Its no wonder acetylene is getting expensive. How much of a performance
hit is using oxy-propane instead ?

Steve

My question also. Does propane require a different tip or torch? Can the
same hoses
be used for propane?

Bob


Yes, same hoses and regulators with propane. Cutting torch will require a
new tip. The tip is an entirely different design.

Propane seems to take longer heating and the cutting kerf will be wider as
best as I can remember.

It will also use more oxygen.
