So why are you not running oxy-propane? Can't weld with it but you can heat and cut with it! Loads cheaper than Acetylene. It does take special tips but most (if not all) mainline welding companies have them for their torches. I hope you are using a gas saver too.

Thomas.... thank you for reminding me of the propane. I know it would be cheaper and I will get that going I think. I guess it has just been that I have so many tips and equip for acet. that I have just let that go. Things are so expensive. I will check on tip prices for propane. Gas saver? I must admit I did not know of that. Is it a quick valve or....? I will definately look at that. Thanks

I use a forced air forge and have great luck uses a lot less propane than a venturi and you can control how much or how little heat you need. It was cheap to build also you dont have to figure out what jet size you need or anything. |
