Oxy-Propane Cutting

[Welding2012]

An acetylene tip would be a no go with propane if you notice the tip is recessed for propane which allows the flame to burn with acetylene it would just blow itself out. Propane tips also allow for the needed additional gas flow.

What if you use acetylene tip? ¿Cut?

How thick can you cut with the stock tip with that setup?

Do you have plans to move to acetylene in the future?

[ChuckE2009]

Nice I've always used victor cutting equipment because that's what's around here but that smith stuff looks sweet!

What size oxygen tank is that?

[Welding2012]

Sorry man can't weld with oxy-propane it doesn't get hot enough also when oxy-acetylene burns it produces CO2 that shields the weld, with propane you do not get that so the molten puddle has nothing to protect it therefore it is impossible.

[Theoutdoorsguy1]

you should weld with it too

[Theoutdoorsguy1]

not bad for like 15 bucks a cylinder

One of the big advantages is the fact that the plant that provides 80% or so of the US Acetylene burnt up last year and will not be back in production they say some time in 2012. Until then Acetylene is way more expensive than can be afforded.
