I'm still looking on the web at Hypertherm 45XP plasma cutters. I found one that comes with a 45 and a 15 degree hand torch. I've looked a little bit and haven't come up with much on uses for the 15 degree torch. Anyone with experience on what they're good for? I don't want to buy something that will sit unused.

to my knowledge 15 degree is typically used when gouging (handy for removing welds when you want to save/reuse parent material)

Or tight access/hard reach areas I understand. Seems to be a specialty tool that for most, wouldn't be used.

I usually just lay my torch on its side and make short arc burst for gouging, but If I had the 15 degree torch, I would probably find a use for it.
