  • Page 19: Torch Part Configuration

    OPERATION TORCH PART CONFIGURATIONS There are different torch configurations depending on the cutting or gouging application. Standard Cutting Setup: In the Standard Cutting configuration the nozzle is designed not to touch the work piece. The advantage of this cutting method is good visibility of the arc. However it requires a steady hand to avoid touching the nozzle to the work piece which will cause prema- ture nozzle wear and a jagged cut.
