Question for work
« on: April 16, 2010 - 01:34:28 PM »
What do you call this? A torch, I know, but does this particular part have a name?

Thanks, Wade. I thought that was the case, but I wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the info, Neil. I thought it looked a little weird.

If anyone's wondering, this is for a safety training course. I'm doing a module on accident investigation, and given a choice between a machine shop and a laboratory as a setting, guess which one I chose.

Me neither Neil. Never seen knobs like that on a cutting torch  :sly:

It looks chrome-plated and very sanitary, like what you might find in a lab or medical application.
