Oxy acetylene rental prices

[Brad93]

I’m on business pricing but they still take the ****. The stupid thing is a full size W bottle of Oxygen is only £0.50 a month more expensive and £6 more to refill.

Can't stand propane for cutting. Unless you're cutting 2" thick plus where it is better than acetylene.

It's a sod to light on a windy day, takes 3 times as long to set your flame, wider kerf, more heat into the plate, slower cutting speed. You use a lot more oxygen too.

Pre heating or burning its the way to go 100%. As said you get tonnes more BTU and its cheap.

We use Oxy Propane here just for heating and an odd bit of cutting.

It is a pig to light and set a torch flame (I thought it was only me that had this problem)

If you’ve got a bit of plate to hold the torch to it’s a lot easier to light as the propane puddles rather than just dropping away.
