Torch Help
ok I have used torches before. the last time was 10 years ago. I know your suposed to adjust as and oxygen until the blue flame gets to ~1/4" in length.
my problem is that my blue flame never becomes an arrow shape. I see all 5 little streams of blue flame. do I not have a cutting head on it and just a brazing head or some thing? no matter how I adjust the gas and oxygen mix the small flames never connect to make one larger one. |
That would be correct for a cutting tip....5 small arrow shaped flames, they wont merge into one.....
Try find a pic for ya... |
if its a rose bud the blue wont all touch wat are u trying to do with the torch

ya long horn if he says its not a cutting tip but has 5 flames its probaly a big rose bud tip
|
Is the tip clean?
|
I cleaned it up. I thought you were supposed to get all the lines to meet?
I was just trying to play with my new toys and couldnt cut a 1/4" piece of plate steel. I'll have to try the right flame. I tried it a bunch of different ways and couldnt get it to cut. I'm not familiar with the different tips. what is the best tip for cutting? |
well does the head have a lever if its a rose bud or like a welding tip u aint gonna get nothin cuut with 1/4 inch a #2 would do great
|
yeah there is a lever. it looks like the second picture that longhorn posted.
