How to build a Radial Arm Flame Cutter
by Richard B Walker
Booklet
ISBN#0-9615182-0-0
copyright©1985
   

First off this came as a package deal with a copy of the latest slim volumes from the expo. This may be a problem finding. As it is a self published booklet/plans to build this tool.
Being done in 1985,and all. The author was located in Irvine California, were he had a shop. He may be known to some on this forum.

    * Introduction
    * Plans
    * Track Assembly
    * Carriage
    * Torch Clamp
    * Elevation Shaft Swivel Clamp
    * Mast and Arm
    * Mast Mounting Base
    * Setup and Operation


20 pages of instructions, drawings and photos. Covers building it,setting it up and using it booth for straight cuts and radial cuts.
Today it is sort of pushed to the back with plasma cutters but was an interesting concept and very clean and simple of design and build . Not to mention the operation.

I understand Lindsay sold this at one time.

Raise the Dead!
        Walk on water!
                 Fix a broken heart!
and I'm working on the first two!
