Thanks Frosty,
Have you made a 1/2" style burner? I have some 1/2" schedule 160 pipe, will a 3/4" X 1/2" work (3/4" X 3/4" with a reducer). parts are limited out here. I'm thinking about making a burner out of this. 1/2" schedule 160 pipe has a .466 ID which makes it just a little smaller than a 3/8" schedule 40, with lots of meat on the sides. Is the 3/4" run size to much air? I have 0.023 mig tips. I'm trying to make a hot little burner with what I have on hand. I figure the length to be 3.75, just a little over 8 X the ID. I can make any size flare needed. The only limit is the size of the whole in my forge. The old burner I have is a 3/4" with a Ron Reil SS flare on it. Forge has a 1 1/4" opening for the burner. Any suggestions? I'll make some burners until I can upload some pictures.
Parts I have 3/4 X3/4 T, 1/2 X1/2 T, reducer bushings, lots of pipe, threading machine, lathe, drill press.
