BUY A ROLLER GUIDE. Make it a priority. The ease of use is greatly improved with one over the wire standoff that comes with the torch. The stance is wider which makes it more stable side to side and that means less tendency to tilt the torch. My cuts in 1/2" plate are much cleaner and straighter with no dross at all. With the wire standoff, I was wobbling a bit side to side and that caused a lot of dross underneath.

I am really pleased with mine as you can tell. This is the one I got. It fits Trafimet S45 torches which come with the Everlast PP50 as well as the Harbor Freight and Eastwood cutters.

Can you please measure the ID of the ring please?

I've never used one of those, looks very interesting! I guess I'm just too old school, I generally use a burning bar. Do the wheels help keep the torch going in a straight line, so you wouldn't need a straight edge?

So why the burning bar????

I am guessing he uses it with the O/A torch. And for things that wont fit on the table. And for things it isnt worth setting up the table for.

You must have a lot bigger CNC machine than I do. My machine will only cut 3-inches in height, so something like this won't fit under the torch.
