Was in a rush and had to cut circles in 1/4 steel, my circle cutter for o/a torches was for 90 degrees angle torch, my plasma has an angled torch... So i ended up with this and it worked to my expectations, i think i will keep it Comments and suggestions welcomed, there's always place for improvements. Attached Images
Reply:Nifty! I'll just suggest that the torch head doesn't need to be fixed in the collet; it can be allowed to rotate.In other words, the torch handle doesn't need to be fixed to the radius arm, just the tip needs to remain centered in the collet. Having the torch handle not anchored to the arm may make it easier to negotiate the torch and/or cable, especially in tight quarters. In fact, if the centering spindle is low enough, the torch handle can pass over it during a cut.Does that make sense? Picture how a locomotive's connecting rod (the torch) passes in a circle above the drive wheel.Good LuckLast edited by denrep; 11-02-2013 at 09:47 PM.
Reply:Thank-you denrep & tackit for your comments and suggestions, history repeats itself, as soon something is done something better pops up...;o)But ...i might add that the fine cicrle cutters you suggested are for drag tips wich i don't have...(are they recommended for 1/4 inch steel???) anyhow they are much faster than mine to install and setup,and for this price who can live without it ... it's just the fact that i will not see where i cut, maybe i need more practice to cut without seeing the arc. if you tell me i can pierce thru 1/4 and cut with a drag tip inside this type of circle cutter it will change the whole picture big time ;-)
