Abstract
A torch cutting tool has a clamp that is attached to a workpiece with the clamp having a rotating platform with an attached first latch member. A second latch member is attached to a track with a moveable carriage on which is mounted a positioning arm with a torch holder. After the clamp is attached to the workpiece, the second latch member is quickly latched to the first latch member to effect quick and simple setup. A cam follower, a second rotating platform, a second positioning arm, a covered track, a rotating base plate and metered fuel and oxygen supplies make the tool simple and easy to use.
