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

I would go for a full o/a setup rather than the map gas but that is me. Map with Oxygen should work for you on a small scale but I assume you will find it lacking in the long term. Watch out and make

Buying standard-sized tanks from the local welding supply will also cost far less over time because the charge to fill a set of small cylinders isn't much less than for, say, a 125 cu.ft (about 4' ta

I've tried the oxy-mapp set ups. It works. But the oxygen does not last long. (It's been a long while so I can't recall how long but I do recall it wasn't long...) Eric Russell Mebane, NC http://home

I think I paid more like $35 for mine, on sale at Home Despot. Didn't have as many accessories as the more expensive set, but I've already got lighters and goggles and solder and so on. I didn't exp

I've used the oxy/mapp setup for years. It works great for heating and very very limited welding, well, more like brazing. For what you described, it would be fine. As was mentioned, buy at least tw

Don't waste your time with the mapp gas setup - when you got to heat stuff up to "forging temperature" in a timely fashion, you should go with an oxy acetylene set I haven't looked in a HF catalog f

Actually, I noticed that the usual Big Boxes sell a very similar set from Lincoln/Harris for only a bit more than what HF charges for thiers. Doug

Anyway, I ended up going to L**es and getting a Lincoln/Harris "Port-a-Torch" set. I was pleasantly surprised, because I had assumed that they merely stuck their name on some generic Chinese import s

Well, the neutral flame thing turned out to be pretty obvious, once I knew what to look for. Do you have any tips on how to tell if the overall gas flow is correct for the size tip you are using? Tha

My tips specify the recommended pressure for fuel/oxygen and metal thickness. The class I took started us with 16 gauge steel. Two pieces, one flat, one vertical, forming an inverted "T" and weld was
