And that's yet another reason to use an oxycon rather than bottled oxygen.....
would this work?

My brother who's a diver suggested getting a 'pony' bottle from a dive shop, but the guy in the local gas place said that wouldn't be good enough because it wasn't pure oxygen.
I'd say no. The concentration looks very low.
And certainly not worth the fiver saving against just getting one from Tuffnells or Off Mandrel.
I don't know anything about this company but they may be worth checking out, see; http://www.adamsgas.co.uk/index.php?...mart&Itemid=54
I am still with BOC but when my rental contract runs out, I have Adamsgas on my list of try outs for my oxygen.

heh, I was thinking I could pick it up and save the £75 postage Also I didn't read the whole thing and now I see it just makes it 26% oxygen.
I did see this one in Shipley...

still probably not right. How big are these units anyway? My workshop is so small that even without a cat you can't swing round.
would the bottles fit, though? and... would they sell them to me if they did?
I've been making do with a proxxon torch so far but wanted something with a bit more oomph for the bigger things I've been working on. A friend of mine has a torch which has a pond pump at one end of the oxygen hose which she says does make the flame hotter than just with the propane.
Not immediately - they'll be either DIN or A clamp, and you'd need a suitable regulator to step down from 230 or so bar. Would they sell them? Depends on their perceived liability exposure.
Sounds like a Flamefast - I've seen them, and they're quite effective. I have one of the larger Flamefasts, which needs a bigger compressor driving it (although it is ported for natural gas, I need to get it changed to use propane).I've been making do with a proxxon torch so far but wanted something with a bit more oomph for the bigger things I've been working on.

it's this one....

it's ok, but a bit variable in terms of heat.
I might collar a local guy I know who is not only a welder (he does a lot of industrial art stuff at Glastonbury) but is also a diver.
I also got a oxycon unit from Tuffnells. Works a treat.
