I have just seen this vidoe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyWIApsLFkE and wondering why everyone hasn't got one? I've certainly never seen one.

Surely it's cheaper than acetylene?

I agree, its not a lot of pressure but a lot I have read say 2-3 psi for ascet and 10-20psi for oxy. So seemed like quite a big jump. Increasing the acet to 1 bar was the only thing I could think that would make any difference, but not really knowing how to set it up I thought I better check first! ...

So 4 bar oxygen and 1 bar acetylene?
I hadn't set the acetylene up that high as I wasn't sure if it was safe to.

I'll give it a go over tomorrow evening, fingers crossed!

Or are they all pretty standard fittin...

My apologies, picture attached. I'm in the UK.
Also the cutter doesn't have an oxygen control knob either? I assume this has to be done on the shank?

I'm just wondering really, is this kit any good?

The nozzles are labled ASFN0-3 and ANF6-12 3/64. From reading various web pages I gather that the letters are for different heads an...
