Oxy/LPG. Heating Tip
I use my torch in the smithy for heating precise points that I cant get in the Forge. For example when I built my tables and had to assemble all the peeled over tenons. I couldnt put the half assembled table in the Forge to heat the last tenons.
I also use it to heat solid rivets in place and some times for bending.
My range of stock Id generally be using the torch on is 5mm-30mm.
So far I have been getting away with using a cutting tip, but want to change over to a heating tip (rosebud?).
I havent had much luck finding info on what size tip works for stock size needing heating. Also do the heating tips require a different mixer to the cutting tips?
Anyone have any experience in this area?
