Cut up some old steel for a friend yesterday.
Didn't find out until finished that I had not tightened the O2 nut down, and it was sucking air. What can I say?
Anyway, the blue flame points on the tip are totally different than acetylene, and when cranking on the propane, it's hard to see the flame and to get the gas on to the right level. I had it set at 4 and 20 with about a #1 tip.
I find it difficult to adjust the gas at first, and then to adjust the O2 to where I get even blue points on the tip when I press the plunger.
Can someone walk me through setting a propane torch right? Maybe drop down to 2 and 20 on the pressure? It was mostly thin stuff, but it cut some 1/2" stuff, although slowly.
Overall, in the first real test of this, I was satisfied.
