14. Use the bevel compensation cut charts to
find the correct edge offset value to use
for the torch clearance. Clearance is the
distance between the torch and the top of
the workpiece.
15. Put the torch clearance gauge in the
correct position, as follows:
a. Loosen the set screw
b. Align the inside of the torch clearance
gauge with the correct position on the
ruler. Move the gauge higher or lower
on the guide, as necessary. The
position to use on the ruler is the edge
offset value from
c. For example, in the picture shown
the torch clearance gauge is set to an
edge offset of 1.5 inches.
d. When the torch clearance gauge is in
the correct position, tighten the set
screw.
16. Move the torch closer to the torch
clearance gauge, as follows:
a. Move the torch horizontally, as
necessary. Use the horizontal racker control knob or equivalent control on your tractor.
b. Move the torch vertically, as necessary. Loosen the knobs on the torch holder. Move the
torch closer to the torch clearance gauge and tighten the knobs.
c. If there is a torch height control knob or similar mechanism, use that to move the torch in
very small increments, as necessary. Adjust the torch height until the torch consumables
touch the torch clearance gauge.
d. Make sure that the tip of the torch is touching the torch clearance gauge and is
approximately perpendicular to the gauge, as shown.
