Equipment:

There are two fundamental types of OFC equipment: machine and manual. The manual equipment is utilized primarily for maintenance, for scrap cutting, cutting risers off castings, and other operations that do not need a high degree of accuracy or a high quality cut surface. Machine cutting equipment is utilized for accurate, high quality work, and for great volume cutting, such like in steel fabricating shops. Both types of equipment operate on the similar principle.

No one must attempt to operate any oxyfuel apparatus until trained in its correct use or under competent supervision. It is significant to follow closely the manufacturer's recommendations and operating instructions for secure use.
