territorialmillworks Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I've been using Z-burners for several years but noticed that the performance was falling off. I found the S/S flares were rough from oxidation so I smoothed with a dremel tool. I'd read somewhere about smoothing out the seam in the 3/4" pipe. Being an over-achiever, I lined bored them on the lathe which ended up giving me 0.83 dia which caused me to have to drill the mig tips to 0.42. End result - hotter, perfect cone shaped blue flame with less scale. Well worth the couple of hours down time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbruce Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Take your mig tips out and see if they're clogged. It happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
