Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Holding the torch at a right angle or pointed slightly away from the edge allows for a cleaner and more controlled cut to begin. Holding the torch at a 45 degree angle or pointed toward the edge can lead to a rougher start and potential damage to the plate. Holding the torch at a 10 degree angle pointed away from the edge is not a recommended technique for starting a cut.
