There's an acceptable range. With propane, I'd run about 10-12 PSI and control actual output at the torch. The oxygen rarely needs to be above 35-40 psi unless you're doing heavy demolition. This is true for oxy/acetylene as well, but many folk waste O2 thinking it should be higher.niftyweld wrote:Otto Nobedder wrote:That is interesting.

what is the correct working pressure for oxygen and propan ?
I'm not sure what you mean. Simple heating is done with a rosebud, which come in several sizes. If you mean the pre-heat of metal with a cutting tip, your tip choice is determined by the thickness you're cutting. For 1/4", I'd choose a #0 or #00 tip. The #0 will heat a bit faster, and the #00 will give a finer cut line. It's all a trade off.niftyweld wrote:Could you recommend a tip for heating but one without a massive flame?DLewis0289 wrote:I am suspicious of anyone that posts a link that is selling 7018.125's for $3.50 per pound and say's hurry now and stock up before they run out

The good news is the tips are only .33 cents in US dollars. The bad news is they can only be purchased here using Naira (Nigerian currency). Our oppressive regime has mandated our minimum currency exchange is $1000.00 US dollars.
Not to worry my friend! Send me $1000.00 US dollars and I will hastily purchase the miracle tip and mail to you a cashiers check for $999.67 with the tip.....I don't know if you noticed but, FREE SHIPPING.
You must hurry my friend, with our volatile government the availability of currency exchange may not be available much longer.
In the highest regards.
