I am interested in teaching myself how to weld with gas. O2 Accetiline, not MIG gas.
I have a mig welder that I am sort of competent with. Is there benefit to welding with gas over MIG, or am I going to find that if I buy the tank set up, I'll never use it over MIG. Zach |

What does the edge of metal cut with a torch look like? Can you make precision cuts, or is it more of a ragged edge type deal? I am going to have to cut 1/4 inch steel for my truck, and I am thinking about different ways to do it, that do not involve buying a plasma cutter. Zach A torch cut on 1/4" can be very clean and straight, on one side (the off side will have crud on it), but you need to be pretty good to do that, and you'll still want to touch it up with a sander. Make sure you have the right size and a very clean tip, plus you'll need the right gas ratio, your torch at the right angle, and need to move at the right speed. Takes alot of practice or you'll end up with a jagged cut. |
