  • Patent number: 4101240
    Abstract: A refacing tool by which the spaced seating surfaces of an oxy-acetylene cutting torch nozzle can be refaced. The tool includes a main body member from which there extends a plurality of support members. The support members are affixed to the main body and are radially spaced from one another and support a guide member. The support members each have cutting means thereon for simultaneously engaging the spaced seating surfaces of the nozzle. The guide member slidably receives the nozzle therethrough. In one embodiment of the invention, a second guide member is supported by a mid-portion of the support members and telescopingly receives a marginal end portion of the nozzle therewithin. The refacing tool restores the seating surfaces of the torch nozzle and represents a considerable savings to the welding industry which heretofore was not realized.
