F. BEVEL CUTTING
In this series of sketches a 3-inch (76.2mm)
carbon steel plate was beveled to show what
can happen when proper and improper
techniques are used in Bevel Cutting. More
preheat is required for beveling than for vertical
cutting. That’s because the angle of the tip to
the plate surface causes the heat to bounce
off. When selecting a tip for Bevel Cutting,
the depth of the cut rather than just the plate
thickness should be considered.
The PAN-1000 Panograph Torch Floater is
recommended for bevel cutting on both “flat”
and “wavy” material. The Panograph Torch
Floater maintains constant nozzle-to-work
distance which assures a uniform bevel!
