[@xsmoked_hamx1528]

The part has to be warmed up to 700-900°f for a nice cut. You can cut it way hotter than that but at my work we use hydraulic tables for leveling and squaring of parts and if the parts are too hot lines can burst and if it hits the part you have a really sick looking flamethrower which is usually something you don't want to happen. but ya I bet that piece of steel is pretty fuckin hot, but not glowing hot

[@BabaYaga214]

If you haven't already figured it out after this long, I'll give you a few good reasons. 1. Hot liquid metal flying out of the side wouldn't be fun for anything in the immediate area, so a vertical cut pushes it downwards into a container placed there specifically for that purpose. 2. Gravity would make things very difficult after getting so far into the cut, because the steel above the cut would start drooping more and more as the torch gets to the end of the cut. 3. Cutting horizontally all the way across solid steel would most likely need to be raised and held in the air to even work right. That way the metal below the cut could just drop.

[@s.weldingandfabrication4287]

oxy acetylene mixture heats it up enough to melt, the massive oxygen pressure then blows the molten metal away

[@geoffmooregm]

@@s.weldingandfabrication4287 Not exactly. The pressure of the cutting Oxygen does not blow away the metal. If this were true you could do it with air and you would also be able to cut any metal. But you can only cut Ferrous metals with Oxy/Fuel. What your seeing is a chemical reaction. The steel is heated to a temperature which allows for rapid oxidization, the pure oxygen is rapidly rusting or burning the steel away.

@@juancabell77 yes you must provide enough oxygen to react with all the iron in the kerf of the cut. Tip orifice size and pressure both play a roll. You will notice some types like an AC tip will use low pressure and a big orifice. But a machine cutting VVC tips will use a small orifice and high pressure.

A typical application would use mapp gas and Oxygen. But they would come from storage tanks on the property. Oxygen cylinders do have the necessary pressure for this job, but the mapp gas tanks do not. A large storage tank is required for them to get enough pressure. And just for the record the cutting tip that was necessary for the 7.5" cut cost $45 and is burnt up after one use just to start the first hole. Why they didn't drill a hole first I'll never know.

@@ciroc_lobster4052 No. It is the oxygen jet stream in the core of the flame that burn iron (converting it in iron oxide) the "tool". The fuel is needed only to heat the steel to the temperature in wich it can burn when in contact with oxygen. Theoretically after the oxygen started to cut you can shut off the fuel, because iron is the primary fuel of the reaction. Fuel is needed only to make sure that the reaction remains stable.

Hmm... I think my grandma need this for her kitchen

[@oshkiv4684]

For cutting the fruit cake?

[@izotopestudio6097]

I dont understand one thing. Why dont you just rotate this block on 90° and cut that piece from longer but more thiner side? 🤷‍♂️

[@foxmoulder7724]

just to demonstrate that they can

Is that saber beam?

Must have one hell of a pressure of oxygen 👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I am never going to swear when I cut quarter inch plate ever again.

Having trouble cutting 1/4? Not trying to be funny or pick on you but i have some tips if you'd like to hear them.

[@johndowe7003]

@@redacted9907 5psi acetylene and 40psi oxy, you can use 3psi fuel and 30 psi oxy but eh . also face your torch against whatever youre cutting so it pre heats the metal as you move the torch forward into the cut.

[@redacted9907]

@@johndowe7003 good tip, but what size tip is that with? I personally like to run a 00 tip with 7-8psi acetylene and 40-45psi oxygen for 3/16" up to 3/8" for production purposes. You can freehand or use a cheater bar for straight cuts. Also run the torch across your cut patch a few time quickly prior to cutting. Just keep your ports clean and maintain a neutral flame and you shouldn't have any problems.

@@redacted9907 its for a triple ought i think (000) im not sure what tip size i have on my torch. i dont like running that high of oxy cause its its waste. usually i can get two bottles of oxy for one bottle of fuel before i have to refill. so its saves me more cash, i free hand everything and use a soap stone if i need to mark things for 8psi fuel i would go 50 psi oxy or 60. but you dont need to go that high unless youre getting 3inch plate . 5 psi and 40 will cut up to one inch no problem. i personally think youre wasting too much gas but if youre not paying for it go for it haha, smoke em if you got em kinda deal there. i run my stuff in my own shop so im about cost effectiveness over speed.its all personal preference. for thinner stuff like i go to 3psi fuel and 30 psi oxy.

[@redacted9907]

@@johndowe7003 Yeah i hear ya but the thing to remember is cost difference between gas and what your guys make per hour. If it's you by yourself then i understand. But with the setup I described previously, i can cut about 80 to 120 ipm depending on preheat and thickness. I work for someone else and at the end of the day, gas is an expense. Expenses qualify as a tax deduction at the end of the year. Just keep good records and you may be able to increase your bottom line profit. Oh, to be clear... those settings I mentioned, that's just max flow at regulator. I set my torch with the knobs based on application. Most of the time I'm not running full open. I change tips not flowmeter settings. Saves me time and increases my productivity.

Is waterjet work on it?

[@swampratt36]

Shit , I ran a burn table at contractor's steel in Twinsburg in early 80's and we cut 24"x100"x240" on the weekly . What's the big deal? a few more inches thick ? More heat =more fuel n liquid oxy and slower rate . Not impressed ,sorry .🤔👍

[@Infinity2219]

I'd be impressed if it was by hand.
