Diesel D thanks for the support man 🤘🔥
@@dieseld4281 Thanks for watching.
Cool and very informative video!
Diesel D nice 👍
This is, by far, the best, most comprehensive Oxy-Acetylene torch tutorial I've seen! Thank you so much for all the effort that you all put into the video!
Thanks again,
Jon
Aaa
a
I totally agree 👍
I beg to differ
I cut and weld everyday at work and sometimes at home. Mostly 3/8" + thickness. I never even think about 90% of the stuff you describe. Thanks for the refresher course. Great video👍👍
DarkForce X glad we could help out.
God help us all we dont forget or we dont have coworkers that leave them on, god help us all that wont be me zombieing around forgetting shit open.
John Galvin for sure. We often forget the some basic shit
DarkForce X check out my TH-cam channel
Dont be that guy 😉
I was a farm boy welder/torch user who became a process engineer for 40 years. I always liked getting tips from my pipe fitters on welding and cutting. As I showed respect for their knowledge and skills, they always tolerated me watching them work. This presentation of proper torch use is right up there with the best tutorials I've ever seen. Outstanding job. As someone else commented: it must be THOSE guys who gave it downrates.
I've probably watched an hour of other torch videos and this one was, without a doubt, the most informative. I really respect the amount of pride you place in your career and it shows because of the amount of safety items you address. It was very "Mike Rowe"esk. We should always be as safe as we can be.
Like wise
This is absolutely one of the best tutorial videos I have ever watched. Great attention to details beginners (like me at 73) need. You ought to have, if you don't already, a cable TV show. Great teaching, not boring. things that a person who wants to learn will remember forever. Thumbs Up!!!
Honestly you are one heck of a teacher,I have never seen nobody and I mean nobody break it down so comprehensively this way,it is just like you opened my head and poured everything in there and what makes it more interesting is your sense of humour,along with your explanation you poured in some jokes,I just felt like the session does not come to an end. I want to really say a big thank you for this priceless job that you did here, you are such a wonderful person .
i have just purchased my first Oxy system. I have just spent the last few hours watching YT videos to see what to do and not to do. I will stop watching any more videos and just keep reviewing this on. The instructor does not just tell you what to not to do, but explains and shows. This is a great learning video.....My Emmy nomination
Been doing it wrong for 50 years, Thanks Kid!
most people have, kinda sad actually but eh
The respect for the rules, safety and the equipment, the way you teach and the knowledge you have about this stuff is out of this world. You, you're good, you! Respect
You're a great instructor Jason. I had a good welding instructor, so I knew *most* of this already, but you showed a few things I didn't know. Love the videos you guys make.
I just like this guy, the content was good, but the person showing it made it all the more enjoyable
That’s kinda gay, I like him too
brisson182 that’s a little gay, I think he’s alright.
As somebody who just acquired a cutting torch kit, this video is an awesome teaching aid so I don't accidentally "death" myself or someone else. I absolutely love the humor when teaching *serious* stuff. Thank you so much... greatly appreciated!
By far the best and most informative infomercial that I have ever seen. Thank you. The only two things I would add to this is one, no mention of a fire extinguisher close by, and two, make sure your pant legs are outside of your boots. I know this from personal experience. Thank you again
How have I never been told about the v-notch indicating reverse threads? Awesome video, thank you!
because it only turns up on gas fittings, not nuts and bolts
@@railgap its also used on the hot water line for a water cooled tig torch lol
@@railgap That's not entirely true, you'll see it on some other left handed hardware. But left handed hardware is rare.
We don't want little regulators running around the shop , it ain't good 😂😂
Aaron Galindo check out my TH-cam channel
literally deathed my co-workers and myself upon hearing this
If the little regulators are shielding gas compatible, they could come in handy
I've been using an oxy acetylene rig for 46 years! Welding, brazing, cutting, and heating with a rosebud... was amazed at what I learned from this video!
