cutting with propane

[48ford]

Hi,
 I want to switch to propane for cutting the shop.
Do I need new hoses? Regulators?
Tips?
Any one doing this?


Thanks Russ

A friend uses propane. Everything remains the same.
It may not be as hot as acetylene though.

There are special tips for your cutting torch that work better with manufactured gases. Check with the torch manufacturer. For welding I don't think it burns as clean (or hot) as acetylene but it seems to work good enough for brazing. GPster

Acetylene is very hard to come by now.
So I may as well convert.
