Thread: A torch set up-Oxygen/Propane??.

Tweet

I bought my tanks a long time ago and would not use anything else.(oxy-acet) Propane dose not burn as hot and I'm not sure you can burn steel with it For stuck bolts propane just dosen't get it... I think you will be disapointed with anything else but O/A... Home Depot here is where I get my tanks exchanged. Just get a small set to start you can always sell it and go bigger. I can't even imagin a fab shop with out them.

Charlie-I said the same thing about propane not being hot enough.My friend said most junk yards have moved to propane because it is cheaper and it isn't like what I am used to with propane because once you mix oxygen with it,it energizes the propane to burn hot.He said he has cut 3/8 I beam with his set up.I was hoping someone here has done this and could tell their version.
