For a long time, I despaired of making good cuts with the torch, then, I read in a training manual about different tips. I now have the right tips. But, now, there's a couple of problems.
I'll be cutting along, just fine, and, all of a sudden, I get a crater, and a blob of slag, and have to restart the cut. What's wrong? 1/4" steel. #0 tip. 5 lbs acet, and 20 of oxy. All the rest of the cut is wonderfully smooth. Just this one place is a blob.
Sometimes, I get a popping noise in the torch, and I'm not cutting or adjusting. It just pops. What causes that? Same settings.
