Cutting metal with an oxyacetylene torch takes some care and attention, but once you are cutting the process is easy and rewarding. Gas cutting torches use the combustion of acetylene to jump-start the melting of metal. Oxygen is then introduced in a pressurized jet that acts to combust the steel, melting and cutting it easily. Because of the volatile nature of the gases used, safety is of high concern when using a gas cutting torch.
