    Thanks for your presentation! Kudos to you, your explanation of star patterns of gas flow is extremely helpful! I'm learning things now from your video that I'd hope that an apprentice metal worker might learn, so your video is extremely important to a whole bunch of people! (I'm a 70 y.o. retired pilot and amateur metal sculptor who recently changed from oxy acetylene to oxy propane.)

    Smith’s & Miller-Smith history: Smith Equipment Manufacturing was founded by Elmer Smith in 1916 as “Smith Inventions”. Located in a garage in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it began as a small design and manufacturing operation, building a line of oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment. In the 1950s, the business was expanded to supply, high pressure and specialty gas regulators for laboratories and aerospace applications. Looking for a more high tech name and fitting for those industries the company name was changed to TECOM Corporation which is an acronym for The Elmer Smith Company of Minnesota. In 1981 the oxy-fuel equipment manufacturing portion of the business, then known as Smith Equipment was relocated to Watertown, South Dakota and the specialty gas regulation operations remained in Minneapolis. TESCOM Corporation was later purchased by three of its managers and in 1996 the Smith Equipment oxy- fuel manufacturing operations in Watertown were later acquired by the investment group, Full Circle Investments. In 1998 Smith Equipment was acquired by Illinois Tool Works (ITW) a Fortune 200 global diversified industrial manufacturer. Miller Electric Mfg. Co. the most powerful welding equipment brand in North America and part of the same parent company (Illinois Tool Works Inc.) as Smith Equipment, has been working together for years aligning in the same principles and best practices in manufacturing. In 2013 the Smith Equipment line of oxy-fuel cutting products was consolidated under the Miller brand, making it possible to take advantage of the strength, equity and recognition of Miller, who has long been known and respected as an industry leader in metal welding and cutting technology. The Watertown operation manufactures an extensive line of oxy-fuel, gas regulation, cutting, welding and heating equipment as well as specialty gas regulators, gas mixers, jewelers torches and aircraft pitot tubes.

    He did a fantastic job of presenting this propane torch, i didnt know propane could be as fast and clean as Acetylene in an cutting operation. Im still not convinced that it could be better for welding than Acetylene tho. Also this Gentleman could just be the dad of Jason from Fireball Tools.

  • @leonardpearlman4017

    People DON'T weld with Propane! Acetylene and sometimes Hydrogen, that's it! Brazing, silver-soldering commonly, but Acetylene does it all if you have it, if you can afford it, if it's not out of stock (!).... I use both. THIS VIDEO shows something that really nobody knows about using Propane and Oxygen, I try to get students to watch it, 12 years later.

  • @earthstewardude
    @earthstewardude Жыл бұрын

    Why is it I cannot find an old Smith torch catalog? I can't find any source of information on the various models of Smith torches throughout the years. I came across a photo of a small Smith torch that resembles a Victor J40 and could not find that torch anywhere. I wanted to try and figure out what the model # was with no luck! Does Miller/ Smith have a catalog of torches from the beginning? I would think Elmer Smith was be disgusted if there was no library of Smith torches from the beginning.

    Seems a big difference in the shutdown. I was accustomed to fuel maintaining combustion after the oxygen shutoff. Perhaps I was using an unsafe procedure or am less familiar with propane as fuel.

    Bottles should only be cracked one full turn at the most. 40lbs of oxygen seems like a awful lot . Is that the cost of using propane instead of acetylene?

Too many KZread videos are verbose and "stream-of-consciousness" BS and that it is why it is SO refreshing to see you being "old school". Again - thanks for the video. I'm now in the market for a torch. LOL

    Open the bottle valves all the way, so that if anything bad happens, you have to stand next to the propane bottle for an entire 30 seconds turning it back off again

My cut piece drops now just like yours .

    Yes! He's getting those numbers from a table in the little book that comes with the regulator. In the welding world generally I think there's a lot of guessing at this point because the information is lost, or you are using different brands of torch and tips! There's general information about oxy-acetylene cutting that helps you figure this out (it's in old books), but oxy-propane technique is not so common.

    Why did you shut off the oxygen to kill out the flame? I've always been told on acetylene rigs to shut off fuel first. Is this a difference between propane and acetylene?
