    Not a job for the mini shop.... The sink is too small.....
    Nice You have gear for more heavy works.

      Mini shop it would be tuff, probably burn myself down if it wasn't a 20x20:) all the tooling I have bought second hand or got broken stuff and fixed it up over the last 25 years :)

      @@Wrighmachining Well done building up the shop that way. Guess it's the only resonable way. A retired Swede just won 3 miljon USD in a lottery... Don't think she will go for this kind of shop...
      My shop sits in the kitchen..... The basic mini machines have been bought new during 3 - 4 years... A minor difference....

    I'd say dirty tip, but man that cuts clean very nice...

      It cut really nice with ⅛ kerf over the whole 2 inches. I cleaned the tip and turned down the pressure a bit and it seemed to work better.

    Nice piece of plate there. You need one of those lifting magnets.

      Yes, that is absolutely right. I also later changed the hight and saw a bit of improvement in addition to the two suggested :)

    Good job. Try bringing the torch tip a bit higher. Looked like the metal was melting on the edges of the cut.

    • @Wrighmachining
      @Wrighmachining  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Danny, the metal melting on the top. Is that a sign of it being to low? Along with the popping

      @@Wrighmachining Yes Sir I think that is what it looks like to me... I welded for a living back in the 70's and 80's. So long ago that I forgot many things about cutting. But the torch and flame being to close to the metal will melt the metal on both sides of the cut. I couldn't tell how you had your oxygen and acetylene mixture but I see lots of videos where the settings are way off. When everything is set right, there will be no slag and if there is a little bit, it should knock off with minimal effort. And the cut will look almost like a band saw cut it...

      @@dannywilsher4165 really appreciate the input there was a fair amount of slag that knocked off easy on the popping cuts then towards the end there was way less. I will play with the heights for sure next time. huge thanks for your input 😎
