What is a gas metal forge
A gas metal forge is a type of portable welding equipment that uses high-pressure air and oxygen to produce a flame. This allows for very quick heating times and more precise work on smaller objects. These units are primarily used for welding, especially steel, but they can also be used for other applications such as brazing, soldering and heat-treating
How does it work
A gas metal forge consists of a cylinder that holds either compressed air or oxygen, along with an anvil, torch and spark wheel assembly. The cylinder contains an internal reservoir with enough pressure to deliver gaseous fuel to the torch during operation. This means that no external tank is required, making them easier to transport than larger models
The anvil is used by placing it on top of the workpiece being welded and then pressing down on it with your hand or foot while holding down the trigger switch on the handle of your unit. This produces sparks that arc across the surface of your workpiece
