Kakkar Gas Cutting Torch (Gas Cutter) Manual cutting operations can be used when there is no power source or in locations where an electric arc might pose a problem. Also, the cutting torch and its equipment are less expensive than cutting equipment for arc methods. Oxy-fuel gas cutting takes longer than plasma and arc cutting, but it has some advantages. Manual cutting torches are still widely used because they are inexpensive and can do jobs that other processes cannot do easily.
