Homemade Cutting Torch Guide Tool

Attachment 1101Attachment 1102Attachment 1100Attachment 1097Attachment 1098Attachment 1099 Hello, I would like to show you my homemade tool, the Torchtec Cutting Torch Guide. What started out as a class project at the local community college in the machine shop class became a small business. As a retired millwright I knew there was a need for a tool that could help people cut steel plate using Oxyacetylene or Plasma cutting torches that duplicated the precision of a track burner but, can fit in your hand. It starting with a 90 deg. Oxy cutting guide and evolved to include first a Oxy Bevel attachment, then a Plasma attachment. Can be seen and purchased at Torchtec Website, Torchtec, Cutting Torch Guide Tool See on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXr_9Tx6qp4

It ideas like this that stimulate others to think of uses they never would have thought of or solution to current problems they have, Did you melt the aluminum pieces you have pictures and cast them.
I'm starting to get into green sand casting and this looks like a great project. Pecos Kid!
