PSA: I was using the wrong torch tip for years on 1/2 inch plate
I was cutting some 1/2 inch plate for a pressure vessel last week, and my cut was just awful, all jagged and slow. My foreman, Mike, walked by and asked why I was using a number 3 tip. He said for that thickness, a number 5 gives a much cleaner, hotter cut. I switched and it was like night and day. Has anyone else had a simple tip change make that big a difference?

Remember my buddy who kept burning through thinner sheet metal?
