Hello,
While working on my Model A, I have some tasks that
require a torch, such as:
Heating steel rivets red hot to set them.
A bit of blacksmith-type work on a bit of bent frame.
Possibly shrinking some body sheet metal.
I'm pretty sure that my ordinary propane torch isn't
adequate for these tasks, but I would rather not have
to get a full oxy-acetylene setup.
(I doubt I will need to do actual gas welding, since I
already have a MIG setup w/ argon.)
I have seen a Bernz-O-Matic MAPP/Oxygen set for $49.95
that uses disposable oxygen and gas cylinders. Has
anyone tried one of these? Would I find it pathetic?
How long do those 1 CF disposable oxygen cylinders (at
$9 each) last?
I could also get the $239.99 HF mini-oxy-acetylene
setup, I guess. It has a 10 cf acetylene cylinder and
a 20 cf oxy cylinder. Is it any good? How much might
it cost to fill those cylinders?
Any advice would be welcome!
Doug
