while I was impressed

I have an EpicWeld 3-in-1 welder with a PT-31 plasma torch that runs at 50 amps. I used up all of my free bits that came with my machine and while they worked on thinner metal, I had trouble cutting 1/2" to 5/8" steel. It was very ugly and always at a sharp angle, kind of slow, I walked thinking it was just my welder's limitation. I bought these new tips and it's like having a brand new plasma cutter that cuts steel 3/4. Until now I never realized how much the tips can affect the cutting performance. I don't know what the problem was with previous tips but they always picked up a lot of slag and blew out the tip hole easily so I had to use a diamond file to clean the tip after each cut. The tips don't seem to pick up as much dross, coil up more easily and the cuts are smoother and cleaner so I don't know if they're made of a different material or what, but I'll buy them again if I need them.
