Hello everyone - happy Christmas and all that stuff.
I've just got a 'refurbished' oxycon from the well known glass making supplier and am very pleased so far, brilliant speedy service. (ordered yesterday, arrived this morning:-) )
I have a question which I hope other users will be able to help me with.
I am using it with a smiths little torch (probably a counterfit) and a number 6 nozzle.
The flow rate needs to be set so low that the flow ball doesn't even move and after a few minutes the red service light comes on. If I up the flow rate, which obviously blows the flame out, the red light goes off.
I have contacted the supplier and they too think it's because the flow is so low.
Do any of you use this combination, and do you get the red light on?
Does anyone know the mechanics of these and if, effectively strangulating the machine to virtually no flow, will damage it.
Thanks
Martyn
