RE: Cutting conditions for 1/4 aluminum for Amada FO 3015 NT

No matter what you do you will have burr on that thickness of aluminum on any CO2 Laser. The goal is to minimize it because you won't get rid off it. I would say try using a double nozzle if you have one, or better yet, try to cut it with shopair if you have the pressure and the volume.
