If I read this right I can get set up with an economical way to cut and heat steel for bending with an oxy-propane set up? Currently I do not have any oxy-fuel equipment. Since I can weld with my stick welder and mig when I get one all I need is cut and heat for bending. The local/regional welding place did not seem too keen on selling me a propane setup. I guess I need to go in with a shopping list. Here is what I have in mind:
20# grill type propane tank from local gas station.
From the welding supply place
Oxy tank rental S or K size (154 vs 249 CUft)
Oxy-acetylene torch rig.
Upgrade to "T" grade hose
get propane cutting and rose bud tips
In the future if I want to get in to acetylene welding I will have to purchase a new regulator.
