How to properly use an oxygen acetylene torch for cutting

hi everybody I'm Jackie with Jools Technical Institute from Jacksonville Florida Lexia are nails that about making an oxygen southern cut I teach fabrication of diesel will show you to my gym assembling cutting you body industries a some people use a plasma cutter for everything but when you're cutting Bakersfield kneeing to be portable the oxygen is w misbeliefs quite a bit cause safety things we need first for his serve the safety glasses never come without some type of hypertension hot parts coming up metal in the eyeballs and releasing the other thing is I are just recommend where he loves seen people call the battle bus seeing people with big blisters on her hand so then some of the other products about measles vaccines I mean oxygen is big orange paint here these end of this model oxygen acetylene flame burns it's got the 5,800 degrees so we're very safety-conscious overboard a couple other things ago be using is a striker to light the flame soapstone to be able mark my why because a chipping hammer chip off flags especially only too much one of them a wire brush my maybelline the peel and frayed edge too perk up okay when we're cutting or using a pear shape of your eyes that's the number five shape normal recommended for oxy acetylene cutting is number five leaves a thicker shade for arc welding but direction pedaling cutting number projects was recommended now what's your Mustang show you how to facilitate okay after on a scooter the actions open all the way there is a feel that's talked about then BCM husband is open all the way back and move all the way open you suddenly crash this until the pressure comes on if you put a bi-election quarter turn we want to be able to turn off the southern quickly make case for the merge now a turrible precious oxygen for cutting the circumference the quarter inches miles me I want the interest about 20 psi he said of these we like to run with the cool fiber maybe inside my wife below the desi right here if you're concerned with where Y is going to be aware the cut is going to be you want to have a straight line enough how are you going to get away we curvy line especially looking through the dark shades very tough tell us back to where you're cutting so my scope don't help you he will tell that their mark across chip is here there we go now we're going to ready to cut put on the gloves again these some people come up out over that 5,800 degrees laying right next your hand and there you see burger okay for the torch I'm using a sister cutting torch this is a number one tip good for quarter inch up to three quarter inch steel connection on links cut our on edge pieces when all her power source you talk about that minute the three half of the torch this one mountain going to stay open all the time that's my oxygen that if you convert this torch over for Wellman we use that adjustment for cutting it's a fully open my subway mount of this one and then the knot by adjusting oxygen with this this so we're going to give the acetylene little bit of a term called quarter turn and go like the flame okay turn it up a little bit I get to play burning pretty good we're hopeful sort of going away now I add up to the flow Barry bring it in we're gonna bring the oxygen into the feathers get those one you'll see six will comb it sharp and clear here in Russia not tonight [Music] she's locked in you get a path to review you get it just right then we need to interact in level we're giving put online because it's comfortable please okay from here to disrupt her spirit run hit the oxygen system above that's again what I'm looking for in a good Archon something cut is that we blow off nice the slice should be a whole lot left you've got big drippings plans you probably got a few slow if you go too fast the couple of stops you overpower the previous wing the torch did you know there are six little holes around the outer edge decorate the three deeply the hole in the center is your cutting chest what we do is preheat flame comes up some levels just adopting a cherry red point when his action that causes the rapid oxidation of the mess made no oxidation is rushed but we're actually burning this seal trees are pretty clean cut the priest rate tough if you do it right so little bit of plug I have to chipped off easily or cleaned up with a grounder next I like to do a little bit heavier sub-portion this is the one is deal I need a piece of engine about like that for process that I came here to shop so I can cut it like this if I turn of the oxygens about the math normally referral erq between 20 and 40 psi so I'm going to run it all the way up 40 psi I'm giving it all she's got captain if I push it any harder the whole thing will blow right with higher oxygen pressure again a heavier blast through the mess and we want to make sure that we have an option carrier soak all the way to the better okay so I always do another cup if you watch the preheat will start on the edge of metal get a teary red and as my hips lever we're going to blast the metal mounting through should be just straight cut one inch metal to a little thicker than this torsion setups were so I'll try to do it without getting too much slack or having the cuff stop if I can difference here the first term EU settling up arguing good battle at the end I'm going to overrun the court now that I got there buddy pretty our communities got very hot plate here people to make itself happy vatika I had one little flexion there and we're than one lucky no but I got it yeah that's tough a little bit thicker rounds and what those torches meant for but let's take a look at is created when you make it a cut on metal if you want to make sure you keep a string the attendees make sure you get a nice straight line I'm not going to pick up a hot piece of metal because that's a good way through your glove but I'll show you a piece metal I cut earlier that's nice perfect clean cut little what flavor in there but very little flag now squeeze out my swamis to my process hopefully this shown you when he's not these the main torch safely and to be able to use for your project I'm Scott Ruffy is k-tec here in Jacksonville Florida thanks for watching
