Circle Cutting Guide for Plasma Torches
The Miller-Smith Equipment 16229 is an adjustable circle cutting guide built for plasma cutting torches that accept SC and MC style cutting tips. It lets operators produce repeatable circular cuts on plate steel, sheet metal and pipe without a dedicated CNC table. Fabrication shops, maintenance crews and field welders who need quick, accurate holes on site will find it a practical addition to a hand-torch kit.
Diameter Range and Tip Compatibility
The guide adjusts to cut holes from a minimum of 5/8 in up to a maximum of 12 in, covering the most common pipe-flange and access-hole sizes encountered in structural and pipe work. It locks onto SC and MC style cutting tips only; torches using other tip geometries will not mount securely. No finer micro-adjustment or digital readout is provided, so final diameter is set by eye on the scale.
Rugged Construction and Daily Use
The body is built from heavy-gauge steel that resists warping under cutting heat and stands up to rough handling in a gang box or service truck. A single locking knob secures the radius arm, so setup takes seconds even with gloved hands. The compact radius arm pivots around the torch tip, meaning the guide adds little bulk and can be used in tight clearances where a trammel bar would foul adjacent structure.

Questions about this item
Which diameter range does the 16229 cover for circle cutting?
The guide adjusts from a 5/8 in minimum to a 12 in maximum hole diameter, so choose it when your cut falls inside that span.
What does the 12 in maximum diameter mean when the guide is mounted on a torch?
It sets the farthest pivot radius the arm can reach, letting you scribe or cut circles up to 12 in across with compatible SC or MC tips.
Which tip standard does the 16229 accept and what does that limit?
It fits SC and MC style cutting tips only, so the guide works with torches using those tip series and not with other tip profiles.
