Download the book $10http://cabgbypasssurgery.com Just the torch handle and head or do you get extra tips? Cutting tips were in the $22-30 range locally, last time I had to buy one. I bought my whole medium sized Victor set with regulators at an auction for $60 about 10 years back, came with one cutting tip, which is either too large or too small. If it's just a bare nekkid torch with one tip and nothing else, probably in the range of $60-100, depending on how generous you're feeling. There's plenty of used equipment out there if you go looking, chances are your local welding supplier has some used repaired equipment looking for a home for the cost of the repairs. Biggest problem with used is tip abuse, guys use the cutting tip for knocking out the slugs or never clean the things. A lot of used torches look like they were dunked in tar. If it's still shiny, that's a plus. Stan |

Typically about 20 to 40% of the MSRP.
In about 1980 or so, I bought a plumbers torch at a garage sale. Paid $15, which was a lot of money back then. The MC tank and PreToLite tip worked well for me, for many years. I finally got the 400 degree hotter turbo blaster tip. Have used that several times for silver brazing when I do refrigeration. Also does a nice job helping to loosen nuts and bolts when dissembling equipment. I've never had an oxygen torch of any form. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

"Stormin Mormon" fired this volley in
: I've never had an oxygen torch of any form. Stormy, you can't even imagine how much a oxygen torch will improve your work, and reduce the amount of over-heating you _must_ do to adjacent components when using an air torch. LLoyd |
