Hi everyone , as someone might know I've recently acquired a cutting torch and I'm slowly piece by piece composing my set up .
But being something new for me I'd like to receive advice about what to buy .
So I was initially thinking about the model 801 ,both for oxygen and propane.
Light and medium duty .
Oxygen I think that 10 bar might work for me , my cutting torch should work with 0.8 bar propane and 3.5 bar oxygen (working pressure)
Propane I'd like to have 2 pressure gauge ,so I'll be able to see fuel level in the tank .
I'd like to be able to use up to a #2 rosebud .
But I've just seen the model 25GX which is an heavy duty (cutting up to 400mm)
This would give me enough room even for a small thermal launch , which at the moment it's not needed but If tomorrow I'll work for myself might be useful
So I don't know if go overkill now or stay on the smallish side .
I'll most likely cut up to 120mm at maximum , most of my cuts would be around 8-20mm
Rosebud would be one of the last things I'll buy but it has its space
I don't know how to proceed right now .
Most of the work would be heating and bending stuff, maybe some cuts ,but not everyday stuff or heavy metalworking
What would you do?
