Acetylene Weld Kit
How long do oxy & acetylene tanks last?
Im considering buying this cutting torch set-up
http://www.tractorsupply.com/victor-oxy-acetylene-welding-and-cutting-tote-torch-kit-3862540
I like that it is portable and I can take it with me places easily. The oxygen tank is an R 20 cu ft and the acetylene tank is a MC 10 cubic foot. My question is if I am doing some serious cutting, how much run time will I get on the tanks?
Also considering this one.

Im just afraid that I wont use that much oxy and acetylene in a years time.
I have 3 pickup trucks here that need to be cut up an scrapped, need to do a little bit of welding but ive already got a good mig welder. Anyways after I get rid of the 3 trucks I will probably cut up about 1 vehicle per month.
I’ve got an 80 oxy and 75 acet tank. I use it mostly for cutting, with a little brazing and a moderate amount of heating. I bought them in the middle of December last year, and about a month ago I had to get another oxygen tank. You’ll need a bigger tank than a 20.
Also, I have an 80 cf C25 tank for my mig welder. Haven’t changed it out yet. Have gone through 6 or 8 lbs of wire so far, so that gives you an idea how much oxy you’ll use.

Metal Art Can Be Very Expressive
Fist Fire can be very expressive, whether it is huge sculpture, jewelry, wall art, fine arts or even structural work. Even a fundamental knowledge of metalworking will allow you to begin creating. Here is how to get started as a metal artist.
An integral skill to metalworking is welding though it is easy to pick up it can take years to master. Welding is a method of combining two pieces of metal by focalizing an electric current in a specific area, which induces the metal to heat and fuse. Metal inert gas welding is the most well-to-do to learn conformed by arc/stick welding. Inert gas welding using tungsten is specifically for non-ferrous metals. The traditional method but is mostly used by welders is oxy-acetylene welding. Planning to create jewelry or other designed plan in details, skills in soldering is needed.
Be comfortable with metal grinders because they are easy to master and used continually in metalwork. A handheld grinder, composed of a grit wheel that rotates quickly, used for smoothing, etching and cutting metals evenly.
Soldering is used to combine tiny pieces and non-ferrous metals like the process of welding. A well-protected welder ensures first his or her safety since metalworking is a very serious practice, thus it is crucial that you every time you work wear protective gear. This includes goggles that are shatterproof, breathing and welding masks, earplugs, suede covers for your clothing or leather, gloves that are heat-resistant, protection for long hair and steel-toe boots. A fire extinguisher, first-aid kit and eyewash handy are also necessary tools to bring when soldering or welding. Do not look closely on the spark when you are welding or soldering because the light produced might burn your retina.
A good idea to get the resources for the projects on metals are the use of scrap metal but it is gaining popularity due to the increasing price of metals. Fist Fire needs specified techniques and products to set-up the surface and maintain the final finish. The list of things for ways to apply art on metals are lasers, paints, lacquers and other materials worth decorating for in a metal. Other processes for metal artworks are anodized coatings and powder coat finishes. Finding the correct finish that enhances your artwork to its best effect may take time and consideration. You can do some of these finishes at home with a minimal amount of equipment and a small-designated area for painting.
