This document provides instructions for different metal cutting and welding techniques. It discusses plasma cutting systems used to cut stainless steel components rapidly. It also outlines the steps for plasma cutting, including wearing safety equipment, clamping the positive clamp to the metal work, and touching the electrode tip to the metal while aiming the handle away. Finally, it briefly mentions TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding and grinding metal surfaces before welding.

14. Plasma Cutting System & Air Compressor
A working knowledge of metal cutting
systems will greatly improve the ability to
cut many stainless components rapidly.

15. Wear safety equipment, & Welding
helmet.
Clamp positive clamp to metal work.
Touch the tip connecting the electrode
and aim the handle away from you.

16. The tip &
electrode touch
the metal & the
ionized gas is
heated to
plasma and the
pressure from
the compressor
pushes the
plasma through
the work.

17. Excellent Drilling Dude!

18. Grind away & shape flat surfaces,
edges & welding bevels.

19. Bevel stainless
steel edge
before
connecting
with TIG
Welding.

20. TIG:
Tungsten
Inert
Gas
Just a few
Highlights

24. Molten Stainless joins the metal at
the molecular level.