One of the most comprehensive tutorials I have seen in years. Weld-done, and thank you for helping out the newbies; from blowing someone up.
I have been using cutting torches for 30 years and you still taught me several things. Thank you. I will try not to be that guy anymore.
He got the fire triangle wrong, so with your experience in mind: I would split-the-difference.
Watched a lot of torch videos, you are the only one to show fuel off last, as I was told a long time ago. You are a very good educator (don't take that lightly), your students will appreciate your wisdom for years to come. Thanks for these tutorials and your time.
Thanks for the hose clamp tip. Will have to give that a try.
Rambozo Clown it works great.
“You don’t want to go through life with a dirty tip”. It’s great to see more of the welder’s humour in this video. This channel is usually a bit more “professional” than AvE, it I’m glad to see some jokes too. Great work folks!
a bit overplayed by the end imho.
Brand new working on welding and cutting (farm/ranch work). This is one of the most informative videos I've ever watched. I'll watch it several more times as I work on cutting. 'cause I do'nt want to be "that guy". Thank you very much Red Beard for being informative and educational !
Learn something everyday I have been told. I have been in the trade for many years and thought I would watch this video as a refresher. The part on rose buds was great! Did not know the volume of a acetylene cylinder played a part in the size of rose bud you can use. Thanks!
It's been literally decades since I did any cutting. This was a great refresher as the guy that taught me was definitely not "safety first" - he was an old school oilwell welder and lived on crappy cigars, bourbon and risk. Very well done video! Liked and subscribed.
By far the best video on beginning gas welding , cutting, that I’ve watched. Well done!!!
Lots of good stuff you covered. I’m certainly no expert and I learned stuff I did not know. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for explaining WHY on so many things, because it's easier for me to remember how something works than a procedure without context.
If you haven't been an instructor, you should consider it, because you absolutely nailed this. I expected to watch 10 minutes of mostly review when I had some downtime, and was glued to my screen to the end. I'm not a pro, but I have never seen anyone make such a clean cut with a torch.
I can help on the scarfing term a bit. In woodworking, a scarf is a long shallow bevel that can be used to join wood to make longer boards. The scarf tip looks like it was meant to cut long shallow bevels also.
after 5 or 10 videos yours is the best at showing and describing the appearance of a neutral flame. Thank you
Absolutely EXCELLENT instructional video on O/A. The best I've ever seen. You cover a lot of points that are lacking on other videos (and by other instructors). Thanks a million.
This was an awesome, enjoyable, informative tutorial. I ESPECIALLY appreciated the safety tips throughout and at the end.
Your an excellent speaker and instructor!!! You gave a very clear and concise presentation!! Great job!
Finally found someone that keeps me watching. Great tutorial and great tips for us beginners. Thank you
That was very good, by far the most thorough I have seen certainly on YT and even beats out the films we had in welding class.
I don't have much oxy acetylene experience and only use my torch set a couple times a year so I probably need to watch this video before each use.
Thanks for yet another helpful video.
Kevin Lee good luck man, stay safe.
I have been welding for nearly 40 years, some of that time professionally and I STILL learned something new today. Thank you and I am now a new Subscriber.
This is an amazing video, I mean this guy answered every question ever and also demonstrated each step, beautiful work.
Awesome video, super comprehensive and entertaining. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!
THAT was NOT a waste of time. You covered things I needed to know and wanted to know without wasting time. Last time I used a torch was in high school. Wanted to get familiar with whtat I needed to do to be able to use a torch again. Great presentation. Thank you!
One hell of an instructor, if you don't understand the procedures and the order in which to do them after watching this, you should not have a torch in your hand. Plain and simple.
If you sharpen your soap stone on both ends, don’t sharpen on the same side. Make them opposite. This way no matter how the soap stone lays flat on the table, you can pick it up easily with heavy gloves on by pressing down on one end and the other end will pop up so you can grab it.
Excellent detailed instructive tutorial, I was aware of the dissolved acetylene and upright usage. But the big new to me was the Venturi effect on nozzle blockage, brilliant.
