Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cutting attachment and how does it differ from a full cutting torch?

A cutting attachment replaces the welding tip on a welding torch handle and adds the cutting oxygen valve and cutting tip, converting a welding torch into an oxyfuel cutting outfit without buying a separate cutting torch body. Attachments are more compact than dedicated cutting torches and are a practical choice if you already own a welding torch with the correct inlet connection. A dedicated cutting torch has a longer neck and body optimized for prolonged cutting work and is preferred for production cutting.

Are cutting attachments interchangeable between different torch brands and handle types?

Cutting attachments are generally brand- and model-specific. The attachment's inlet must match the welding torch body's outlet thread and size—Victor, Harris, Smith, and other brands use different proprietary threads. Before purchasing, verify the cutting attachment is specified for your exact torch handle model. The cutting tips themselves also vary by fuel gas type: acetylene, natural gas, and propane/propylene require different tip designs.

What cutting tip size should I use for cutting 1/4 in, 1/2 in, or 1 in steel plate?

For clean low-carbon steel, cutting tip selection is primarily driven by plate thickness. General guidance from AWS standards: use a 0.020–0.040 in (0.51–1.02 mm) cutting oxygen orifice for plate up to 1/8 in (3.2 mm) at 270–530 IPM (6.8–13.5 mm/s). For 1/4 in plate, a #1 or #2 tip is typical; 1/2 in requires a #2 or #3; 1 in plate typically calls for a #3 or #4. Always consult the tip manufacturer's chart for your specific tip number and gas pressure settings.

Can I use a cutting attachment with propane or natural gas instead of acetylene?

Yes, but you need cutting tips designed for the fuel gas you're using. Acetylene produces the highest flame temperature of the common fuel gases and requires the least preheat time. Propane and natural gas produce a softer flame and require higher fuel flow rates and longer preheat times, especially on material over 1 in thick. The cutting oxygen jet itself is not affected by the fuel type, but the preheat flame ports on the cutting tip are designed specifically for each fuel. Never use an acetylene-only tip with propane or natural gas.
