Meco midget torch max metal thickness

The add-ons you can request for Christmas. Think I have aw through AW with the exception of the very hard to find Aw The Cobra welds very well. I love the setup of the separate oxygen and flame tips. If I had my druthers, I'd druther have a Smith or Kioke torch than some others, although I have heard some prefer a Harris cutting torch. I was just surprised how much smaller the 00 seemed compared to the 0. It has a lot to do with how the units balance in my hands.

I think Alan is right on. The Midget was a smaller brass version of the Smith. It's just SO heavy!! Either one you can't go wrong. The Cobra has the ability to cut steel which the Meco does not.

Most of the deals you will find on torch outfits have a torch that is to large for the 's of hours you will spend welding on this project. You'll find several of my comments on his web site which were pulled from this group and not compensated in any way. Cutting thick metal is limited to dragging or pulling the torch towards you. This allows easy torch lights, and the tips and necessary wrench are right at hand for changing.

I gave the shop teacher my Journeyman outfit, so all they have to do is purchase the correct acetylene welding and cutting tips. Double-gas torches, such as the propane system shown at right, are more expensive, but more versatile. He took one of your gas welding aluminum courses several years ago, and bought a Meco and the special lens for aluminum I bought one, too, from the guy I got my Henrob from. The Cobra is kind of heavy, but, after a while you get used to it. I am in love with some of your tools [Kent White]. I was focused on the feather flame prior to adding oxygen.