Thanks for sharing.
Bosted Tap glad we could shed some light. Thanks for watching.
Same here. Thanks
Just saved me a lot of frustration and tip cleaning.....I would have never thought even if I knew that that you could actually pick up a dime!
wealth of good info here, been using a torch for years and I learned a bunch of things. all meat and potatoes, no fluff talk, worth every minute. Thanks for taking the time to do this, big help.
Thank you for being so detailed in your instructions. I’m moderately dyslexic so having as much info/details makes it easier for me to understand and follow instructions. I love your video. I’m now ready to cut metal with flame!
Amazing cutting video, been looking for one like this in the past weeks, jodi and bob taught me how to weld, and both made great oxy fuel videos. But this one hit everything in between, and all the specifics. Pun intended, Bob passed the torch to the right guys👍👍..also where can i get that chart card for oxy, also for mig/steel/ss?
0:13 You kill just one co-worker and the boss won't shut up about it.
Oh! And the paperwork!
Better off not killing anyone. Unless its the safety officer, that's different.
Funny
How does he know that the boss won’t shut up?!
Hmm
You've never worked with some of my coworkers. My boss would actually thank me if I did accidentally 😃 yeah.
Well done. “ Essential “ equipment mechanic sitting around the house quarantined to play it safe with the family. Combing the internet for informative videos work related. Nailed it. Oxygen lancing brought me here. Good stuff 👍🏻
I watched this video yesterday, woke up today, and BOOM, welding diploma was in my mailbox! LOL. Thanks for one of the best videos I have seen on the Tube. I don't even know how 45 mins went so fast. Great info, great presentation, and I chuckled quite a few times. And of course, I learned stuff. Awesome!
Thank you for sharing your expertise and all the details! God bless
Best of the best 50min class mannnn in few weeks I’m getting my diploma thas how you teach…. Explain knowledge THANK YOU 🙏
Did you get it
One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen....on ANYTHING. Great freaking job!
Wow, I love watching this. Probably the only video I've watched until the end (next to movies of course). Learned a lot. Great content, thanks! ✨
Thank you for having this talk. I just got my torch set. Helped me out big time.
My bottles are about 30 years old do they have an expiration date
Joe Briggs glad we could help out.
Mike Painter they are supposed to be hydrostatic tested every 10 years so I’d say you’re a little overdue man.
@@mrpaint055 If they're 30 years old and your guy just refills them without checking, he ain't doing his job. consumer propane bottles need to be inspected a minimum of 10 years after manufacture, and I doubt industrial/commercial equipment would be less stringent.
That trick using the hose clamp is a great idea. I made a couple burn bars a while ago after watching Bob do a video but while that has helped me cutting straight it doesn't help me keep the tip the proper distance from the work piece. Thanks for the video and suggestions.
I started watching because of Bob but this guy is winning me over.
Masterpartyman thanks for the support man. Bob will be back soon.
Not because of Mr.TIG? LOL Dab. Dab. Dab. Dab. Dab. These guy's are so much enjoyable!
Tons of great info! Diesel mechanic here so I don’t use the torch too much, but it’s always been a grey area for me when I do. Used some of this info recently and it made my cuts so much better!
Very thorough, hoods off to ya!
Gary Papesh thank you Sir
Jason, you hit the ball out of the stadium with this one!!! I have watched many how to oxy/fuel films/videos ( that's how old I am) and your info is spot on, and you addressed the myths and misinformation....thank you so much... I think this should be shown in all Welding classes....was it long? Yes, but the info is there....and very clear. PS, I did hear a few minor terminology flubs, but nothing to change contents.... well done, from an old geezer and admirer of Weld.com...PB
Paul Brown thanks Paul. I appreciate your feedback and continued support of the channel.
You boys are so good at teaching! Best tutors ever!
Dude, you are a great teacher. Funny as I can stand. Great video.
