Is Oxigen-Acetylene gas equipment, with the right burner suitable for use in a gas forge for blademaking purpouses?

A/O is awfully expensive fuel for a forge, also runs a bit on the hot side. You might be better off with a propane fired forge

Victor what fuel do you have available in your area?

It is cause I have the chance to get it cheap from a man cannot work anymore with that stuff. Because I do not have something like a T-rex burner for propane. Whatever, I guess it woul be expensive to maintain for long term. I can have access to many fuel sources, and I want to build my own gas forge cause there is not dealers for such in México. I want to get kaowool, burners and termocouples.

With an OZ set you could build burners; though I would probably go with brazing the parts with the OA over welding.

OZ? please, explain me alitte

i built a propane burner similar to the T-Rex burner, i made it from black iron pipe i picked up at the hardware store, a few mig welding tips, and a few odds and ends, i bet i have less than $15.00 in it and it works great, if you would like pictures of it let me know

A/O will make plenty heat, but will use alot of oxy.
I made a gas burner close to the one in the blue prints
in this site, and am very pleased with the performance.
check your options, and be creative. good luck

Ok, thanks guys I´ll check blueprints and some other stuff.

Get the OA set if you have a good opportunity. It's great for a lot of things. You can weld, cut, and do hot work. It's handy for tweaking and working on ironwork that no longer easily fits in a forge like peening or adjusting bends in a final assembly. It's great for very concentrated heats, like upsetting. However, you'll spend a lot of money on fuel if you run it as an all-purpose forge. For occasional use, you could set it up with some fire bricks like some people do with weed burners, but long term you'll want something cheaper and safer like propane.
