Well said! And it makes a huge difference in flame size/heat. Last week I had to buy a 0-4-101 tip to cut 3.5" round stock (center drive shaft) in an Acme Gridley screw machine I was scrapping out for a client. the 0-3 simply didnt have enough oomph to sever the bar in tight places inside the machine. the bar was crusty/rusty/covered in dried cutting oils and chips. The 0-3 would sorta kinda gash the bar, with melted spooge refilling the cut as I went along. Was taking freaking forever. I went down, spent $16.75 on a 0-4..and cleanly severed the bar in about 10 seconds (x 6) and had the bar out of the machine in just a few minutes as opposed to ****ing around for 45 minutes and getting no where. A 0-3 is a good general all around tip for a 101 torch...but get the cut thickness over 1 3/4" in thickness..time to get a bigger tip. Yes..it can be done on flat stock laid in an easy to cut locale...but hanging from your ankles and turned sideways pressed into a small opening...get a bigger tip.