V notches! Never knew about that identification
Excellent video. I work for one of the major players in the industry and am always afraid of what people get into without proper education. This is well presented and full of solid information. 45 minutes well spent
It is important to watch and learn from guys that indeed teach.There is one thing to know stuff ,completely different to put it into people's brains.Appreciation is given ,thanks guys
That was definitely a 45 min. seminar for Oxy-Acetylene thanks very much for all the informations included to this video, then watch again and again before use it, for a beginner. thanks dude
"Dont Go Thru Life With A Dirty Tip"
Don't stick your dirty tip in someone's dirty orifice either.
So clean just the tip?
@@lincolnworsham1085 That's what she said.
"it's welder proof"
That was pure gold.
Great video. Best I've seen yet on cutting and heating. Keep it up and keep your tip clean.
Red Beard dude you rocked on this instructional video. you were to the point. there was never any question on anything you were talking about and you had the kind of work attitude that people need to have on a daily basis at work along with some humor to make the day go by quicker thank you brother for the lesson
the 17 dislikes are "that guy" who got called out and thinks there's a difference between which bottle you turn off first. lol
Shut the fuel off first to keep a back burn from happening inside of the torch or hose
My dad always taught me oxygen first. Probably because it comes out a lot faster.
“A” before “O” or up you go
I have taken a couple welding classes and we turn the fuel on 1st. light up. turn gas up or down till you get a nice clean flame. Then turn on oxygen till you get a nice small ideal flame for welding. When shutting down you reverse this operation. Oxygen off 1st and gas off last. This man did it perfectly as I been taught on day one how to weld with a torch. I absolutely love gas welding! One of my favorites for damn sure! been taught. After you turn the gas off it doesn't hurt to check or listen to any leaks in your tips.
www.harrisproductsgroup.com/en/blog/2019/may/working-with-torches.aspx
@@sheilamclaughlin963 Jude Davis Sheila you are 100% right, flame goes out instantly fuel is shut off first.
I recently ruined an acetylene regulator and thought it was either old age or bad gas. Now I know it was because I was on a roof and the bottle was on it's side so it couldn't fall over. I frequently lay them down and wedge them against a pipe stack so they can't roll off the roof since the roof is usually 3/12 or more pitch and a cart isn't going to work. Very informative video.
You’d be surprised all the sketchy shit you see out in the field.
@Wroger Wroger HVAC contractor 20+ years. Took all applicable classes/courses in our trade and none of our training ever mentioned 95% of what is in this video.
Excellent video and a great refresher of all the stuff I once knew but probably forgot. Thanks!
You sir will be one of THOSE Instructors. The best of the best that everyone wants to learn from, and rightly so. I’m going to show my 15 yo son this, just to give me a little better piece of mind, when he just wants to go hang out in the shop.
11:55 goddamnit Joe, we all blew up because you went to the bathroom with the damn wrench! This part made me stop the video just so I could go laugh and show my dad this part.
3:13 😂😂 can’t be having little regulators running around
My son is getting ready to take courses in welding for the first time in his life. Your videos made everything easy to understand and you covered everything from setup, safety, OSHA to breakdown.
Had no idea how many times I had put my life at risk! This is the information that I have been searching for and never had anyone around who understood it any better then I did. Thank you so much for the video. Can you download a version of the chart you were using? Where would I find one? Thanks again.
Found charts for my Victor torch by googling "victor acetylene torch chart" and then clicking on Images. Hope that helps.
When you said use the appropriate igniter a cigarette immediately jumped to mind cuz way back in the day my shop teacher told us all that if we decide to be welders we might want to take up smoking cuz it will come in handy lmao 😂
Awesome refresher. You go through everything 100% and explain why and the occasional funnies makes the video's watchable to the end. Awesome work, love your video's.
THANK YOU!!! cut with intent, free choice, mastery. THANK YOU!!!
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE!!
Just plain great education. Hope You stay on Weld.com but we also miss Bob. Regards to all of you.
