    Gas Cutting Machines FAQs

    Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and using gas cutting machines.

    Why use a gas cutting machine rather than cutting by hand?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A machine carries the torch at a steady speed along a set path, so the cut is straighter, smoother and more consistent than one made by hand. It also takes the strain and the heat off the operator and gives repeatable results across many cuts, which means less grinding and rework on the edges.

    Hand cutting is still quick for one-off, rough or awkward cuts. But when you need long straight edges, bevels, repeated accurate cuts in plate, or clean square cuts on pipe, a machine gives a much better and more consistent result.

    What types of gas cutting machine are there?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    The common portable types are the straight-line carriage that runs along a track and cuts straight lines, often with the option of a bevel, and the pipe cutting machine that is driven round the pipe on a chain or band. Larger machines cut shapes and profiles under a numerical or optical control and can carry more than one torch.

    For most workshops and sites a portable track machine is the starting point. Choose by what you cut most: plate, pipe or shapes.

    How do I set up for a straight cut?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Mark the cut line, then lay the track alongside it, parallel and in contact with the plate, and set the torch height and position so that the flame follows the line. Make sure the track is straight, clean and secure and cannot shift during the cut, and that the plate is flat and supported so the offcut cannot pinch or fall away unexpectedly.

    Check that the torch is square to the plate, or at the angle you want for a bevel, and support the hoses so they do not pull the carriage off line. Run the machine without the flame first to check that it travels the whole length of the cut freely.

    How do I set the travel speed?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Speed depends on the thickness of the steel, the fuel gas and the nozzle, so start from the nozzle maker's cutting chart and adjust from there with a test cut on scrap. Thin plate is cut faster than thick.

    If you go too fast, the cut lags behind the torch, leaves drag lines and may not cut through. If you go too slow, the cut widens, the top edge melts and slag builds up. The right speed gives a clean edge with fine, even drag lines and slag that falls away easily.
