I had the O2 as about 10PSI at the regulator and the acetylene around 5.
Not sure if these are correct-ish.

Suggestions?


O2 should be 15+, acety is correct


I'm using a Craftsman cutting torch bought in 1967. Never had the
problem you describe. But I do usually run it at 5 Acet/15-20 Oxy.

FWIW, the regulators for this set died years ago, repair guys
disclaimed being able to get parts. The roech handle, cutting and
weldeing heads just go on and on.
