Honestly, I was cutting boiler tube wrong for a decade until a foreman in Toledo watched me and just said 'your angle's off by 5 degrees'.

Ngl, I was getting inconsistent bevels and couldn't figure out why. Anyone else have a simple trick for setting up a perfect cut every time?

Man, I just started using a speed square as a guide and it changed everything.

Funny how that works, but honestly I've never trusted a single jig or guide. You just have to get a feel for the torch in your hands after a while.

That's the thing about "simple tricks," they're usually just the right piece of common sense we've been overcomplicating for years.
