Cutting Thick Steel: What Actually Changes When the Plate Gets Massive

In this episode, host Beau Wigington chats with Chuck Faught from Flametech Scorpion about what it really takes to cut thick metal with oxy-fuel equipment. Using Chuck’s flame-covered torch throne as the backdrop, they break down the differences between torch styles, how oxygen flow affects cutting capacity, when to use long torches, and why fuel gas choice matters more than most people think. They also get into flashback arrestors, hose restrictions, and safety considerations that can directly affect cut quality in the field.
