The CRUXWELD GLIDO 2T is a semi-automatic oxy-fuel cutting machine that glides along a guide rail on a stepless-speed carriage. Two torches on the cross bar cut plate from 6 to 100 mm thick: parallel strips, weld-prep bevels and V-grooves in a single pass, and circles from Ø200 to 2,000 mm on the radius bar.

The carriage rides on a perforated steel rail, driven by a motor through a worm gear and clutch. A thyristor speed control holds the travel speed you dial in, so the kerf is the same at the end of the cut as at the start. The two torches ride a rack-and-pinion cross bar, each with its own height and tilt.
Two cutting torches on one cross bar. Cut parallel strips to width, or set one square and one tilted for a V-groove with a root face in a single travel.
The rail is the straight edge. Carriage wheels locate in the rail, so a 100 mm cut runs as true as a 6 mm one. Join sections for longer plates.
Power switch, speed dial and forward/reverse on the top panel. Speed holds under load; a clutch lever frees the carriage for pushing by hand.
Each torch holder racks up and down, slides along the bar and tilts to 45°. Gas distributor with oxygen, preheat and fuel valves at the mast.
The carriage is a 470 × 230 × 240 mm aluminium casting with a carry handle. Counterweight on the bar balances two torches hung out over the plate.
Fit the radius bar and centre pin, lift one caster, and the carriage orbits the pin to cut flanges, blanks and manholes.
Plate to size along the rail, 6–100 mm thick.
Two torches, two kerfs, strips cut to width in one pass.
Tilt a torch for weld bevels; two torches give a V with root face.
Radius bar and centre pin, Ø200–2,000 mm.

Guide values for acetylene nozzles on clean mild steel. Pick the nozzle by thickness, set oxygen pressure, then dial the speed so the sparks leave straight down or slightly behind the kerf.
| Nozzle | Plate thickness | Cutting oxygen | Travel speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| No. 00 | 5 – 10 mm | 0.20 – 0.30 MPa | 600 – 450 mm/min |
| No. 0 | 10 – 20 mm | 0.20 – 0.30 MPa | 480 – 380 mm/min |

| No. 3 | 50 – 70 mm | 0.30 – 0.40 MPa | 300 – 240 mm/min |
| No. 4 | 70 – 100 mm | 0.30 – 0.40 MPa | 260 – 200 mm/min |
LPG / propane nozzles cut the same thicknesses at slightly lower speeds. Send us your plate and fuel gas and we will confirm the set.
Set the two torches once and every plate edge comes off ready for fit-up.

The CRUXWELD GLIDO 2T is a portable, semi-automatic gas cutting machine for straight cuts, strip cutting and weld-edge preparation on steel plate. A motor-driven carriage travels along a perforated guide rail at a speed set on the dial, between 50 and 750 mm/min, and two oxy-fuel cutting torches on the cross bar cut plate from 6 to 100 mm thick. Because both torches move together, the GLIDO 2T cuts two parallel strips, or a bevel and a root face, in a single pass.
The carriage is a cast aluminium body of 470 × 230 × 240 mm with a carry handle, a thyristor speed control, a forward/reverse switch and a clutch lever that frees the wheels for positioning by hand. Each torch holder racks up and down for nozzle height, slides along the bar for strip width and tilts up to 45° for bevels and V-grooves. A gas distributor at the mast carries the oxygen, preheat and fuel-gas valves, with M16 × 1.5 right-hand and left-hand hose connections.
On the 1.8 m guide rail the GLIDO 2T cuts plate to size and strips to width; rail sections join for longer plates. Tilt one torch and the edge comes off bevelled; set the second torch square and the same pass leaves a root face. With the radius bar and centre pin fitted, the carriage orbits the pin to cut circles and flanges from Ø200 to 2,000 mm. See the CIRCO range for dedicated circle cutting and the TUBOCUT PYTHON for pipe.
The torches take standard machine-cutting nozzles. With acetylene, nozzle No. 00 to No. 4 cover 5 to 100 mm plate at 600 down to 200 mm/min; LPG nozzles cut the same range at slightly lower speed. Tell us your fuel gas and plate range and the right nozzle set ships with the machine.
The GLIDO 2T runs from a 220 V, 50 Hz single-phase socket through a 5 m cable. The kit includes the carriage, cross bar and torch holders, two torches, hose sets, guide rail, radius bar, counterweight, nozzle set, tools and manual. Rail sections, nozzles, torches and hose sets are stocked as spares, and our technical team supports setup and cut quality on WhatsApp and video call.
