I am cutting titanium up to 12 inches thick. The man who taught me at my job hardly speaks english. Nobody has a understanding of the torch theyre just doing what they think is right. This was so helpful you have no idea. Im going to do more research!
I started out watching this with the sound off and was getting a distinct Will Farrell vibe from this guy...so now I want to see Will Farrell do a skit about a welding teacher.
I was taught and always teach others to shut the fuel off first, then the oxygen. Also, there is no reason to fully open the valves. But there is a big reason NOT to open them fully. 1.5 turns is enough for fuel and oxygen to fully pressurize the system.
I agree that there should be more of these videos! I check every few months. I have Smith equipment, and am inclined to trust them, especially after watching this one! It's one of the greatest lab presentations I've ever seen!
I don't think I have enjoyed watching any youtube video as much as I have enjoyed this one. Such a proffessional. Thank you so much. There is so much to learn from this gentleman.
This is helpful. I'd love to see another video or two showing how to get a neutral flame with the oxy-propane brazing tips (I have the MW-411) and also the oxy-propane rosebuds (I have the MT-805). Some additional commentary on the propane tank sizes required to run the rosebud for short periods of time (as opposed to continuous use) would also be helpful. Thanks in advance -- it's great to see high quality tools like your torches being made in the US. Keep the videos coming.
This guy is a throwback to the instructional movies from the 60's and 70's.
If Harvard had a shop class, this guy would be the Professor there.
10 years old, but still the BEST video giving the procedure for oxy/propane cutting.
Too complicated for a Harvard preppy!

It's like I'm listening to a radio announcer from the 80's. You got a beautiful voice.

Gotta love this presenter. He has such a great, classic baritone voice....he could do voiceovers for movies!

Put the cue card behind the camera. I felt like you were talking to the guy that was standing 10ft to the left of me
Airgas & praxair (Army also teaches this) says only to open the fuel gas 1 to 1.5 turns.

Perfect lesson and Smith makes beautiful torches.

This is an excellent video, the best I have found on oxy propane cutting.
Exceptional, clear, confident, precise and professional presentation. Thank you.
Super video, thanks. Never saw that “star pattern@ trick for regulating O2 ratio.
Excellent.
I think that that was the best presented and organised instructional video i have ever seen. Ever.
Sensational, thanks.
