Ok...expressing my ignorance...lol.
I have an almost new propane/oxygen cutting torch (Victor). Every time I use it (which is seldom) I seem to have trouble adjusting my valves on torch unit. My pressure adjustments at my 2 tanks ARE correctly made.
With the 3 valves on torch, Red: Propane, Green: Oxygen, and the round knob near the lever for extra oxygen to "blow" the melted slag away.
I must be doing something wrong... I light the propane first, then turn on the oxygen knob next to the propane knob to add O2 to get about a 1/4" blue flame next to tip...
Frequently, I'll get a "flameout", especially if there is a little bit of wind blowing. Never seem to adjust the round knob next to the Oxygen lever correctly.
Will appreciate a "by the numbers" instruction on how to do it right!
Thanks for any help y'all![/u]
