- First I would check if operator before me had me a turnover and I would finish that job. If not one I'd grab next job and download it to my computer. Next I would check what material ill need and how thick the the sheet was. After that I'd load it on my table, get plate lined out, setup and sometimes I would do pre run then start cutting. I would be using the plasma or the propylene torch it just depended on thickness and the material.
