If you ask me to do something, I will do it. There's no need to nag me every 6 months

Looks to me like it is getting too hot. Also the nozzle might be pulling away from the work, changing the focus. This sometimes happens as a product of other parameters being off. If anything the feed rate may be too slow, causing the excessive heat.
We can be far more helpful if you share your current parameters. Do you have an additional lens you can try to eliminate it as a problem?
RE: .500 Steel on AMADA FO3015?????
I am currently cutting at about 43 in/min.
I created a new grid for that part that skips around the sheet to keep from getting too hot, which has worked in the past. But without the first few parts cutting well, I can't rely on the grid to do anything other than mess up a bunch of good material.
Laserspyder - When you use the woodpecker pierce (A7) how many pierces or "zaps" for lack of a better word do you use?
I will take a picture and post the current parameters soon.

The parameters I have straight from Amada for an Fo3015NT 4kW laser:
55"/min (I'd stick with 40"/min for now)
4000 watts
2000Hz freq
100% duty
.08 gas
.030 nozzle gap
.040" focus
RE: .500 Steel on AMADA FO3015?????
If what was being said earlier about the cut from @thelaserburns was true, "Looks like too much heat"
--Increasing to 4kw , 2000 Hz, and 100% duty would in fact increase the amount of heat being put into the material?
This is also extremely weird. I will post a picture in the AM, but I had sheared off the used portion of the sheet and the cut looks almost perfect.

RE: .500 Steel on AMADA FO3015?????
Having the nozzle gap that large makes the head a bit more likely to rise further from the sheet. once that happens it doesn't typically come back down and your cut goes bad or it loses the cut all together.

and my material info is set to STD
these should get you at least going in the right direction hope it helps

Evans - 25.4 mm = 1 inch

On a side note - how fast are you able to cut 1/4" like butter?

FR 90. PWR 3600 FREQ 1000 Duty 90% GAS P. 0.07 GAS TIme 0.5 GAP .040........how does ur .250 cut?
RE: .500 Steel on AMADA FO3015?????
I will keep you updated.... hopefully this corrects my 1/2" cutting issue

My focus is at .142. I see posts where the focus numbers are low.
