At my employer, cutting with a 200A plasma torch running liquid oxygen, we don't cut faster than 160 IPM or so. This is cutting mild steel from .060 to 1". I'm usually the shear / brake press guy, but I've ran the burn table a number of times. I've wondered if our cutting rates are ideal, but they've been using them for years now. Not sure if this'll be useful or not, these are the people who run the bandsaw at arount 330 IPM surface speed and run the drill press at it's highest speed(900 RPM) for every size drill they use. And I don't know what I'm talkin about when I suggest different. Guess this turned into a bit of a vent. Sorry about that.
