Perfect!
Thanks for the memory jog!

Hello folks - hope this is the right forum to post this question.
I'm drawing a complete blank for some reason - I've seen these setups that can be used as part of an OA torch, where you can use the torch and then set it in this device/stand - it then cuts off the flame/gas, but re-ignites once you lift it off this stand (assuming there is some type of sparker of igniter). Sounds like the device is plumbed to regulators/valves that control gas flow/based on the postion of a lever that holds the torch.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? I saw it in a Peter Parkinson video - he was using it to help perform a series of twists in a bar, in which he had to put down the torch to re-orient material, then picked it back up to use. Lots of ON/OFF time, so to speak.
A pic/brand or web reference would certainly be appreciated!
Thanks, Mike -
Nice work Nuge...

Love it!
Great job... -
Sounds like your set on your decision, but I purchased a 250lb Rathole earlier this year and have been very happy with it. Of course, I visit Jackson WY from CO quite a bit, so picking one up saved me the shipping $$..

There is simply one correct solution to your problem: It sounds like you have a shop with too much equipment & tools - I, on the other hand, have a shop that NEEDS equipment & tools. I think you know the answer. I'm looking for a fly press, air hammer, milling machine..etc.
Let me know if you need my shipping address!!

About 6yrs straight on a BP and 4 others mixed experience and have to agree with NM and others. Heavier cuts - conventional, but I always finished, when necessary,with climb milling.
Just be careful - I'd even work the table clamps slightly with sloppy ways... -
How bout coal?
big railing project

Just a point to be clear about with your clients Mark (as I'm sure you already know).
Are you producing railings out of wrought iron - the material - or building "wrought" iron railings from mild steel? Assuming the latter, but it would certainly make a difference in $$ and availability.
Good luck on your project/business! Just a bit jealous from cubicle land here..
