Have to love all the negative feedback when you can out cut someone with a torch.

One of the better videos you can watch.

It's very simple. Keep a clean tip and use the right sized tip for the metal.

When you pull the trigger your flame should not shrink or sound like it's being blown out.

When you get really good and dial in your settings when you pull the trigger your flame will get bigger...

That first cut is beautiful, artistic, fantastic, and a variety of other adjectives. I wish had that skill. Practice, practice, practice. Thanks VERY much!

Wow, I learned most of this by trial and error. At least I thought I did. Your cuts look like a bandsaw!!! Back to the drawing board.

You have a good clean cut which just takes experience and time to develope, when I started my welding career 35 years ago in a ship yard as a welder we had people that were called burners that only used a cutting torch all day long. They have that unique clean cut you have!

Gotta give you credit on the straight cut and the round bolt holes though

[OMGWUNSIU]

Very smooth cuts - nice. The plug that dropped out of the hole was perfect.

that's how I was taught in welding class. back in the late 70s. a lot of comments on turning on the acetylene first. the first knob allows oxygen to the torch. then he lights the acetylene. then he turns on the oxygen. so the acetylene has been lit first. I give this video a thumbs up. Thanks for the video.

[hunterboy]

ur pretty legit dude. thats probably the straightest free hand cut ive ever seen. kudos to you

[knightlykin]

I miss doing this, I think I'm going to get into this again. This has to be one of the coolest careers!

[carlosgavino]

Oh If that camera was zoomed in on the torch only I would have believed it was a machine cutting that line good how to video as well thank you

You have a nice steady hand with fine motor control. I can burn the nut off a bolt & still use the bolt but my burning still does as nice as yours.

[RCDriftChaser]

Nice video. I'm a journeyman electrician ibew, and I did my first year apprenticeship on a electrician welding crew. Fun as hell.

[robbiefrentz]

You sir have a very steady hand. That was such a clean cut

[mikee]

First of all, want to complement you on your skill. I need to practice cutting with this info, I've been wasting fuel this whole time, thank you for teaching us! Great video!

[jeffreythomas]

Excellent video. I am a novice at torches, and this helped vastly. Thank you.

[WinnerClyde]

I am taking a very chalenging welding class for school, but since I started watching your vids I found alot of helpful tips and stuff. I just subscribed, just make sure to keep posting more videos.

[stonewallcrippen]

Those plugs you cut out....damn...bravo!! My hat is off to you friend👍

[jeroenstrompf]

Thank you! I came here through a video on the Russian T-34 tank, where a comment said it was "torch cut". Now I know what that is :)
