Two specific concerns with plasma holes are the taper and the ding or divot that is present on the interior of the hole. Both of these cut quality issues prevent a bolt from being able to pass through the hole; therefore, operators typically would have to perform secondary operations in order to improve the roundness of the hole to the point where a bolt would cleanly fit. After years of research, Hypertherm developed True Hole Technology in order to address these concerns.
