A guide that is used in conjunction with a plasma cutting torch includes a main
circular ring having a small circular ring mounted on the outer periphery thereof.
The small ring includes a bearing assembly and accommodates the plasma cutting
torch. A guide bolt is mounted on the main circular ring and is attached to the
workpiece and forms the center of a circular hole that will be cut with the plasma
torch. Once the main ring is attached to the workpiece, the plasma torch is attached
to the small ring. The torch and rings are then rotated about the bolt with the
plasma torch activated to cut a hole that has a radius equal to the radius of the
main circular ring plus the radius of the small ring.
