Abstract
A cutting torch guide assembly for cutting beveled openings includes a first rod that is hollow. A first sleeve is positioned around and slidably positionable on the first rod. A pin is coupled to and extends perpendicularly from the first sleeve. The pin is configured to couple to a metal substrate to define an axis of a penetration that is to be cut into the metal substrate. A second rod is positioned in and selectively extensible from the first rod. The first sleeve is positionable to select a diameter of the penetration on an opposing side of the metal substrate. The second rod is positionable relative to the first rod to select a thickness of the metal substrate. A ring coupled to the second rod is configured to insert a nozzle of a cutting torch so that the nozzle is positioned to cut a beveled penetration into the substrate.
