Thanks for trying to help Tweakie. I found a video on flanges for Qcad and got it done. But thank you very much for trying to help out.

Lol the same thing! .565 inch hole. Even cutting thru 1/8 plate. I can't seem to get things set right. What feed rate and amp should I try it at. Seem like I've tried about everything. It's a Eagle plasma 4x4 with a Hypertherm Powermax 45

Someone with experience using a plasma machine may chime in as they can give you appropriate advice.

Maybe it's the wrong tip on the tip on the cutter

How thick is the metal you cutting?
