Is the cutting torch from harbor freight any good. And also do you guys use the part that keeps the flame from going back into the bottle? I have the bottles and new hoses but am having trouble with the torch
Try holding further away until your work warms up then move the torch closer... it sounds like you are rushing it.Tanks are full new hoses gauges are good. It goes out everytime I start to cut I have cleaned the torch very good but still pops and goes out. I also have my setting correct
what are the symptoms? Like what happens before it goes out? Is it doing it out of the blue? Randomly? Is there a pattern?I have been to school on using a cutting torch and have tried everything on the settings and it will not work, something is worn out or wrong with the torch.
How much acetylene, and what size tip?I get the torch set up to cut then as soon as I start the cut it pops and goes out. I have my oxygen pressure set at 25 psi
I had a set, they don't last very long maybe a year. Even with light use the torch started leaking and the hoses cracked. Spewing fire everywhere. Save your money and by a nice set.Is the cutting torch from harbor freight any good. And also do you guys use the part that keeps the flame from going back into the bottle?
