Hi all,
I am looking to buy a Oxy/Ace Torch soon. Main purpose is to cut 1/8 or larger steel for chasis supports for my truck. I also have a dream of doing some Aluminum Gas welding though who knows if I actually get to it. So I gotta ask, what should I look for or look out for? One more thing, I was thinking about going ultra low budget and use MAPP and Oxy ($50 from HomeDepot). I read that it is actually hotter than Oxy/Ace but not as good for welding. Does anyone have some experience here with this stuff? If it is any good for cutting I will probably just go this route as I'm already shelling out a lot of money on the 914 and fixing the truck. Too many broken down vehicles.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Thanks! |
