Cutting and piercing method
•
Cut in from the end of steel plate.
•
Pierce steel plate before cutting.
•
Drill a hole before cutting.
Piercing method
1 Ignite and adjust the flame.
2 Thoroughly preheat the cut-in point until it is white hot.
3 Open the jet oxygen valve to pierce the steel plate. The tip should be
about 15 - 20 mm from the plate to prevent slag from splashing onto
the tip and adhering there, which will shorten the working life of the
tip.
