Nice torch dude :)

But they just cost a fortune :(

[afireinside]

Sick :slobber:
How much did it cost?

[Pandrone]

Ooh, nice piece of equipment you have there :). I like the handle (if it's called a handle).

[HawainPanda]

holy, lol..how much did that cost?

[Sidewinder]

everyone asks the same, i knew this :D

pricing was pretty good! i mean a shop near us had a small setup with 2l acetylne, 5l oxigen rest was the same. Price was 995€ without Tax!

This Setup is about 600$

Edit: looked for a new vakuum pump also... but the price of 1200€ was quite to much.. :D

[HawainPanda]

for a torch...dude...lol awsome

[Sidewinder]

The torch itself (without bottles) costs about 200€... (handpiece, pipe, torches)
i should look up the english words anytime... :D

[Gleep]

You should be able to find a vacuum pump for less than 200€ (unless I'm guessing wrong on exchange rates, I picked up a vacuum pump for 160 USD).

[Unknown_road]

do you have some pics in action?

[Beccara]

OMG, that torch is so nice, can you post make and modle (part) numbers, i would be keen to buy one

Whats the range of tips like? cutting? welding? brazing?

And yeah, O/A is ALOT better then MAPP

[afireinside]

Yea you can weld with that thing right? I might get one :D

[HawainPanda]

lol and ur english is fine sidewinder

[Sidewinder]

atm no pics in action, but the flame gets fu***ing green when brazing copper :D

The tips can weld and braze, for cutting you need an extra one, but they arent pretty expensive about 40$ or so.

These are the Parts:

Star 2210 hand piece
2-4mm tip
4-6mm tip
1kg Brass plumb bob (very cheap!)
100g Silver (Fluxing agent-encased, expensive but much better)
10m Twin hose, fixed
50ml Solderwater
2 Pressure-reducing valve, Single Interstage (Acetylene, Oxigen)

and of course:

Oxigen
Acetylene

Hawainpanda: There are several people who dont understand a single word about what im talkin :D
Gleep: most the time im buyin new parts, looks like i have to look @ebay

Depends on where on the globe you live, in sweden everyone can have a ace/ocy torch setup when the bottles don't exceed 5l.

[Sidewinder]

In Germany you dont need a certificate at all...
For Poland ask Berkut, maybe he knows :)

[godmod]

i heard that copper and acethylen is a very dangerous mix?!

[jan]

i heard that copper and acethylen is a very dangerous mix?!


don't mix acetylen with the following materials:

pure copper
mercury
silver
brass with more than 70% copper in it

[godmod]

does this mean that you can't use acethylen in the third stage of a cascade (because of the copper tubes) ???

[Patrickclouds]

take a look at page 8 in this pdf

[godmod]

i know this^^
i've already read this guide a long time ago...

i just asked this because someone said that he will use air/n2 or acethylene in the third stage of his cascade.
