- For slightly larger gauge,
- preheat with a regular flame,
- then turn off the acetylene to
- burn a cut with pure oxygen.
- Sometimes you have to relight
- the flame with acetylene to
- continue the cut. Using this
- technique, the only pre-heating
- comes from the burning of steel
- itself.

- You can cut non-ferrous
- metals with a cutting torch
- also, but you will not have the
- burning effect. To cut brass
- or aluminum, use the pre-heating
- flames to melt the metal, then
- momentarily blast away the
- liquid with cold oxygen. This
- technique is slower because you
- can cut only 1/4" at a time.
