| turbotorch?
i was at the welding shop today and saw a TurboTorch swirl kit. i was really tempted to get it, but didnt know if the flame would be small enough to work on 3/16 tub. has anyone used this before? |

Possibly OK I'm a Plumber and bought one of these below for copper pipe smaller than 15mm - it'll probably work for lead too (I could post an ebay link but don't want a yelling at) |

Joey, go to harbour frieght.They have a really nice micro torch that will hook right up to your bottles and guages. You have probally seen it at my place.Nice small flame for great heat control on smaller items.

If it's this one you'll need two bottles + regulators |

| Brass rod 1/8th and 1/16th....silver solder....with presision heat control you could use regular solder but this is a bit overkill for 65/35 type solder. It is just a precision oxy/cetylene set up, you could gas weld with it also on smaller materials or even burn a few holes with the oxy cranked up...

I already have a canadian tire oxy/mapp kit that I use to heat some jammed bolt on my car so it was powerful , somes use only mapp, other talk about oxy too, can you explain the benefit to use oxy/mapp instead of just mapp. the kit I have, i can use only mapp or both thanks guy Last edited by joss097; 11-03-2011 at 03:49 PM. |
