Hello Friends.
Thank you in advance for all of your answers and help.
I am familiar with Oxy/Acetylene torches, although I do not have my own torch.
I'm looking to buy a cutting torch that will be used to cut steel, mostly in the 3/8" to 1/2" thickness. I'll also want to use it for heating, bending and shaping steel of the same thickness.
First question: Is Oxy/Propane something that I should consider getting? Would it be cheaper to go Oxy/Propane, and does Oxy/Propane make cuts as clean as Oxy/Acetylene?
If so, which cutting tip size would be recommended for Oxy/Propane?
Will Oxy/Propane torches heat the metal for bending as well as Oxy/Acetylene does?
If so, which heating tip would be recommended for use in heating and bending?
What type of torch "complete kits" are available for Oxy/Propane?
Last question: I have seen a "Campbell Hausfeld" cutting torch kit (WT4000) advertised that I like. Would that be a good torch for medium duty cutting and heating, and does that torch use Victor type parts, or Airco, or what?
Thanks again for all of your help.
Kind Regards,
R. Dry
