    smoke wrench

     



    hey Gang,
    Has anybody here had any experences using a cutting torch that uses gasoline and oxygen instead of oxygen/acetylene.
    It is getting pretty expensive leasing the large acetylene bottles ($300+), and our plasma cutter doesn't do the thick stuff.

    one of my buddies uses propane/oxygen but he said it isn't as hot as oxy/acetylene

    thanks
    hank

    You can use natural gas. We used it when I worked at a factory in Chicago. Another gas is called Accitgen(not sure about spelling) but it requires special tips.
