Generic List of Feed Rates

I just finished my DIY CNC plasma table and I'm using a cheap Harbor Freight plasma cutter to get started. Does anyone know where I can find a generic list of feed rates (Amps / IPM per gauge). I know each machine is different but if I can find something close that would help me get my machine dialed in. I'm using LinuxCNC, Sheetcam and no torch height controller at the moment.

Thanks,
Bob

Hypertherm has plenty of them, downloadable at will and free.

Plenty of them also from Torchmate and ESAB.

I would expect that the Hypertherm tables will be 30% faster than yours so do a test on one thickness and compare. Write some gcode that does a series of cuts about 3-4" long at different speeds and pick the best.

Actually when using an HD 3070 ( 100A hypertherm ) with original electrodes and nozzles i could push it 20 to 30 % faster with not much change in cut quality, so they are good. That is using air only through a dryer, never used it with Nitrogen or Oxygen. Would have been interesting to see how far it can go.
