[TheForge] Torch cutting tip

[Woolley]

Lynn,

Victor makes great burning outfits. I trust this manufacturer when they 
recommend tip size and gauge setting combinations for various plate 
thicknesses etc.  I would start with their settings and then make 
adjustments as you gain experience.  IMHO #1 is too big for sheet metal, 
I would try the 000 and go from there. Btw what gauge sheet are we 
talking about, 20, 18, 26? How much cutting are you doing?  I often cut 
sheet with an angle grinder and wafer wheel.

Regards,
Bill Woolley
