<DIV>Oxweld torch... surprised me this evening I pulled the tip and it’s a 1”
tip... so now I’m thinking I’ve got a problem with mix... haven’t
used ox/act in a long time... and never on 3/4... most of my stuff is no more
than 1/4 and smaller and I use a metabo grinder with a cutoff wheel 90% of the
time. I’m gonna use your suggestions and try cutting again
tomorrow. I’m using a 40/4 psi ox/act ... might inch that up a
little.. hate to admit it’s probably a technique problem.</DIV>

clean your tip really well and have good flame shape. Then make sure you
have enough oxygen pressure and a good neutral flame when the trigger is
pulled. Make sure you have enough preheat and a slow enough rate of
advance. If that doesn't work then go up at least one size, maybe
two. 3/4" is pretty stout. What brand of torch are you using?

<DIV>usually my torch cutting is on 1/4” or less plate and my torch handles it
fine</DIV>

<DIV>got a piece of 3/4” steel plate I need to cut and my torch isn’t cutting
clean or cutting completely through...</DIV>

<DIV>I think probably I need a larger tip.. think mine is a “0” or a
“1”... or course you need to factor in the operator...</DIV>

<DIV>do you think that’s my problem ??? what tip size would you
recommend</DIV>
