An oxy-acetylene cutting torch is a tool that uses a mixture of oxygen and acetylene gases to produce a high-temperature flame that can cut through metal. It is commonly used in metalworking, fabrication, and construction.
The oxy-acetylene cutting torch was invented in the late 19th century and quickly became an essential tool for metalworkers. It is still widely used today because it is relatively inexpensive, easy to use, and can cut through a variety of metals.
