I'm looking to get a torch and tanks for brazing and cutting for home
shop use. Though it's all I've used before, I'd like to avoid acetylene if possible--from what I've read in the archives, the alternatives are safer, they cut cleaner, and I don't need to gas weld (been there and prefer brazing). But I don't know what the compatibility is as far as equipment goes. I can find dozens of oxy-acet torch sets (best deal is the Victor Advantage II set thru Sam's club for $132, I think), but little for oxy-mapp/propylene. There is a Harris set specifically for oxy-propylene, but it's $200+. I understand oxy-mapp/propylene may need larger and/or special tips--what sizes would I need to braze 1/16" to 1/4", and cut 1/8" to 1/2" (the Victor set comes w/ 0s for each)? How about compatibility of the rubber hoses, seals, regulators...? Any guidance appreciated. Thanks, David |
