Powermax 65 Finecut issues - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Seeing if anyone out with more cutting time experience has any tricks they would like to share. Each time I do a long cut (more than 5 min.) I always get some sort of error cut code. Usually its a 0-21, which is a lost gas flow while cutting error. I have turned up the gas pressure on the machine, I turned up the psi on my compressor to 120 psi at the regulator and it sort of seems like it is a little bit better, but I still have issues. I noticed that it does this around the time that the compressor is getting ready to kick on...

just a suggestion but you could adjust your Kick on/ Kick off points on the compressor

My deal is this is only an issue when I'm using finecut consumables...

Fixed it! Initial cut height is key...was at .06 per book, but at .13 no issues
