Oxyturbo kit any good for brazing?

[phil81uk]

I'm looking at the popular Oxyturbo kits that use displosable Propane and Oxygen bottles. I want it for unseizing bolts, brazing and warming up my tea.

Has anyone got experience in using these kits for brazing? Are they good enough for the job?

They are adequate for small jobs, but VERY expensive running costs. You can use propane gas and co2 (pub bottles) work just as well giving out around 1200 degrees temp and a LOT cheaper to run.

co2 pub bottles are carbon dioxide not oxygen

if you have an air compressor you can use compressed air and propane. propane and co2 will not work as the co2 is for extinguishing fires

u can use propane and compresed air providing u have a flamefast torch or simlar type .oa torches arent any use and would just blow out not much good for spot heating mind

that would be a very safe set up light the propance then the Co2 will put the flame out no chance of burning down the shed
