Looking for a propane heating tip

admin

Hey guys, I recently bought a used cutting outfit  and cylinders. The handle is a Victor 100 series. I plan on using both acetylene and propane; propane mainly for heating. Looking at the prices for O/P rosebuds online made me nearly choke. Past outfits I have owned, have come with the tips. It seems the cheapest place I can find a MFN-1 heating tip is $80-$100 !!!  Since am a weekend warrior now a days, I was looking for a used one or a generic brand that fits my handle. I found one source at weldingdepot.com, $37 for a generic, but I was wondering if there were others out there. ThanksAllen
Reply:I've always been advised by those more knowledgeable than me, to not use a rosebud with propane. I just use my cutting head. Have for years with no problems.

Reply:best bet might be a larger   acetylene cutting tip used just for heating.,
