Oxy-Propane Cutting

Basic introduction to Oxy-Propane cutting outfit and setup. This just covers the oxy-propane I plan on making a more in depth comparison between this and acetylene cutting in the near future. (note when I mention the hose grades I have them flip flopped grade T for propane)

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.

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.
