Hi folks, I'm changing over from oxy propane to oxy acetylene & obviously need to get new gear to run the acetylene.
To make it easier I'm probably going to buy a kit that comes with regs, hoses, flashback arrestors, welding torch & nozzles and a cutting attachment then sell the oxy propane stuff.
So far I've seen LD torches, HD torches and type 5 torches along with various sizes of hose.
I would like a slightly less industrial size torch than my propane one, as it's a cumbersome thing to wield
so is the type 5 any less cumbersome than a 18/90 cutting torch? Or would a LD torch be the way to go?
Same applies to hoses, it's 10mm bore ones I have now but I'd like to get smaller more manageable ones, preferably siamese type.
If you could suggest a kit that would be great but will by parts individually if needs be.
