Hi all, I recently made a change to my power supply for the reasons explained in this post...viewtopic.php?p=31821#p31821. For the 100W RECI tube I've set my power supply to output no more than 21mA as the manufacturers recommended max is 24mA....I'm being a little conservative. Anyway, now when I set the controller for 100% power I get 21mA to the tube. Figure it will extend the life of my tube with no downside in cutting speed.
