Abstract: An apparatus for attachment to a conventional welding torch which provides a support for the welding torch tip which is to be used in conjunction with a template for making smoothly contoured cuts within a workpiece. The apparatus includes a collar which is to be fixedly securable onto the tip of the welding torch. The collar is pivotally and lineally movable in respect to a plate. A fastener assembly is utilized which secures in position the collar onto the tip of the welding torch and also tightens the collar onto the plate. The lower edge of the plate terminates in a smoothly contoured guide flange which is to rest upon and slide on the upper surface of a template. Attached to the plate and extending outwardly past the guide flange is a pin. The pin is to abut against the side edge of the template.
