Sounds good, thanks

BTW what would I set the regulators at for propane?

 

[AllDodge]

Might get the hose later, but do like the tip and will get it thanks for the info

I'm finding the MFN-10 tip says it needs to be used with 3/8 ID hose and HD310 handle

If you look at Tip Size #8 that is the same one that I mentioned yesterday, that was sent from our supplier.

From what some of the others have mentioned it looks like you may be may be able to use an acetylene regulator for propane. I was not aware of that. We use propane regulators.

More than one way to skin a cat I guess!

 

[AllDodge]

Totally understand, many things I'm still trying to get together. If I need a size 10 tip then guess I also need to buy the T hose. Also with the amount of O2 which will be needed, might need to get another tank (150/200 scfh). Never done thins before, so trying to figure it out before I start

 

[Metalman 55]

My thoughts are if you buy one "K" size oxygen bottle that should be suffice to do the heating for the bucket repair at hand. Also, we use #8 propane tips for heating heavier plates then what your bucket cutting edge would be, so I believe that size will be adequate.

 

[AllDodge]

Cool, many thanks

As well once in hand the equipment is in house for other work.

Your link above is for 55 series heating tips not MFN. Here's what Victor recommends for pressures, scroll down to the MFN, MFN-1. You could use a #10 MFN.

OK, 10/30 O2 and 12/20 propane, and this does require 3/8 ID hose so that should help.

 

[DMiller]

OK, been ten days, Update??

 

[AllDodge]

Sorry, haven't done much on it other then put the bucket back on to use the weight of the machine to help bend back. Do plan to get it done but to many other projects going on. I have this thread saved and will take pics and update when work starts back.

Buddy1 (the one that broke the bucket) has a log home (I hate log homes) and was helping 2 of the days sanding, calking and sealing logs. Then bush hogged 4 days for another buddy2 to clean up has land. Has some large trees down and still need to cut them and move out of the way.

Cut patio up with concrete saw one day, and the next day re-poured slab.

Spent today back at buddy1 log home (did I mention I hate log homes) putting paint stripper on, then scraping it back off.

Tomorrow I go to French Lick for a Niece's wedding (I get to rest and drink beer, Yeh me)

 

[AllDodge]

Forgot, also tore down and replaced the drive way steps.

 

[DMiller]

Sounds like a good busy week!!

 

[AllDodge]

Been another busy week, but did order the MFN10 from Welding City on Oct 3th and they just sent me an email saying "They Might Have it by Next Month"

My reply was you said "might" so if I wait till next month they could say again, they might have it again. I cancelled the order and see if I can find it somewhere else

 

[Welder Dave]

Shouldn't be hard to find one at a welding supply.

 

[AllDodge]

Well was getting and disconnected the Acetylene and the fitting doesn't make the propane. The axe tank is right hand threads and propane is left hand also. What am I missing?

 

[DMiller]

A propane regulator should have a male coupler, a MAPP gas regulator thread used to be the same as acetylene.
