[TheForge] oxy-propane after all

[Robert J Hill]

Isn't it a matter of what type of cutting tip you put on the torch?  I 
have propane tips for two of my torches and they work just fine.  Blew 
through one inch plate no problem.

Wow, thanks for that link, the FAQ there answered all my questions:

(yeah, this is propane, not propylene; the thread forked)

Summary:  I wouldn't likely die trying, but it is inefficient, using
up too much Oxy since it just doesn't mix right in a torch made for
oxy/acet (according to allstates).  Makes sense -- if anyone's mileage
has varied from that, please let us know...
