Can Bernzomatic Cut Metal

With the flame concentrated in a recessed hole in the block, it created an oven of incredible heat, liquefying the metal in seconds. The Bernzomatic Cutting, Welding, and Brazing Torch Kit really is a cool tool. I pushed it hard on my first foray, not only cutting, but cutting a really thick piece of metal.

What burns hotter oxygen or MAPP gas?

In fact, the oxyacetylene combination produces hotter flames than any other gas combinations. Adding pure oxygen to the flame increases the performance of acetylene by more than 1000 degrees Fahrenheit (538 degrees Celsius), and that of MAPP gas by more than 1500 degrees Fahrenheit [source: Bernzomatic].

Do you turn off the oxygen or acetylene first?

We recommend closing the oxygen valve first whenever turning off an oxy-fuel torch system especially when Acetylene is fuel.
