[TheForge] oxy-propylene/Henrob

[Kathy]

Clyde,
The Henrob does work with oxy-propane, but no claims to superior cutting or
welding characteristics are claimed for this torch with any fuel but acetylene.
So, why would you put up with its disadvantages, without any hoped for
advantages?

Hi Clyde;
I ditched the clunky aluminum handle and the cutting tube on my 
Henrob and liked it a lot better...then somebody walked into the 
shop, cut the hoses and stole it off the wall...goofy! They 
couldn't have known what it was.
I'm presently dinking away at cutting another one down even 
further..it has a lot of excess weight still.
