Oxy/ propane

[highseas]

Can some one recommend a set of oxy/ propane gear? I have a load of rsj to play with this next week and might as well invest.

Now I do have about 10 old oxy/accet torches if they can be re purposed?
Looking for a fairly cost effective route (read that as cheap!)

Put a propane nozzle in your torches and job done. I use it at my workshop. Only use acetylene if customers have it to hand.

You will need a propane reg but I’ve one with no gauge. Just do it by eye.

You’ll also need propane hose if you do it properly but if it’s a now and again thing it’s probably cheaper to let it rot the hose you have first then replace it.

I’ve got a load of old hose sets, I think I will just buy a new set of hoses and go from their.
Local place has a full set regs pipes flash backs torches and tips ext for £190

That’s pretty good value to be fair.

If your Scotland (I think you are) try HIS or MacGregors. But you knew that anyway

Edit, ignore the above. I checked and you’re not. Must have you confused with someone else

The tight wallet give it away eh no just over the border in the lakes, I was looking at plasma first but I work with rusty scabby stuff a lot so fuel cutting would be better and then I have a fast heat sorce for bending if I need it
