I have a Mazak Champion and having problems cutting .316 stainless. Poor cuts with dross. I'm using a 2mm nozzle. Any suggestions as to what is going on?

Make sure you have enough nitrogen pressure at the nozzle. Focal point is also important; long sharp burr means focal point is too high. Small burr means focal point too low.

Will there be problems with the cutting section if the laser cutting speed is too fast or too slow?
