14 years later and still teaching people how to run a oxygen and propane torch

I needed a refresher how to adjust the torch. I don't get to use it often.

The flashback arrestors should be at the regulator end....what happens if you set fire to your hoses

Can you wear a clear full face shield and no glasses?

That was great. Great teacher! 👏

You already know the man knows how to do shit if his name is Dale

Excellent instruction. Thank you!

Looae and wiggly....Love that!!.. lol

DELETE THIS 💩 ! Start Thinking... And try again.

Still the best video . Thank you

Thank you so much . The best

I want him to explain how to make cereal

It would be great to see him make a video demonstrating proper adjustment of an oxy propane rosebud

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.

Well done video u hit all key points n gave a very good demo Thank u.

Thanks for your presentation! Kudos to you, your explanation of star patterns of gas flow is extremely helpful! I'm learning things now from your video that I'd hope that an apprentice metal worker might learn, so your video is extremely important to a whole bunch of people! (I'm a 70 y.o. retired pilot and amateur metal sculptor who recently changed from oxy acetylene to oxy propane.)

thank i can finally cut thick plate properly

Smith’s & Miller-Smith history: Smith Equipment Manufacturing was founded by Elmer Smith in 1916 as “Smith Inventions”. Located in a garage in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it began as a small design and manufacturing operation, building a line of oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment. In the 1950s, the business was expanded to supply, high pressure and specialty gas regulators for laboratories and aerospace applications. Looking for a more high tech name and fitting for those industries the company name was changed to TECOM Corporation which is an acronym for The Elmer Smith Company of Minnesota. In 1981 the oxy-fuel equipment manufacturing portion of the business, then known as Smith Equipment was relocated to Watertown, South Dakota and the specialty gas regulation operations remained in Minneapolis. TESCOM Corporation was later purchased by three of its managers and in 1996 the Smith Equipment oxy- fuel manufacturing operations in Watertown were later acquired by the investment group, Full Circle Investments. In 1998 Smith Equipment was acquired by Illinois Tool Works (ITW) a Fortune 200 global diversified industrial manufacturer. Miller Electric Mfg. Co. the most powerful welding equipment brand in North America and part of the same parent company (Illinois Tool Works Inc.) as Smith Equipment, has been working together for years aligning in the same principles and best practices in manufacturing. In 2013 the Smith Equipment line of oxy-fuel cutting products was consolidated under the Miller brand, making it possible to take advantage of the strength, equity and recognition of Miller, who has long been known and respected as an industry leader in metal welding and cutting technology. The Watertown operation manufactures an extensive line of oxy-fuel, gas regulation, cutting, welding and heating equipment as well as specialty gas regulators, gas mixers, jewelers torches and aircraft pitot tubes.

Perfect

Watching in 2023 just learning to cut with a torch, very helpful video, thank you

Where do we find the list of torches by Smith from the beginning?

Why is it I cannot find an old Smith torch catalog? I can't find any source of information on the various models of Smith torches throughout the years. I came across a photo of a small Smith torch that resembles a Victor J40 and could not find that torch anywhere. I wanted to try and figure out what the model # was with no luck! Does Miller/ Smith have a catalog of torches from the beginning? I would think Elmer Smith was be disgusted if there was no library of Smith torches from the beginning.

Great video - reminds me of being an apprentice 😂

Thanks, great explanation. Greetings from Maine.

Seems a big difference in the shutdown. I was accustomed to fuel maintaining combustion after the oxygen shutoff. Perhaps I was using an unsafe procedure or am less familiar with propane as fuel.

Bottles should only be cracked one full turn at the most. 40lbs of oxygen seems like a awful lot . Is that the cost of using propane instead of acetylene?

Exceptional, clear, confident, precise and professional presentation. Thank you.

Great info.

Learned more in this video than a year of welding class

Excellent video. Wasn't aware propane could be used to cut steel. Thanks for posting it.

I learned how to use an oxygen acetylene cutting torch in school but never oxygen Propane. Great vid 👌🏾

“ And now you know the rest of the story “

This was the best description I've heard in depth and I surely appreciate it thank you so much

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

you build great products

Thats a nice torch !!

Too complicated for a Harvard preppy!

Nice video. Thanks for making it so concise and direct. If you weren't a shop teacher at some point, you should have been... Too many KZbin videos are verbose and "stream-of-consciousness" BS and that it is why it is SO refreshing to see you being "old school". Again - thanks for the video. I'm now in the market for a torch. LOL

Open the bottle valves all the way, so that if anything bad happens, you have to stand next to the propane bottle for an entire 30 seconds turning it back off again

...I’m not sure that’s how I was taught to set the flame....

Excellent instruction lesson Dale. You’re a great teacher.

Great instructional video. Helped me understand how to use this specific setup. This guy should definitely be running a school when it comes to this kinda stop.

But really great video. Thank you buddy

You forgot to mention the part when you cut a hole on the propane tank.

Take it easy. Say hello to danger.

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

This is so good. I love this guy.

Thank you sir every thing you showed me I was doing wrong ,Trusting my welding supply to show me the correct way . I could never drop the cut piece like you showed ,I would have to tap off with a hammer . I had pressures at regulator set at what they suggested ,Witch was way to high . Thank you . My cut piece drops now just like yours .

These are great videos. QUESTION for you or anyone. Do these 10lb and 40lb settings change as the thickness in metal changes? Thanks

Was this guy in The Breakfast Club?
