oxy fuel burning machine operator
Oxy fuel burning machine operators set up and tend machines designed to cut, or rather burn off, excess material from the metal workpiece using a torch that heats the metal workpiece to its kindling temperature and subsequently burns it into a metal oxide upon its reaction with an emitted stream of oxygen, flowing out of the workpiece's created kerf as slag.
Also called: oxy-fuel cutting machine operator, oxy fuel cutting machine technician, cutting torch operator, oxy-fuel cutting machine technician, oxy-fuel burning machine technician, oxy-fuel burning machine operator, oxy-fuel burning machine operative, oxy fuel cutting machine operator
