ThermalDynamics #KevinCaronArt From https://goo.gl/Pe21xX - Kevin Caron shows a piece of 1-1/2” steel plate that the folks over at ESAB sent along with the Cutmaster 60i plasma cutter, a beast of a metal cutting machine. Kevin Caron is going to take a chunk out of that metal with the Cutmaster 60i, but first he wants to change out the consumables inside of it because he has been playing with the plasma cutter and wants to give it a fresh chance at this chunk of steel. First, Kevin Caron shows the SL60QD 1Torch. He says the “QD” obviously stands for “quick disconnect” as he easily removes the torch from the cable. “That’s cool!” he says. To get to the tip, you just have to unscrew the cap, take off the nozzle, the swirl ring and the tip. Next he grabs some new consumables. He just presses down the new tip inside, then replaces the swirl ring, nozzle and cap. Now he just hooks it up so he can get to work. First, though, Kevin Caron runs through the settings. The plasma cutter is set at 60 amps on the short torch. He makes sure the correct air pressure and the right cut setting are selected. Kevin Caron puts on some safety gear. “Let's see how hot we can make it!” he says. The Cutmaster 60i plasma cutter rips through that 1-1/2” steel plate in 100 seconds without any trouble. “Wow!” says Kevin Caron. “Check that out. That's pretty impressive for a 60 amp plasma cutter! So I guess that's why they call this Cutmaster 60i a beast!” Kevin Caron is ready to go back to playing with this amazing plasma cutter some more, so you have time to check out this beast at https://goo.gl/Pe21xX It's also a great time to subscribe to see more how to videos and visit http://www.kevincaron.com to see Kevin Caron's wild work.
