View Full Version : Need to rig a turntable to cut doughnuts...
...I need a fixture to hold my O/A torch and something to hold 1/4" plate so that I can rotate the steel to cut 6"-8" diameter circles. Has anyone already done this and if so, do you have any pictures of how you did it?

Actually, the normal thing to do is to use a circle cutting fixture for the torch. It allows the torch to rotate around a point.
Here's a circle cutter on Miller's website. This one is for a plasma cutter, but the concept is the same.

I made my own, but I don't seem to have any pics handy here at work.

Some times the reverse becomes the norm.;)
