Been thinking about buying one of these, just curious how long the oxy tank would last.
Fuel gas heating, bending, welding, straightening, etc.
That’s what I keep on my truck. It last quite a while. Two acetylene tanks per oxy. I have a cutting head too. You can get tanks traded at most plumbing or HVAC supply houses for about 20$ per tank or less.
I have more questions than answers

The only down side is cutting steel
I have larger bottles for cutting and bigger Victor Torch
Just save for field work

Are you doing more brazing then cutting? It always seemed to me (with cutting) that the oxygen always went low first.Poland308 wrote:That’s what I keep on my truck. It last quite a while.

Probably about 50 50 on the usage. I use a miniature rose bud for any brazing over 1/2inch. I have a small cutting head, but I’ve cut up to 1 inch thick plate with it. It runs about 10 on the acetylene and 40 on the oxy. Still about a 1-1/2 or 2 acetylene tanks to 1 oxy.