How I was trained to use a cutting torch: Boss: "Here, fire this puppy up and cut those cables." Co-worker who wanted to go home in one piece that day: "Hey! Here's how to use a torch......" I wish we had videos like this back in the day!
There has been those vids for the last 25 yrs
That's how a lot of people are trained.... "Do this". Usually because the boss doesn't know the right way either.
I worked all my life in workshop but never knew some tips you explained. Thanks man. God bless you.
For being a 45 minute long video just about oxy cutting Basics I have to say this kept me engaged the entire time and did not drag on in any way by the best video on the subject I've seen today to be honest keep up the good work
I was taught A before O or up you go
Connor linchet same I was looking for a comment about this because I was taught the same thing as you. He said O before A. Does anyone know for sure what is safer.
@@williamherd2575 same here, i was told O last on shut down to blow out all the A....was going to comment but thought maybe there was a better reason
William Herd i was told the same thing
Flashbacks are almost always caused by the gas with more pressure going into the lower pressure line I.E. Oxygen into Acetelyne, because 9/10 times, it has the higher psi setting at the regulator.
These steps should be code or made into OSHA S.O.P.
@@MR-nl8xr They are, technically. OSHA requires following the manufacturer's operating and safety instructions. I know for a fact that Victor, Harris, and Flametech all clearly state O before A in the manual.
I've never seen a scarfing tip pretty kool
Rafael Sanchez they’re very handy for cutting out bad welds or making flush cuts.
Thanks Red Beard! Well done. I was particularly proud of the shoutout to Bob Moffatt. Super informative and entertaining. Great content!
Red Beard and the rest of the team FTW!
What an amazing guide you guys produced here!
love me some oxy-fuel cutting
Dang I wish I saw this video 6 years ago. Why do I have to learn everything the hard way!?
Me too
Great Job and Explained Thoroughly, Thanks!
Very nice tutorial, beard guy has a natural ability to explain things equally to an experienced welder or to someone that has never held a torch before. Thanks folks!
You pointed out the importance of the check valves but, should every Oxy/Acetylene set up also have flash arrestors?
flash arrestors and check valves both.
I like having one of those black torch wrenches with my tools as a backup, but I wouldn't use it unless I had to.
Me too
Proteus, I have one that’s made by Airco that I think is cast iron. It’s not stamped steel, it’s not to bad to use, it fits pretty good. But I still like an open end wrench the best.
Best video on oxy-fuel cutting yet. Great job!
Great video Jason !!!!! Even Mancub had the "deer in the headlight look" watching you give instructions on Oxy-Acetylene.
B Jenkins thanks man. He’s shown me some cool stuff too.
"You need 3 things for a fire. heat, friction and a fuel source". I think you meant to say "Heat, Fuel, and oxygen". The lubricant being a fuel, and friction being the heat.. oxygen is self explanatory, you're breathing it. Lol
You saved me a comment rant.
Take my like.
It’s now been enlarged from the fire triangle to the fire square ... mental
interesting, i didn't know that there's a vacuum effect happening at the tip, tips can be damaged pretty easily , would you agree that one should be using a dabbing motion instead of getting in there in a speedy saw maner with the tip cleaners ? good that i see you shut of the the oxy first and then acyetlene , uv/ ir is produced from oxy cutting, this is why it's important to wear shaded glasses , it may even be important to even where a full shaded face shield depending on the work being done. also good to see you back off the pressure screws and bleeding the lines, i think if you don't back of the pressure you can ruin the regulator and from time to time you'll see a regulator that doesn't display correctly .
It's all infrared being produced when cutting which is only harmful to your eyes... same with plasma cutting I believe.
I bought a used Smith torch set up from a farm auction this weekend. Thanks for the info in your video. I enjoyed the science information and humor you used to present the beginner information.
You're a gold mine of information and very well spoken, Thank you
Heat, oxygen, fuel source
Chris Richards well at least he got two of the three
