I've been using propane for a couple of years now. All I did was buy a propane tip for the torch I had, and hook my reg up to the tank. Everything else was the same. I run the gas pressure around 6, slightly higher than acetyline, and the oxygen is probably a little higher as well. It makes nice clean cuts. The only drawback I find is that it is difficult to do fine work with propane because of the slow heat. I still use ace to nip bearing races from shafts and those sorts of jobs. I find LPG, because of the slow heat, will tend to heat the shaft too much, and that ends up getting marked. With ace, I can get away without a mark. overall, LPG is cheper, even though I use more oxy. Go for it. Rod
