How to get a neutral flame on a gas welder video

This is a short video to be used as a quick reference for getting a gas welding torch to a neutral flame and the safe bleed out procedure.  This video is meant to be a quick reference for starting a torch after watching the longer gas welding safety and set up video.  Remember A before O or up you go!


The 5 PSI for the oxygen and acetylene regulators will work for most gas welding tips as the actual rule is 1 psi plus the number on the welding tip.  If you have a larger welding tip you will need to adjust accordingly.  Cutting torches are set up different, look for a complete video on cutting torches soon.
