I wouldn’t call myself an expert on this but you could have too small a torch head. There’s a number size rating that you can google. I think that would get you more oxygen to blow that molten metal out and move quicker
@Lucio-rz1ie I’d say just give it a try. Just need right sized tip for the thickness and the acetylene bottle needs to be large enough for that size of tip since the rate at which the acetylene can be undissolved (max volume) is dependent on the size of the bottle so the little tiny bottles that like an HVAC guy would use won’t be big enough. Glad to hear someone your age is interested. Makes for a great hobby or career
@Lucio-rz1ie the medium size bottle at like tractor supply should do. I’m not sure what it’s called. If the torch can cut it, it will be fast. Speed sounds like a big concern for you hopefully this isn’t someone’s safe, lol
Mine keeps welding itself back together behind my pass…any suggestions?

@@TheMoonlightCraftsman ok I will check it out thank you!
That was it! Thanks man
Would recommend wearing a left glove when cutting anything bigger than like 1in
DANG!!
Length is short.. need long length cut
i cut in a scrap yard.. i cut through 9 inches of solid steel like its nothing with a 3" tip. best i could do is 30 dollars on the whole piece..
9 inches. Dang, that would be cool to see in person
No need to do all that pre heat stuff, it’ll cut thru that thickness without all that faff
Good to know. I’ve never cut that thick before

Looks better than my cuts on ⅝". Good job. Very inspiring.
