Re: can you convert a oxyacetylene torch for propane use

When I hauled scrap I used propane, the 100lb cylinder lasted forever or so it seemed. As for tips I ordered a 2 piece tip for ease of cleaning.

Re: Plasma cutting 1/2" plate....4' foot of cut....

I have to say I must have an attitude problem also, who wants to go to a post only to find a link to another site? Ive seen sites where they wouldn't allow links to other sites saying that they are trying to pull folks away from one to another.
