Edge Start

Edge starting is required on thicker material that the torch has trouble piercing through. The edge start requirement changes based on the torch you have and the material type you are cutting. Mild Steel edge starting on a Powermax 65/85 starts at 7/8”, Powermax 105 starts at 1”, and a Powermax 125 starts at 1 ¼”. This walkthrough will be cutting a 1” thick Mild Steel 6”x6” square with a Powermax 85 on 85A.
