Well watched the video and went to Paige Tools and ordered up a set of tips and adapter for my Little Torch. Will let you know what I think. Might look for a concentrator for a back up or vice versa.

To add a little more I use the smiths little torch and also have a B bottle of Acetylene I use when I need more heat. I have a 40 cu ft bottle and it will last me several years. Bottle cost about 100 and refill around 30 bucks. I would think a 20 cu ft would last a year or more. Do you mean on oxy or acetylene? I do have a little bottle of acyl. I use oxygen and propane and what I call a plumbers torch which air/acetylene. |

I used to use old medical oxygen tanks, got a few at a sale. You can't get them refilled as they are owned by a company and no one will refill them. I just set mine on 3 and they worked for years. I have been meaning to try a concentrater but I don't like the size or noise. So a regular bottle for me, and I also use propane vs Acetylene. The propane isn't quite as hot but I am not doing Platinum which requires more heat. I think you got your flame mixed up, you want a reduction flame instead of an oxidizing flame. A tight flame that roars will introduce oxygen into your piece and cause fire scale. A longer flame with a touch of yellow on the end will help reduce the fire scale. Here is kind of a better explanation by the experts. orchid.ganoksin.com/t/when-do-you-use-different-types-of-flames/31738/3 |

Hard to live without a good shear in my opinion. A good rolling mill is a must also. I buy most of my stuff used.
