I'm kind of new to the cutting torch and not sure I'll be able to pull it off. The thickest I've cut so far is 1" mild steel. Sometimes I've done just fine while other times I've struggled a good deal with only half penetration and lots of molten metal blow back. Anyone got any pointers? |
It might be,your torch is too small for the thickness off the material.I dont know the tipe,the nozzle might be changeable( 1, 2, 3),with increasing acet. pressure.First maybe try warm up the material,driving along the flame the way to cut,and give a little more oxigen by cutting.
