This guide provides an extensive overview of cutting processes, including oxy-fuel and plasma arc cutting. It explains cylinder handling, regulator setup, hose identification, torch lighting, flame types, and cutting techniques for steel and other metals. Safety procedures, such as eye protection, flashback prevention, cylinder storage, and proper shutdown, are emphasized. The guide also details beveling techniques —hand, automatic, and mechanical methods —tip selection, kerf management, and quality assessment of cuts. Additionally, it covers plasma arc fundamentals, torch components, power source characteristics, and heat management for efficient, accurate, and safe cutting operations.
