[TheForge] Torch, Propane

[Ron Childers]

I've used the same acetylene regulator with propane for 15 years with no
problems- a #3 propane tip for the big Smith for serious cutting and the
small Victor as-is for localized heating, etc. Ron C

Consider propane as a fuel. In the UK anyway it's cheaper and a bottle lasts
much longer as it comes as a pressurised andnot dissolved gas. I can also
get it much easier, and don't pay rental on the bottle. Unless you want to
weld it will do everything acetylene does but at a slightly lower
temperature.

You will need a different regulator, hose and cutting / heating nozzles for
propane.

Hello
I am looking to purchase a torch set, for an occasional cutting task and for
localized heating of objects. What options, attributes or other factors
should I be considering?

Thank you
lynn
