Depending on the thickness you might not have enough speed to make a clean cut. It would cut at any speed but might be fugly. On my Hypertherm 1250 for example with the fine cut consumables mounted the cut speeds vary from 2286 mm/min to 3174 mm/min for 3.4mm down to 0.6mm steel. So it depends on the thickness your cutting. On the other end of the stick with the 80 amp consumables and 25.4 thick steel the cut speed is 254mm/min.
