Good idea kevin.I remembermy Dadfrom the old old school.He was master with an acc/oxg set up.He didn't have a cuttng tip,rose buds or other fancy tips.he would cut
metal with just a regulator tip,depending on size of material,dictated what size tip.
he showed me how to do it as a kid,and sometimes i still do when i'm too lazy to switch out tips and go to a cutting head No slag either..My favorite is the Smiths unitsmade in Minn.,op quality stuff

How do you know when to start 'cutting', ie moving the torch forward?
what do you look for as an indicator ? Thanks

@stillbashingmetal Before you press the lever to start cutting you are watching the metal under the flame. When it goes molten give the lever a little touch to start the cut. If the metal is hot enough all the way through it will cut through and blow out the bottom side. If the metal is not hot enough you will get a small divot in the metal and you have to heat it up some more. Once you get a hole through you just have to keep the metal in front of the torch hot enough to cut cleanly.

@kevincaron A.K.A. can't find a job, because your skills are inferior.
