A Comprehensive Guide to Oxy-Acetylene Cutting and Welding

 For professionals working in field operations, reliable metal-cutting systems are indispensable tools. Considered one of the more versatile for metalworking, the oxy-acetylene cutting and welding system has its roots far back in the early 1900s. The technology involves mixing oxygen and acetylene gases to produce a flame, sometimes exceeding temperatures of 3,000°C. This flame is as effective for cutting metals with remarkable precision as it is for joining metal pieces with strong, durable welds. While there have been various developments in welding technology over the years, cutting and welding equipment using oxy-acetylene gas is still popular in many workshops, construction sites, and industrial plants due to its portability, reliability, and versatility.

Everything You Need to Know About Welding C-Clamps

 Sparks and fumes may be quite synonymous with welding, however, not everything about welding has to do with heat and blinding light.

They are used to secure the workpieces you're working on so that the end result isn't a mish-mash of weld beads.


Although welding clamps do the same exact thing as any other type of clamp, they are not made the same and certainly don't come in the same size or shape as clamps used in different industries. Welding clamps can also be used to ground the workpiece you're working on unless it's made of wood or plastic, but these are different from the clamps used to keep metal pieces in place.
