Air assist nozzle and cut speed problems
Posted: Tue May 03, 2016 9:53 am
Recently upgraded to 750mm 40w LO tube on my k40. Along with this i upgraded to the LO air assist nozzle.
With the air assist cone on the beam is hitting the inside of the cone.
Cutting quality without the cone on is good but kerf is not vertical rather leans back towards back of the machine. A side view of material would look like this / /
Having more power is not giving me any more cutting speed and i still need to cut 3mm acrylic very slowly (3.8mm/s) to fully penetrate material.
Anyone have any insight on how i can get my machine back on track?
