 This article introduces the reader to the basics of oxy-fuel (gas) cutting setup using myCNC software.
+The profile screen description for the oxy-fuel cutting profiles (X1366G/X1366GA) is available here: [[mycnc:mycnc_setup_examples:gas_cutting|Basic profile for Gas Cutting.]]
 Upon opening the 1366G profile (gas cutting/welding profile) and navigating to the User Settings, the operator is presented with the following window:

 //OC low// is the low-pressure cutting oxygen flow. It is started slightly before the //OC high// (high-pressure cutting oxygen) flow as to prevent the heated metal from splashing onto the torch. Note that if only one cutting oxygen flow is available, //OC low// connection should be used when setting up the machine.
+===THC and IHC===
+On most machines, THC and IHC are usually not required for the operator, so these should be turned off by default:

+==Simpler Controller Connections==
+Note that the image above refers to a full configuration for an oxy-fuel cutting machine equipped with all the possible oxygen flows as well as an ignition cycle. A simpler machine connection configuration with only one pressure of cutting and heating oxygen, a fuel supply and no ignition torch will look as follows:
