Welcome from Mesa az. It's not cost effective to use a cutting torch on a small scale. I build hot rods and other stuff from steel. The last time I filled my large oxygen tank it cost $40 bucks. If cutting a lot with the gas wrench the tank does not last very long. That expense makes less profit. For me if it cannot be unbolted or cut off with a grinder or sawzall I pass on it.

But then they kind of left it at that. Im wondering if anyone can really expand on what this person might have meant by making the most money on steel by using a torch? All I can imagine is that they were alluding to taking the most valuable parts to sell off of a scrap vehicles or machinery in minimal time with a torch instead of wrenching things off? Im not sure really. Thanks.
