This is great info you are posting up David, I haven't used oxy for welding since the late 90's, I have only Mig and Tig + plasma, so there is no need for oxy, I agree oxy welding is easier and simpler to finish, but the economics just doesn't cut it. With the cost of gas and bottle hire, just doesn't make it viable for me which is a shame.
Here we can buy our Mig and Argon bottles straight out, (no yearly rental) but they haven't done that for Oxy Accet as yet.
Maybe when that happens ill go back to Oxy welding, I do miss my henrob torch.
Thanks for your time posting as its pretty valuable for those who currently and want to get into it.
