Continued: cut 50 Hf works great, this one has a new main board ( Nov 2019 ) circuitry is differential than older models there isn’t a bank of exposed IGBTs on each side. Many main board components are covered by the large heat sinks. Found I need extended torch tip kits in order to use circle cutter kit.

[@petestools]

glad it worked out for you. cheers pete

[@konabone3921]

Thanks

[@petestools]

No problem

[@va7da]

Pete: thanks for all the great info on your videos. I bought the cheapest cut 50 Hf on EBay. A few hiccups with air leaks, including bad 8mm to 1/8 NPT push to release fittings

[@petestools]

Nice work!

[@donlocklear5769]

Great job Pete you answered a thought I had I wanted to get some of the nickel cutting tips but I have a crap loud of copper consumables so now I know i can mix them up as long as everything is the same size am i Right ? Thanks again Don..

[@petestools]

Glad to help

Hey Pete, another great and informative video. Just one question, with Pilot Arc Torches do you still need to drill a hole 1st if you need to cut a piece away from an edge or can you get away with it?? Cheers Pete

[@petestools]

just hold your torch on an angle so you don't get direct blowback

[@melgross]

Or use a piercing tip. I assume they’re available for these machines. A gauging tip would also work. Just hold the torch at an angle to avoid blowback.

[@petestools]

nope you can't buy piercing or gauging tips for theses super cheap torches

[@melgross]

@@petestools That's a shame. try holding the torch at about a 45 degree angle. It won't work for 6mm up, but it works on 3mm.

[@SteveHutcheson]

It concerns me you are doing this without protective gloves on.

[@petestools]

might start wearing them .but find uncomfortable

[@neiladcock8382]

Every mistake I made on the first day!
