Understanding Metal Cutting Techniques

What is essential to ensure safety while using an oxygen-acetylene torch?

• All of the above

• Wearing protective gloves

• Keeping the area clear of flammable materials

• Working in a well-ventilated area

What was the outcome of trying to cut stainless steel with the oxygen-acetylene torch?

• It was melted but not cut

• It was cut cleanly

• It was not cut at all

• It was partially cut

Which metal was successfully cut using the oxygen-acetylene torch?

• Aluminum

• Stainless Steel

• Copper

• Mild Steel

What is not required when using a plasma cutter compared to an oxygen-acetylene torch?

• Electricity

• Oxygen

• Protective gear

• Compressed air

What are the two things you need to check on a plasma cutter before starting?

• Temperature and humidity

• PSI and voltage

• Amperage and wavelength

• Fuel and oxygen levels

Which metals can the plasma cutter successfully cut through?

• Only aluminum and stainless steel

• Only mild steel

• Aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel

• Only copper and brass

What factors influence the amount of slag produced by plasma cutting?

• The type of metal being cut

• The speed of cutting

• Amperage and airflow

• The thickness of the metal

According to Rob, what is a significant advantage of using a plasma cutter?

• It produces no slag

• It's lightweight and versatile

• It can cut through any metal

• It's cheaper than an oxygen-acetylene torch
